Not sure about the decals but, you were asking about the tire size. That depends on what car its going on and such. Here's a bit from the faq to lead you in the right direction.

What size tires should I get?

The proper size depends on your car, not just the wheels you are using. So if you want to ask what size you should get, let us know what kind of car you have (year, model, body style, version)!

For a CRX, del sol, or pre-'96 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

13" - 175/70-13
14" - 185/60-14, 195/55-14
15" - 195/50-15
16" - 205/40-16, 195/45-16

For an Integra or '97-00 Civic, the following sizes are usually best:

14" - 185/65-14, 195/60-14
15" - 195/55/15, 205/50-15
16" - 205/45-16, 215/45-16, 195/50-16
17" - 205/40/17
.
.
.
If your year, model, and version is not listed above, the best size (at least, for street use, rather than track use) is generally one which has about the same outer diameter as the stock tire size for your car, preferably within 1 percent, and which is no more than 20 mm wider than the stock tire size. If you're still not sure, you can use the website of a tire retailer like the Tire Rack to find recommended size(s) for your car.</TD></TR></TABLE>

The Spoon decals are found on the newer SWs.

195/45/15

the proper size tire for a 15 inch wheel is a 195/55/16 so that it doesnt throw off your speedo.

They look too glossy to be real. Is there a Desmond sticker on the inside of the rim? And do they say Made In Russia on the back of one spoke?

There are a couple of companies that make them. I think the cheapest currently available are from Kumho. It's been a while since I worked out the ratio, but if I remember correctly they achieve the same effect as replacing a 4.4 final drive with a ~4.6 final drive.

99hondacura

where exactly do they say russia? what other things do the wheels suppose to have to show authecity?

cetcivic
