hello ive seen on other forum sites people talkin trash about motegis but i just purchased some today and i should be gettin them tomorrow i just wanted to hear what other people have to say about them ?

need feedback please

 

it's like with enkeis, the rp01f's are nice, but the bottom end line is crap.

What kind of motegi's?

 

FF7's 17"

 

17's are going to ride rough and cost you an assload in tires.

Not to mention the extra wear on your brakes/suspension components.

17" wheels are a bad idea for a street civic IMO.

A comfortable tire on those are going to be much bigger than the overall diameter of the stock wheel/tire.

Wheels are wheels, the wheels you got are heavy as explertive, but they look okay and won't break unless you smash into something.

 

My buddy has the 16" ff7s on his eg6 and they seem to ride nice. ive got some 17s on my eg6 and they ride decent. it just depends on what your trying to accomplish. cause i know my 17s have a lot more rotating mass which will lower the life of my brake components but they do fill the wheel wells rather nicely.

 

IMO the Motegi Traklite 1.0 Anthracite w/ machined lip are so sexy.

 

Dont do 17's i had them and in retrospect i wish i had gone smaller...either 15 maybe 16 if i liked the wheel enough

 

To start, 205/40/17 tires have the exact same O.D. as the stock 185/65/14 (for the most part).

Tires aren't much more expensive than a decent performance 15" tire. As a matter of fact, the Kumho AST is only $50 a tire at Tire Rack (considerably cheaper than most 15s of similar performance).

If you pick a lighter weight wheel, there will be no increased wear and tear on your suspension or brakes.

If YOU want 17s, get them. Don't let the fanboys here steer you in a different direction.

 

ha ha yeah i hear ya and i already bought them today and getting them installed tomorrow i just wanted to know peoples opinion of the brand .... and 17's i dont think will affect the ride that much my friend has 17s and they ride smoothly .... it is a daily driver but i dont drive that much right now cause my license are suspended

 

i agree. if you like something do it. dont let everybody tell you that your an idiot. if u like it do it. thats final

 

oh. and you can get the yokohama parada spec 2 tires for 75 from tire rack. good tire for a cheap price.

 

By all means if that's what you want go for it.

In the end it's all what you like, I meant to add that to the end of my other post.

I had 17's on my civic for a while too.
