Trying to choose my slicks for this year. Minimum suggested rim width is 6.7" (7.7" tread width +/- 1" for acceptable rim size).

14" wheels are lighter, will be cheaper, and end up with a larger sidewall on the slick. But they're usually narrower.

15" wheels are far, far, far more available and usually wider, cost is only slightly higher.

Which should I get? What wheels should I get for the slicks? I can't even find 14s in 7" width, no problem finding that for 15s, but I have no idea about weights. I've never even had rims on my car so I just have no clue.

Price is of course a major factor, no custom wheels here...

 

why not 13s?

 

They don't clear my brakes.

 

I havn't looked at slick choices in a while, but there was a lot more variety of size when you are on a 15" rim. I would see if you could pick up some rotas for cheap in 15x7...IMO

 

yeah i had some 14inch bogarts and slick choices are so limited, have you looked into backspacing the wheel with some spacers?

i run bogart 13s on gsr brakes

 

What size backspacers are you running mrbsponge and what was the cost on those? I have LS knuckles and it barely clears the CRX wheels; I think they're the same size brakes...

ImportMotorSpec, ya, that's the way I'm leaning right now Though there is plenty of choice in 13" as well, that's a pretty common race wheel size!

 

ttt for wheel info... 13s fit or no? What works for people? Help a wheel noob out!

 

13in Lenso's will fit on gsr brakes no problem.

 

i say for 15 inch welds im running 15x8 they are so fuc**** sexy!!!!
