Alright thanks for the replies guys!

Looks like I will be looking at getting something different.

What kind of rims would you guys recommend me to look at? sizes between 14" - 16"
 
How come you don't want 17s?
 
Save gas! :p


I have 16's at the moment, and I don't waste a lot of gas, but if I downgrades rims/tires I would get more MPG!



At the moment I am still looking for rims, not sure what to get or what brand/kind. Then afterwards I would have to find tires. Anyone recommend or show me pics of rim's they think are nice and not extremely expensive??


Some guy offered me Evo rims Stock 18 rims, 80% tire ish thread or so, 200$ . He took them off his Evo and changed the rims. I think 18's might be to big. I think I might end up buying them, tires + rims for 200$ isn't a bad price!



If I find a nice set of 14's 15's 16's 17's stock Rims from a GST/GS/GSX , I would buy them depending on the price and the condition they're in! :p

You should really look up a tire calculator to find out the differences in sizes. Just because you change size doesn't mean less mileage. I have a set of 215/45/17 that are almost identical size to stock tire sitting in my garage (currently up for sale) that I was getting 30 mpg on my Vegas trips with.

If you think that 16s will get better mileage then 17s just because it's a smaller "wheel" then you should do more research

I never said that 16's were better then 17's. I just stated I wanted to save gas and was looking for a set of rims/tires.

Did I mis-read this quote?

Like I said I went from a stock setup to 3rd gen eclipse wheel with eagle rsa 215/45/17 to a potenza 760 245/45 or 40/17 on evo 8 wheels which is a huge upgrade and I kept the same mileage through each.... So why try and down grade your wheels when you can significantly increase and not lose anything?

Not sure if you misread it or not, but I never actually said that " If you think that 16s will get better mileage then 17s just because it's a smaller "wheel" "

I do like the evo rims rims, they look sick in black. That is why I asked rim recommendations, not judging other rims. As long as they don't look riced out in 2 colors LOL...
