im thinking about getting rims this summer. the rims that i got my eyes on are these SSR rims


my main questions are 1. does anyone have these rims? if so can i get a pic on a NHBP Si? and 2. would 16x7.5 be to wide or should i stick to 16x7?

 

check out tirerack.cm... pick and paste

 

Unless some class restricts you, wider the better.

 

are you planning on seeing any autox or track time?

 

autox no...track yes..i was just wondering if having a wider rim will affect my turning, or acceleration

 

if you're not autoxing, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you buy such a light weight rim either, if you wont' be autoxing it.

 

From what I've seen, wider = better.

Check out the setups in the auto-x/rr section... lots of guys running 8+

 

by track time I meant road course, not drag strip

 

Buy the wider wheel!!!!

 

I had that exact wheel in a 16x7.5 with a 215/45/16 Azenis on my Ep3. No rubbing anywhere. Perfect fit.

Get the 7.5" wheel. Wider is always better.

 

japan express--oops...my bad...i will take my car to a road course not sure when..once i get some suspension work done..

Todd00-- you got any pics of your car with the rims?

 

wider wheels = more contact patch= lower top speed....I think....hahahhah

I am a backroads guy, get wider wheels !

 

I have 16x7.5 K1s with 215/45/16 azenis i use for autox and track.... Definitely get the 7.5" wide rim.
