15x7 vs 15x8 wheels
we've been running 225/45-15x7's for years now on our 95 Civic hatch. With all the new tires offering a 225/45 I'd like to switch to a 15x8. Who makes a proper fitting wheel? I'm thinking 25et or there abouts. I've looked through Rota's lineup without much luck. Kosei's? 949's?

I run Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s in 15x8 ET35. They're not the lightest wheels but they come in a variety of offsets and they can take a lot of abuse. I run Hoosier R7 225/45R15 and they just fit under the stock fenders of my Prelude.

949Racing makes a really nice 15x8 that is light weight and tough according the miata guys. I second the Kosie and the Advanti for affordability. The Rays TE37 and gram lights are a bit too much money in my eyes to run on the track and risk destroying them. But your budget and idea of too expensive may vary from mine. The Enkie RPF1 is in the middle as far as price between the 949 wheel and the Rays options.

All 15X8 wheels offsets should not affect weight.
Team Dynamics 1.2 pro race 14.5 lbs
949 6UL 11.6 lbs
RPF1 11.3 lbs
Advanti Storm S1 11+ lbs
Te37 10.9 lbs
Team Dynamics 1.2 pro race 14.5 lbs

Re: 15x7 vs 15x8 wheels
awesome, thanks everyone for the suggestions. whats an ideal offset? our current 15x7's range from 38et to 40et. i'm guessing around 25et? only concern is the rear trailing arm and our brake ducts up front.
