I have narrowed it down to two choices for wheels to buy for my new Azenis that just came yesterday:

These will go onto my red 97' GSR

1. Rota Circuit 8's (15x6.5)(Bronze,Black,Gunmetal) = really look good, but only 6.5" wide

2. Kosei K-1's (15x7)(Anthracite) = ugly to me, but they are 7" wide

I really do not know what offset to look at in either one of these wheels. What would be good if I want the rim/tire to be slightly inside the line of the fender almost like stock. I don't want the rims/tires to stick out from the side of the car. Would one offset fit the Azenis any better on the car because they are so wide, or is that all dependent upon the width.

Will the extra .5" with the Kosei's over the Rota's really eliminate a noticable amount of the sloppy feeling on turn-in associated with the 205/50/15 Azenis? Let me know what you guys think, and what color/offset I should get.

Thanks,
Jon

 

rota third set of Rotas for me, awesome price/performance ratio. keep the Azenis tire pressures up, they can be up to 50 psi Max (on sidewall text) I think for Azenis and you will have excellent turn-in response

 

What color do you think for a red gsr? I was torn between the bronze, black, and gunmetal. What offset for the rims?

By the way, I like your civic rally car, that's sweet.

Thanks in advance,
Jon

 

i was not to fond of the K1s at first but now they have really grown on me. i'd saw get the k1s

 

why the hell would you put a rim you think is ugly on your car just because it fits?

 

bronze w/ red=

 

rota's

 

I really like the bronze or black C8's, but I still don't know what offset to get? I don't want them to stick out. Do the C8's come in a 50mm offset?

Thanks again,
Jon

 

Definitely. C8's bronze. Sweet

 

i say screw both of those and get the rota gramlight copies in bronze

 

Black Rota SS.

 

Yah the K1's will probably last longer than any Rota ever will

 

another choice is OZ superleggera, the price is good on those, weight is lower then Rota, and they are 15x7"

 

I did not know they made the 15x7 Kosei K-1's in Anthracite? Anyway I'd make sure the rim is 7in wide, you can use 6.5in but the Azenis are so wide (larger then 215mm) your better off with the wider rim.

I dont really see anything wrong with putting the 205/50-15 on a 6.5" wide rim.

 

I did not say there was anything wrong with the 205 Azenis on a 6.5in rim. I just said you will benifit from the added width of the 7" with how wide the Azenis are.

ImprtTunr,
Sweet car man, I think I've seen you driving around Summerlin a few weeks ago. I agree with your thoughts on the Vegas import scene. Glad to see a clean ride like yours in Sin City.

Here's my Civ, keep and eye out for me.

Has Rota released their Attack wheel in 15 inch? I am leaning towards a set of those myself for track wheels only

no one knows about the Rota Attacks in the 15' version?
