I am just looking for a 15" steelie that has roughly a 40mm offset for my hatch. I would love to have some all season radials on 15" steelies and keep the car kinda "beater" looking, yet have better grip.

Anyone have any info?

 

These i'd rock.





I believe the owner is RACINTWEEK and he says they are 15x6.5 VW steelies

 

lol..i knew i'd see these here...VWDM baby

Civic SIR(Si) comes to the dealerships with 15" steelies on them, call around. that's how I got mine, for $6 a wheel brand new!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Some of the 02+ Civics came with 15 steelies. Not sure which model but i know some are 15" because i almost bought a set.

what? 6 bux each??

 

Hey guys,

I was also thinking about getting some 14 or 15" steelies for my car and running bigger brakes. But I remember freading that an added benefit of running rims with a lot of open space is the brakes get more airflow through it to cool the brakes.

I dont know if that was BS or if had some truth to it, but it sounds like it makes sense. Would a rim with more open areas then that steelie have slightly better cooling? or would the difference hardly be noticeable?

 

damnnn i like those alot i mean with high grip tiers those would be killer i wonder how they would look with a gunmetle paint on them

 

that hb looks nice!!

 

hey whats up. just though i would tell you that my friend's rotors on his integra did not dissipate the heat (with the steelies) as nearly as good as when he had his RH C5's on them. he wanted to see how big of a difference there was between the two and under hard braking his rotors turned blue with the steelies and he said lost a lot of his stopping power.

Well he would lose more stopping ability compared to a 14" steelie that has a 5 inch wide tire and fat tire sidwalls. The C5's were probably 17's and had a wider contact patch @7 inches and a sidewall that would buckle under hard braking.

The 01 and up civic ex's i know come with 15" steelies

OOo...Thats exactly what I'm looking for.

I'll Look around and see what I can find.

thanks guys!

 

the scion xb's come with 15" steelies already painted black i just put some on my integra today and it looks way better than rims. keeps it less ricer

 

the 94-98? oddesseys have 15" steelies. my parents have one. i believe they are 4-lug, but not certain.

 

Yes, the (xb steelies) look very sick

 

the scion's have a smaller center hub, so they won't go on straight. the vw's use a larger hub center bore, so they go on fine, just a little harder to put the lugs on till you get used to it. some saturns have 15 inch steelies, i'm not sure of the center bore, though.

our honda's have a hub bore of 56.1 mm

oh, and i have the part number for those vw corrado steelies, i'm gonna look for it, then edit this when i find it.

here it is, if you want new ones, go to the vw dealer and ask for four
357 601 025 M wheels, but vw dealers are sometimes expensive, so a junkyard might be a good idea, too.

 

how much are the VM wheels?

umm... I dunno how just rims are "less ricer" but steelies are also quite heavy. redstandardhatch is running VX HX? wheels with hubcaps on them. I think that is ideal for the clean oem look.

Odyssey is 5x4.50 or 4x4.50 depending on the year, definately would not work on a Civic. The 01+ Toyota Corolla has 15" steelies, along with th eScion, 05' Civics

i dont think you know what your talking about because mine went on straight and they work just fine

 

Does $59 shipped sound reasonable for brand new 15" 4x100 steelies?

 

scion xb 16's 4x100

 

there is a set for sale at http://www.ownedbyftp.com
but you have to register in order to see the board they are in the classified section

 

Im pretty sure they are 15"

shipping alone probably costs $59 or more, so yes.


aren't most newer Civic stock steelies 15s? the ones on my wagon are 15" steelies from a 99-00 Civic. i don't know about the offset, though. i got them with halfway decent tires for $150, i think. better than the 13s it was riding on when i bought it.
