My New Tires and rims

Belowe are the pics of the tire and rim. This friday I get my new tires and rims put on. They are konig heliums 15" 10.8 lbs and dunlop SP 5000's 205 60 15. They are a near perfect match to the stock size ratio. No Odometer impacts!

This saturday I get my rotors put on and the car should be lookin pretty sweet with them rims and rotors with blue calibers. I can't wait.

seth, NO I am doing it this weekend as well.

For the rest of you. Did you notice the weight of the rims. Do you notice the handling difference in your eighteens. The rims I have on my member ride pics are 16. The kit I have once painted doesn't necessarally look like a kit. It's clean and follows the lines of the car perfectly. I plan to make this car got fast and show. But fast is now my priority. So 15" s are the way to go.so if I ever see one of you at a light or track we will go and I bet you 1,00 to 1 With the same mods I will win becuase of my 15" s. But thanks for all the input.

Remeber bigger isn't always better. it's not the size of the wheel, it's how you drive it, you know what small whhels means?, I could go on and on.

Any way Youll see when I get the kit painted. I will be ride of the week!!!!

are you talking about big rotars? or just same size as stock? cuz if your getting bigger rotars like AEM or something..then you'll probably need 17's at lesat.

They look nice, for race, for show. You'd get more praise with bigger wheels. I think 17's are perfect.

thanks dawg. I am not to big into show. I just wanted my car to stand aside from evey other civic out there. I wanted to make a coupe look a lil more like a sports car. Once again my personal preferance. i like the handling and speed and could care less about praise and bling bling. I was just excited and figured I would show you all.

Nice, yeah I got 17" rims and I love them but hate how heavy they are I am seeing the loss in Gas Mileage but love the look Yeah I definately agree if I was going for performance I would go 15" rims that were light. But my project car next will be my performace ride that I go all out on

But I like what you are doing

Nick
