Stick with your Si's trust me you'll regret it later down the line. You'll get tired of the Slips and want to sell it and think, " Damn I should've never sold my Si's."

I would think the Rotas would be sweet wince there wider and lighter than Si..youll get better performance....what year is your car? I would think the only problem would be that 215 45 16 would be a about 1'' taller in diamter than stock on a 92-00 civic...id try and get the rotas for around 400-600 since you can get them new with 205 40 16 kumho ectsa(i know not as good) for $600

thats pretty good price, I bought mine off e-bay; $600 shipped w/ 40% tire left on them. So I would say aim around the $500 range. I have Si's on right now =p

Get it and keep your si for winter or when you get bored of the slips.

Always good to have stock wheels around.

just because the end result is lighter doesn't mean that you will have better performance. the weight of the wheel(metal) is farther from the center of rotation, making it harder to turn, making your engine work harder. the closer you keep the heaviest part of your wheel/tire(the metal rim) the better performance you will get. its just physics. lighter is not always better.
