he said his rims were 14's not 15's so i think its a bad idea to get 195/55/15's

if u can find some 15's get those...mr5's r da **** tho

You might wanna try and mount the rim on and spin it to make sure it doesn't rub on the caliper though, I would.

I make that type of cash as well, but property & invetsments are more important to me than wheels. There is nothing wrong w/ knock off's IMO, and I certainly don't understand why you would be hostile, or upset if somebody else would prefer to save $1000+. But, to each their own I guess.

toyo proxes are made 195/50 and 55/14

I just can't afford them.
195/60's look fine IMO on my hatch

i make investments my self.. like i said about my carrer, and retirement.. not only that.. i can honestly say im the 1st of my friends at the age of 21 to own my own house... hold 3 car titles, afford to have them all on "dope" wheels.

i just take offence when "we" pay sooo much for wheels that were never introduced to the states and make cheap knock off's that look like them, and drive down the value, and fact that they're uniqe. now maybe you can see where im going.

if the CRX was the hottest car today.. would you be upset KIA made the exact same body style, and called it their own? come on now.
