Default Aero Wheels and Slicks?

I have an 88 crx with Integra LS brakes and was thinking about ordering Aero wheels from summit and some slicks. Anyone use them?

They are a good cheap steel wheel. I had some for a season, then sold them to MX6er who used them for a season. Can't complain for the price.

What offset would be best on a CRX with DA brakes?

somewhere right around 0et in an 8" wide wheel will clear most all slicks

you could go with a +25 if u were looking to rock smaller slicks like 22x8x13s or 23x8x13's

the 24's will hit the knuckle with a +25 they need about an inch more to be safe, IMHO.

Some of these steel wheels regardless of back space will not clear Honda brake calipers due to the design of the center, without a spacer. The way they transition from the hub to the barrel they do not offset it with enough angle or a curve to get out and around them.
