Rota's + tire size - who is using what?
You guy's who are rolling on Rota's what are you comments on the product?
I'm thinking about ditching my heavy *** 16" for 15" rota slip stream and 50 series tires?
I am only doing this though for performance and less rotationonal mass for my little boost 5g hatch to push along.
What size tire should I be looking at putting on?

there must be a difference rolling that light a wheel? Thats why I'm dropping back. Also, is the 15" wheel ideal for the civic?

I had stock steelies before so I cant really compare them to larger rims. But I did have a lot more wheel hop with steelies than with these. I still have wheel hop with these cuz my tires suck - Nitto NT450's. Gonna go with Azenis next.

I'm rolling C8's on 205/50/15's up front, and Slips on 195/55/15's in the rear. I had 17x5" ADVAN RG's with 205/40's before. While the RG's were light for a 17" wheel, the difference when I switched to the smaller wheels was definitely noticable. Braking and acceleration are both significantly inmproved.
