Default 99 Hatch needs some wheels



I'm getting new wheels for this 99 hatch pretty soon so I need some opinions. I'm thinking about putting some 16" Black Rota Slipstream wheels on because I like black on red. But I also think bronze looks nice on red. I like how these Tenzos look but I heard Tenzos are of poor quality. Opinions? Suggestions? I'd appretiate it.


or


These are the gram lights that were suggested.

16 inch bronze Rota Subzeros would look better than slips.

I would save just a little more and get some gram lights (made by volk) and they are pretty cheap !



good luck with your choice !

I love the way the slips look on red EKs. That is what i want to get for mine. I would get something nicer if i had the money, but for the cost of the slips it is hard to beat them.

Why do they call them gramlights from what i rember they arn't all that light.

I say go with some 15" rota Grids those look awesome attacks also look good

i think subzeros look good on tegs but not on civs i don't konw why and too damn many people have slips and C8s. i got rid of mine cuz to many people around here bought them after they saw them.

I love the Volk TE37's but they'll cost me 1800 for 16's. Maybe I could leave 14's (the one's on the car now are 14"). But 14s will cost me 1200. Should I stick to 14s? I hear smaller wheels take off faster. Any advice will be appreciated.
And... Does anyone know if there are Volk replicas out there?

I wouldn't go with 14's, too much sidewall. I'd go 15" or 16". 15" have a larger selection of performance tires too.

I like 15s...there are smaller and lighter, and you dont have to sacrafice too much in the looks department as you do with 14s.
