yum, sound pretty kewl. if it's atleast 6" wide, you can get some 205/55/14 on them. or if you wanna sell them let me know. i have a set of enkei 14x6 with old yoko Yokohama A008Rs 205/55ZR14 myself.

Uhh, guess it doesn't matter since you have a GSR. Sorry for the confusion

Our area CRXs run on those panasports in like 13 or 12, and use Hoosier autocrosser tires...the total weight can't be more than 15 lbs, it's rediculous. For autoX, go as light and wide as you can, as long as you stay legal in your class

Edit: Might wanna post this in the competition forum, if you haven't already, i'm sure some people there have experience autoxing GS-Rs.

It's like picking up an empty suitcase that you think is full. It's completely ridiculous how light the wheels are with tires that are about as dense as a marshmallow. If you filled them with helium, they'd float away....but, you could probably dent the rims if you looked at them funny.

all non-R 90+ integra has the 10.3" front brakes. same as my delsol vtec's. i run civic hx (14x5.5) and the enkei rally compe. both require the use of 5 mm spacer to clear the caliper bracket. it depends on the rim design. i also have a set of 13x9 keizer's w/BFG R1 215/50/13 they will also clear (just barely) the brakes.

enkei's:



keizer's:
