I am getting some new rims and all i had was a simple question for ya. Before you say anything i don't want huge rims. I am getting new rims and i was wondering if i should get 15's or 16's??? any picks would help because i want to make sure they are not too big oops don't know why the pole is their just forget it

 

I think 15" GSR fat fives look clean on a ef, or just pick up some rotas

 

the smaller the rims the better acceleration, so id say 15

 

if you do gor 15's get rota slips they look awesome

 

15's are the way to go on ef's

yeah, that doesent. But in car world. Everything what looks nice slowers you... :D Almost...

 

i say 15s to they look good and are lite

 

I say 15s. Wonder why. I like my slipstreams or I also like GSR blades.

 

if you go bigger than 15's, your handling actually goes down because the tires can't conform to the road enough for bumps. (on our cars at least). plus, if you go bigger, its hard to find tires that are the right outside diameter for the gearing, and they have more rotational intertia.

 

15s
lighter cheaper and many awesome tires out there for them. Imo 15s look better too.

Most upgraded brakes will fit 15s too I like my 15s

 

id go with 15's..

 

i got 16's on my crx enkie rf1's with 205 40s. i think they look better than 15s but the smaller side wall does hurt the ride a little.

 

i wanted 15 rota slips but i ended up with 16 konig trafikks they llok so awesome!!!!

 

Here's my hatch with 205/50/15 (r) 195/50/15 (f)
The 195/50/15 tire with rim weighs 33 lbs. which is 3 lbs heavier than the steelie with 175/70/13 tire.

 

16's all the way

 

15s for sure, the only way I would go with 16s, is if I got the tiniest tires. Like 205/40s And of course next to a nice drop.

I heard about this a long time ago. It has to do with gearing. A wheel is one more gear any way you look at it. In fact, why do you think speedos are thrown off (even by .1 mph) by aftermarket/bigger wheels?

I always thought of this being true, but one might not always be right.

 

its only common sense. the smaller the rim the quicker it would take to accelerate. but it really wouldnt matter if you had a lot of hp to the wheels, probably wouldnt even notice.

Definantly 15's, UNLESS your planning on having a kit that hangs pretty low. 16's would fill it out better, but for stock 15's are fine.

thats what i run 15x6.5 - 205/50/15 Yoko ES100's

15s look the best on a efs

 

15's on front and 16's on the rear..



15's(azenis) in the rear with stock SI's(azenis)..


ALL 15's


But now i settle with these..SSR type X! i mean Rota auto x

 

15s are perfect.

 

Thank you guys......I've been telling the wife this for her 90 CRX as well. 15's rock on the 88-91 Civic and CRX's.

Now sorry to thread jack, but I'm wondering if 15" TE-37 look any good?

 

205/50/15 in front and 195/50 15 in rear. good setup. or 195/50/15 on all 4.

sidewall stiffness and tread design. In order Yokohama AVS ES100 being the best. for the 195/50/15 sizes
Yokohama AVS ES 100, , Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3, Kumho ECSTA Supra 712, Dunlop SP Sport FM901

i'm really not a fan of 205/50 on 15s. i wish they made falken azenis in 195/50/15 because they would be my favorite, stiff walls and nice tread design.
