Default Wheel/Tire Combo: Flix 15x6.5 with 195/50/15 Sumitomo tires.

For sale:

One set (4 total) of very slightly used Flix 15x6.5" wheels, 4x100 bolt pattern +40 offset. Mounted on them are Sumitomo 195/50/15 HTRZ tires. The combo has about 750 miles total on it (no roadracing or autoxing on them--purely street miles to work)

The inside of the wheel is painted flat black with a clearcoat over it. The lip was left the aluminum color. Wheel looks much better in person that these crappy pics I took in my basement. Please ignore the dust

Absolutely no curb damage whatsoever and absolutely no bending.

Asking $600 shipped. Wheels weigh about 11lbs per. Very light and now somewhat rare as I haven't seen these advertised in a while.

hey man, sorry, i hate to do this, but.....

how do you like those tires....i was looking for pirelli p700z's (205/50/15) and all they made was the 195/50/15 size (but noticed sumitomo made the 205/50), but i was thinking that would be a tad small. i have a 96 ek and have the 205/50's and need tires. my current pirelli's seem a little large at some times, so i was wondering how big a difference the 195/50 size would make>>obviously being a little more narrow and smaller diameter. also, how'd the tires grip...are they fairly soft? thanks, sorry i don't want to buy anything from you...

free bump, so I'll answer.

I like the 195/50 size on the 88-95 hatch. The 96+ and 94 + Integra seem to respond better to the 205/50 because they are heavier.

All of the 195/50 in performance tires don't seem to be that much skinner than the 205 in the same tire. These Sumitomos are wide as heck for a 195 and decently sticky (much more so than the P700Z, which I don't like at all).

Yep. The shiny silver was too blingin for my tastes. Everything was masked and prepped properly.

If somebody wants, I'll do them totally flat black for free I actually do them with my compressor and not a rattlecan, so quality looks very good.

Sumis were (at least the HTRZ) wider in the same size tire and just seem overall more sticky. Sidewalls on the sumis were also a little stiffer.

In reality, the P700Z was a tire designed in the 80's. Look in an old TireRack add and you'll see them.

thanks for the info... the pirelli's have been my first try on 15 inchers, and they seemed to do a good job, but hopefully the sumitomos will do well and more. thanks for the info, and good luck on the sale...


if this guy is patient enough to help me out, imagine how helpful he'd be as a seller...big

yeah, but the silver was a baaaad shade IMO. It was painted on from the factory anyways, so they could easily be restored if you wanted. They were not polished aluminum like an OEM alloy or something.
