Just complating whether to purchase some 15 lightweight technomagnesium wheels, I am currently running Light Enkei RP05 17 with 205. Any ideas?

 

The wider the better, both tire and rim size.

 

I run 215/45R16 Azenis on 16x7 Volks on my Integra. I know that I can shave couple more pounds if I go with 15" Volks, but personally I think 205 is still not enough rubber for the Integra. So I opted for the 16s and 215 tires.

 

Well are your running in STS/STX or Stock, Street Mod or a Prepared class???

 

Very important to know because the rules for each class allow for different width wheels. Generally speaking (as mentioned above), wider is better for both wheels and tires. Also important in this analysis is total vehicle weight, weight distribution front to rear, and which wheels get the power.

 

I am running street mod. The Enkeis are nice looking and strong, but I doubt the strengthn of the techno...

 

If this is for race tires, get the shortest combo possible (assuming you have stock final drive).

13x8 w/ 225 or wider tires. Panasport's multipiece wheels will clear the GSR brakes, not sure about ITR (doubt it).

Or a 15x8 or so. Tire selection in 14" isn't so good. Same for 16".

 

Humm I Auto-X in STS with Enkie FR-1s with 712s last year and Azenis on them this year. Not the lightest 15x7 rim at 15.7lbs but plenty strong for Auto-Xing.

 

hey how do you like your RF1's? Discount tire has a really low price on them right now and I may get them for my autoX wheels? (I could always use an extra set of wheels, even though I have 3 already! )

 

13x8 Ask Mike Neary!

 

13x8 panasports=$$$$$ man I just dumped mucho money to get my car set-up for DSP....LSD's and custom coil-overs ain't cheap!!! but 13x8s are the ideal set-up
