Default Got some new shoes :thumbup:

I'm not sure how many of you saw the pic of my hatch (aka big wheels) but if not heres the link https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=788742

Well I traded those rims for a set of 15" black rota's w/ tires and a set of 17" tsw hocks without tires. I'm selling the hocks, but i traded the slips for these plus some cash.

I'm excited cause i won't be pushing those heavy *** 17"s anymore, so it should add some quickness to the lil hatch. From what i hear heavier rims are good for higher top speeds though for enertia. This physically makes sense, but can anyone back it up with experience, or disprove it?

Rota's (stolen pic thx 95sol) just in case you live under a rock and don't know what they look like :



LS with polished lip:








can't wait to put them on! comments welcome

You don't really know your OEM wheels do you? Those LS mesh wheels are 15".

i don't really like the way the ls rims look with a painted center with the lip polished because the lip isn't as offset as some of the other wheels with a polished lip. Either way, you came up on a good deal and it definetly looks better than what you used to roll on. Congrats

they both would have been nice on your hatch. you keep talking about weight, the rota slips are 11-12lbs, and the LS's are 15-16lbs.
