I really like these wheels


But they only come in 17's

Anyone know of any brand that makes something VERY similar to this wheel in 15 / 16's?

 

go with the 17s. they'll look just fine.

 

17's are too big for a del sol. The smallest tire commonly available for 17" wheels is 205/40-17, which is too big in diameter (an inch larger than stock). Stick with 15" wheels and 195/50-15, or 16" wheels and 205/40-16.

 

205/40/17s would be fine. jesus.

google some del sols with 17" wheels and you'll come across a few that look real good. just make sure you lower it.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna go with 15 / 16's

Just can't find a damn rim that looks like this smaller then 17's

No, they won't. They will throw off your speedometer and odometer, and they will make your car accelerate slower. Those are FACTS, not opinions.

Just because other people do something that causes a lot of problems, doesn't mean that it's a good idea.

 

those are ugly anyways.
read the rules

1. anywayS is not a word
2. he didn't ask an opinion, he asked if people knew something similar... he was well within the rules

 

my bad.
i apologize.

 

is it possible to put 205/55/16 on a stock suspension on a 97 sol si?

I really like those Michelin Primacy mxv4 tires but that's the only size vailable for my 16" rims..

No. That size is MUCH too big for your car. On 16" wheels, you need 205/40-16.

The Primacy MXV4 is an all-season tire. If you need all-seasons (because you'll be using these tires on winter snow as well as the rest of the year), the Kumho ASX is much better in every way than the Michelin, it's a lot less expensive, too. And the ASX is available in the 205/40-16 size you need.

 

They are ugly IMO.

Buy what you want.

 

I'm not sure about the expensive part though..

costco has a 60 rebate on michelins so they come to 101/tire that incluldes lifetime balancing rotation, etc

asx's are 75+shipping+installation so it actually might turn to be more expensive
I'll probbaby try the michelins and if they rub will use the 30-day return policy to get my money back from costco

For a WORSE tire in the WRONG size.

Shipping usually is around $10/tire and installation $10-15/tire. Still less - for a BETTER tire in the RIGHT size.

But you seem determined to get a worse tire in the wrong size. Go for it...
