Yeah I wouldn't recommend 205/40 I would say 215/40 or 215/45 myself. Also what kind of brand of tires are you looking at?

Well 215/40 wouldn't throw the speedo off as bad and I personally found the performance to be a little better. But I got my Kumho 712 for 86 each in 215/45/17. Yeah most of the places I looked at wouldn't sell a 205/40 on the rims since its smaller and the 7th gens typically can take a little more tire I was hearing. Unlike my buds 6th gen SI that takes 205/40 on his 17" rims. I still hate the road noise I have on my 17" rims but oh well Oregon roads suck so what can you do.

racing harts aren't original...its just that they are so damn expensive not many people buy them. I'm not saying they aren't nice rims...just not original (yes they are more orginal than mr7s)

Haha... isn't this the guy who used to say he had both a Civic and an RSX-S? Now asking about rims that cost $150? I think they look okay, but there are a lot that are better.
