I noticed that Racing Hart and majority of the other rim makers only make rims in the 17", 18" and 19"+ sizes now. I don't ever see 15" or 16" rims. Do 17s look any good on an EG?

 

no

haha all joking aside..anything bigger then 16s just dont fit right and rub.

I like the look of 16s (i have 16s on my car) but i like the function and tire prices of 15s. My next set of rims will be 15s.

liam

 

ouch, i have 17's

to each his own really...

I perfer 16's on egs and 17s for eks

 

dude on the lastest HCI mag the blue hatch has 19's i dunno about 19's but i'll just stick with 15's to 16's

 

at least i can get traction at the track with the 17's

no poking fun either ! HAHA

Its all good. Car looks nice.

liam

 

yeah, your car actually looks good w/ the wheels. i like the white.

 

15's for EG, 16's for EK

 

In my opinion 15's and 16's are good for track, but if you're just using the car as a daily driver and want the looks, go for the 17's.

 

17's look alright sometimes,
but its more often that they look awkward
too look good you have to be dumped, and probably sporting some lip/skirts

 

Where does one find 15" and 16" rims? Like Racing Hart or even Volks?

 

I love these... come in 15's. Can not seem to find them anywhere.

Racing Hart and Volk make plenty of 15's and 16's.

 

17's on a Eg are a preference thing. I prefer no bigger then 16's on a EG and 17's on a Ek/DC2...but ultimately if you like them on you EG (17's) don't bother asking this forum because you are goin to hear mostly no.

 

17's look like *** on civics. Most of them I see look all jacked up like 4x4's unless they have a huge drop. Go with 15's or 16's if you want any kind of performance. I'd stick with 15's on an eg.

but u gots the Z3 fenders so its alllllllll good stunna

 

big rims are people with small penii

 

I don't run slicks on the 17's. I have 15's that i have slicks for but what i was saying was that the 17's have more weight and thats takes more power to make them spin. The del sol is turbo so when it kicks in around 3k i just get a faint spin whereas if you were N/A then you shouldn't have anything bigger than 15's for the track. However when i run 15's with street tires i have major problems with traction.

 

How about this idea. The smallest wheel possible to increase final drive, but still squeeze your brakes under. The only reason i'd even consider something larger than a 15in is if I get a Huge brake upgrade kit.

 

Question:kinda on topic,but what size tire are everyone running on there 15's?Also if you have some pics it'd be great.peace.
