i either want 16's or 15's it not for show, i plan on road race/auto cross later. What are most people running? Thanks going on an ek coupe

 

I'm running 15inch wheels with 205/50r15 tires. Never run 16's before myself so I can't comment, but I like my combo now, feels very attached to the road, but too rough.

 

i had 16in spoons on my 99 coupe....loved it.....15s on an ek kinda looks too small...IMO

 

15's are the most common. Also the most cost effective.

 

most people are running 15 for autocrossing/ road racing

 

I've got 15's w/ 205/50VR15 Kumho 712's on my 99Si. Good setup for cost, weight and performance. If you're going 16", go as light as you can afford. Rota is coming out w/ a 16" Slipstream sometime soon.

 

Though Rota was going out of business or being bought out or something.

 

yeah i think by DESMOND j/k

 

You said it! I second that emotion!

 

I run 15" R toa C8's with Yokohama/Advan AO32R for autox/track and actually now for street too.
15" wheels save weight, cost less, and 15" tires cost less as well.
I was able to even sneak an ITR brake upgrade under these 15" wheels to make the most of the loot I saved! gotta love fastbrakes.

 

I had 15" on my ek hatch, they did look too small. I wish I had put 16". I had 15" on my eg hatch...they looked good plus tires were cheap 205/50.

 

16's are good for just riding around!! but if you plan to autox.....you might want to get a seperate set of wheels.....and not 16's!! Get some nice wheels for everyday, and save your stock wheels for autox. you can get race tires for fairly cheap on 14's!!

I have 16's and I love em......the do rub sometimes when the wheel is turned hard.
cause I have 205/50/16
