ok so here's the thing. i have konig monsoons 17" wheels on my da integra. they look pretty good but they came with the car. i'm kind of wanting to get rid of the look of the car how i bought it and make it quicker at the same time.
my friend is getting some rota gt3's next week and i told him i'd trade him straight up for the wheels. (he also has a 99 civic ex that has warped einkie rims) i told him he could put the konigs on the civic and let me have the si rims. the rims need tires but they are also lighter.
after research i found that WITHOUT tires the konig monsoons weigh 21 pounds. i haven't researched it yet but i believe the si wheels weigh the same as fat fives, correct? 13.5lbs? if this is the case i could buy new tires and shave 30 pounds off the wheels. the big question is, IS IT WORTH IT?

p.s. the rims are off a 2002 si hatch, not the si wheels many have on integras and such.

 

not sure which ones these are but

 

yeah actually that's them. wow they look good, but i know my da doesn't look THAT good. i see the leater gsr seats- nice touch. but most of all i like the rear spoiler in the back.
do you think i should do it?

 

Those are the SiR rims...i have a set on my DA...

 

the same ones come on the 02 civic si

thanks

i get alot of compliments for the spoiler..it really looks good in person. i think as long as ur dropped a bit the wheels will look fine...they are only 15s so it wont look akward on the stock body

 

what about tires? what kind do you recommend for em and what size?

I'd say get 195/50 or 205/50 Falken Azenias are good tires, I run Kuhmo 711 Ecstas right now and I enjoy them.
