Planing on buying some rota slipstreams for my 00 civic .. not sure whether to go 15'' or 16'' .. any opinions? any help is apreciated

 

go with the 16".. but tires will be cheaper on 15" wheels..

compare then prices on tires before you pick..
its not much more just depends on your budget

 

i would go for 16s. just the right size for a civic. not too big not too small.

what do you guys think about some 15''? theyve been telling me that 15' rota slips are the lightest, but are 15'' to small?

I like my 15" wheels. Save about 20 lbs. a corner compared to the 17" it came with.

 

I'll say for performace use 15", if you want look go for 16"

 

16's ftw!

 

i think im just going to settle with some 15'' because im on a budget, how much would tires for the 15''s run me? ..and what would be good size and make? .. thanks

 

In my opinion, 15s seem alittle too small, I would go with 16s unless you plan on going with some kind of drastic drop in the suspention. 16s seem to fit a civic "just right"

IMO 15s look way nicer than 16s. They're also lighter, cheaper and tires are cheaper too!

Dunlop direzzas are somethin like 50 bucks a pop for 15s. Two of my buddies have been runnin em for a while, they love them. check out tirerack.com they'll show you all the reviews.

 

yea...on a 00 civic...16's are good wth 45 series tires..

if you had an EG Hatch, 15's with 50 series would be nice...

15's on a 00 Civic might look a bit small but still good...

i say go with some ES-100 tires...

 

hha..dam i cant decide.. could anyone post any pics of 2 civics (2000 civic Ex preferably), one with 15'' and the other with 16''? .. i have a silver 00 ex .. want to get black rims, since im a newb i cant post in the app. cosmetic forum.. thanks for all the help guys!

 

Id say get 15s but Im biased. Just search you will find many pics.

 

15's

 

will the chasis sit high on the 15''?..

depends on how ur suspension...if you got adjustable, you can always lift or drop..

 

for your year civic(6th gen) i'd say get 16's. if it was the 5th gen then i'd get 15's!

 

16s

I have to agree, also consider your intentions with suspension, how you drive, and road conditions in your area. My 00 EM1 is on stock wheels/ 205/50-15's. Was tucking 1/2 the sidewall, but had to raise 1 inch due to the wifes driving and Va. road conditions. My front/rear bumpers and muffler were murdered within 10 min. of her driving.

 

16's!

They look just right with 45 or 40 series tires.

15's are nice, but imo just a tad on the small side.
