thinking of getting the 14x6" (40 offset), they supposdly weight at 10.5lbs each and cost about $90-100 each....

 

good choice!

 

yea those are the giovanni raceing rims right, there very nice i have seen them on a 5gth gen hatch in white i have also picked them up and they are very light. good quality too..good choice.

 

so its etiher this or HX wheel....very similar in weight.....so many postive things....anyone wants to add anything...

also don't want no 15" already have some 11-12lbs rims....and set of GSRs....no thanks for another 15"

 

those are nice! its a nice change fromthe rota trend thats been goin on lately.

Nope

 

I like them, I did want them at one point until I came across the Rota C8's.

 

Here they are in 17's The 14's look really small.

Sweet ride dude!!!

 

did u smoke that mustage in the back or wat? ahah

 

looks like advan RG knock offs

 

Yes they are, but they were free, and then got sold

 

free is a good thing

 

Free kicks ***!

 

I already have the power racing VS-04 rims...with tires they weight at 28.5lbs (195/50R15)....since i went to sohc, need something lighter then that.....and smaller to loose least amount of power to rotate some crazy bling bling wheels.....

 

How do you get everything for free? Free paint, free wheels. Free motor too?

 

Just wondering, who makes z-rated tires for 14's, if no one then would it be a bad choice to get 14's? Might get those rims if i can match it with some good rubbers

 

check tire rack (Dunlop SP8000 - z rated and few other race rubbers)
good sizes are 195/55R14 and even 205/55R14, but for cheap rubber 185/60R14, can't be beat

 

do you plan on doing any lapping/road racing on these rims? To me they look very weak where the wheel studs pass through. A friend of mine had a wheel come off because his cheap BSA rims failed around each of the stud openings and the wheel basically sheered off and went for a little joyride of its own. He did some fairly significant damage to his fender/wheel well area, but luckily that was all. After inspection, the other 3 rims where showing stress fractures around the stud openings too. Anyway, I wouldn't feel particularly confident racing on those rims but if they're just for street use then I'd say they're a very nice looking and lightweight rim for that kind of money

 

14" is too small IMO. Go with a 15" or bigger at least.

 

Those look good. I actually like 14" wheels on older civics. 14x6 is a good choice and they spread 185s or 195s out pretty good.

 

not bad...

 

yes the wheel is for mostly auto-xing and some amateur lapping days....not planning on slicks or any other super sticky tires, so i don't think breakage should be a problem....

15's are out of question, not enough WHP to properl them well....

 

No motor I payed for, paint job=car was in wreck asked body shop to hook me up they said "ok"
wheels=right place at the right time
Motor=let's not get started on that one, I could only wish I got that for free, for everything I have gotten for free, what I have put into my motor makes up for it and then some.

But Seriously mostly I do engine work, buildups, and swaps for people and sometimes all they have to pay me with is parts, so I take em
