Calgary,
Sold my wheels today, :cry: they were way to small for my car though, especially with the mad undersized 215/40/17 tires. With the 4 inch wheel gap it looked ridiculous. Anyway, anyone have suggestions on a good 17 or 18 inch rim with a tire size that won't look ridiculous with no lowering?

I am considering factory RSX wheels with 215/45/17 tires? Is that still too small? The offset is 45.

Thanks
 
With no lowering, I wouldn't suggest you get 18"; It won't look quite right. Get 17s. I would get the 17" OZ racing wheels that come stock on the 99 GST & GSX. :thumb: Good Luck!

Cool, do you know what tires they come with?

Why did you sell your wheels because the tires are too small? Why did you not just buy different tires? :confused: :confused:

The motegi's were too heavy.

Tis a good reason :thumb:

Are you looking for a set of light wheels? If so check out Rotas

Also, sorry this question is off topic but how come your NT (w/turbo) DSM only has 123 whp?

Yea the motegs were heavy as hell. :notgood: But my car looks soooo ghetto without them now :cry:

About my whp though, it was untuned and the bov wasn't working, going to dyno again on Monday. I should hit around 180. :D
 
i have a 2000 dodge neon with 18" chrome motegi rims on it. they are 215/35/18 and they look really nice on there. although they might be expensive, they are somthing to consider about. if you would like pictures, please email them to me and i will be happy to send you pictures of them on my neon
 
Here is a good site for wheights of certain wheels. I doubt the list is complete though but there are a shitload of wheels on there.

The Kosei K1s look pretty good and they are pretty light, around 17-18lbs
