I got a black '94 del Sol and I'm thinknig of getting some nice rims. I'm either getting 15's or 16's.

here are my fav. choices...

Rota Circuit 8 in Gun Metal (they're the 2nd wheel from the top left) http://homestead.juno.com/KIMCOSMIC/WHEELS.HTML

or

Racing Hart CP-035 in white http://www.racinghart.com/wheel.asp?mkid=20&mdlid=113

I'm eitehr gonig 15 by 6.5 w/a 195/50/15 tire or 16 by 7 w/a 205/40/16 tire...what do you guys think?

 

go with Rotas, much cheaper to replace if you bend it or gets stolen, also recommend 15", much lighter, cheaper and easier to get tires

 

i myself ordered rota subzero's which are the same prices as the circuit 8's....which rims u like better? go with those...

 

id say the c8's but i got em and think they're pretty hot. get mad compliments

as far as replacing them for cheap or even getting ahold of them. you might want to see if they're still available. since mugen sued rota for copying they're design of their forged aluminum wheels. so while some place may still have them in stock and they popular. production by rota has stopped. and tehy are only being made by muegen at about 800 per wheel. of course they weigh less though...


plus i thought the racing harts were lighter than 12?

and if your getting wheels especially light weight wheels wouldn't you want to go ahead and get teh extra half inch at 7" wide instead of 6.5"?

 

kinda funny... those Rotas are $400 a set, those Racing Harts are easily $300 each.
no comparison.....
the r/h are such a better wheel but you pay thru the nose for it.

I personally have a set of Rota C8 and plan on another set since they are such a great deal I was able to afford Advan AO32R tires for daily driving.
much better control/handling/feel with the Advans too... I feel spoiled
