Im in the market to buy new rims. I wanna know what size rims are the best for a crx for maximum street performance. i keep hearing that i should go with 17's but i think thats too big?

 

15's or 16's max i'm putting on some spoon 16's soon but i might switch to 15's i don't know i keep switching sizes

 

Dont go any larger than 16's. 15's are the ideal compromise between handling and light weight. I sometimes wish I got 15's instead of 16's. The 16's do look good though.

 

I'd go with the 15s, and definatly wouldn't go with anything bigger than 16. I had 15s on my CRX and i was very happy with them. Just get some decent, pretty low profile tires and they'll look fine.

I knew it!!!!!!!!! I had heard 15's were the ideal rim size for a crx. I went out looking for rims yesterday and the guy at the main performance shop in my area, kept telling me to get 17's. He kept tellin me it wouldnt affect the ride or performance of my car. He said as long as my car wasnt lowered it would ride fine. Hey can i lowere my car with 15's and still handle and take turns with a quickness? I know lowering the height of a car will mess up handling anyways but is it stil best done with 15's on a crx?

 

Your car will actually handle much better lowered with 15s than it will with stock rims/tires. My car is lowered over 2", and my 15s handle excellent.

 

who told you lowering your car will affect taking turns no it won't unless you cut the springs just change your suspension cheapest way to go is buy ground controls and tokicos unless you want a real setup for a road racing like mine GAB revolution stroke 2s and remember SKUNK IS JUNK
