I'm planning on gettin a set of rims on August 14 which is honda day here in dirty jersey lol...

I know it's a lil ways from now but I jus wanna get some ideas on what would be better 15s or 16s

If u have an ek coupe can u post pics n what's ur experience with the rims?

I would post mine up but I dunno how to post up pics...

I like them but the guy I bought the car from must not know how to park next to a curb because they are tore the eff uppp!! Lol

But post pics!! Help me with ideas!!

I know what rims i want I jus need to know if 15s or 16s will b my choice

 

Man you are really indecisive huh?

 

U got an ek coupe?

 

No, but wheels are wheels and you can look at them and decide what you want...
Check the wheel & tire forum.
Every wheel known to man has been posted there and you can get advice and pictures,opinions etc.
Your question is generic and believe me its been covered.
Look for forums that are more geared to your question.

 

That's not the point man I know wheels r wheels I wanna see other ek coupes with 15s or 16s on the car

What's the big deal?
I don't wanna see EGs or EJs or integras I wanna see ek coupes

It's been covered ok I didn't see the thread for it... Wanna send me the link then?

 

Why dont you go check out sites like Tire Rack or Andy Autosport, and put your model into their nice software.
Your question has no tech in it.
You just want to see pics, Google images helps too.

 

I already did that... I wanna see cars that r worked on that are nice n ya I wanna see pics that's what I said when I started the threat... I didn't wanna sit here n talk to u...
I wanna talk to people with coupes... Not somebody on their period

 

how about you edit that last remark before this thread gets locked?

 

Lol ya

 

That's funny.

 

Hey what's up man... Is It bad if I wanna see pics of EK COUPES so I can an idea of what rims i wanna get either 15s or 16s? Lol sheesh I did look on google... Bunch of bull crap is what I found lol

 

 

Not really, it's just funny you say no EJ's.

Not sure if you can get a big picture of my avatar, but that's my car on 15's.

 

I tried to touch base on this on another thread.. But in the end its up to you..
But as I said, 15in tires are almost a thing of the past.. especially in the used department, and before people start ranting allow me to explain..

Say you are on a long trip you have a flat, spares aren't ment to be driven hundreds of miles at highway speeds.. but you only have 40 bucks.. you need a tire, but guess what 8 tire shops later, they dont have a tire to fit and a new one is way above what you have.. What do you do?

And in all defense 16s are almost the same way.... But everyone has their own opinion.

But here of late people are selling their 15's for wheels that don't break the bank when putting tires on them.. I would love a set of chrome dip dish 15s for my Sol, but I'm not crazy.. I might even upgrade to 17s

 

^ Show me a 17'' tire for $40, mounted and balanced, out the door with tax.

 

Ahh man yo 98civdx I think i need to go to bed lol I'm tired... I have 96 dx... I didn't mean EJs lmao... But u know what I mean... ( I think)

 

So ur sayin 17s r cheaper then 15s??

 

I'm just ******* with you.

EK's were never available in the US, they are all EJ's. In your case and mine, we have EJ6's.

 

Exia, you have no clue what you're talking about when it comes to tires, and you've continued to make that obvious. Please stop posting incorrect information. Tire Rack alone lists 24 options in a 205/50R15, which is the correct size for a 15" tire on a 96-00 Civic. They range from $66 to $239 ea. They list 19 tires for 205/40R17, ranging from $42 to $260. To say that a 17" wheel has more, better, or cheaper tires available is disingenuous to say the least.

There's also the fact that a 17" wheel has much greater mass, especially towards the outside of the rim. The increased mass by itself hurts acceleration and handling, but moving it another 2 inches out on all sides will make a noticeable difference, and will fry any semblance of torque and horsepower to the ground the already-weak D16 has. I'm not going to go into the math behind it, just accept the fact that I'm not lying.

Kenny, this is a tech forum, and "pictures of wheels" isn't tech. It's something 15 seconds on Google could show you, or browsing the appearance forum could tell you.

 

You can used..

Right now my 16s are 68 a piece new..

And since I have a bad camber adjustment in the front, and don't have a garage to fix it and its cold as hell.. I'm going through front tires quick.. But a good used 16 with 80% tread cost me 15 bucks mounted and balanced...

 

WTH are you talking about, I'm talking USED not NEW.. Of course you can buy them new!!!!
Sheesh read much?

 

Ya I noticed what I said after u said something lol


Jbpnoman I know I did look but I thought it would b easier and more interesting for people to post up pics of their cars...

 

So you recommend going with larger wheels because you can't find USED tires for them?

gotta love the "camber killed my tires" statement.

 

Haha I would never buy used tires

 

Lmao
