Need "professional" advice :)

Ok....i'm taking advantage of the new service from the "Tirerack" guy

Looking for new rims and tires. what would you recommend, money no object, of the following for my 91 civic:

-17" OZ F1 cups
-17" VOLK TE37 in gunmetal
-17" VOLK LE37T

and for my 00 Odyssey:
-18" VOLK SE37K
-18" VOLK SE37A
-18" VOLK LE37K

and what tire size on the Odyssey to keep a nice ride? I'd consider going 17" as well on the Ody if need be to keep a decent ride quality.

oh, and if anyone else wants to help me out please do

well i'm a sucker for the F1's and why don't you post this up in the general wheel/tire forum on AF... considering the tirerack.com guys have taken the forum over they might be able to help...

Agreed, let's use this great free service the Tire Rack boys are giving by posting it in the correct forum. In fact, I'll move ya there myself

.

BTW, Tire Rack doesn't sell Volks, but they do sell SSR Competitions. That's what I bought, and in the 17" size are great looking and also 2.5lbs lighter per rim than the TE37's. They're actually the lightest aluminum wheels you can buy for reasonable money, you have to move to magnesium ($$$ and a short life span) to get anything lighter.

LOL! yeah I KNOW they don't sell VOLK

that's why I asked

However I really do want the OZ or VOLK's.

thanks guys

Go with the TE37's. Get the gunmetal 17's, cause if you ody is white or gunmetal (that dark silverish color, don't know what it is called) then it will look really good. I am trying to make my mom buy an ody, if she does I am going to try and get some rims on it.

13secondcivic · 02-03-2002, 10:47 PM

car is Tahitian green....and from the Paintshop work I've done it will look GREAT with gunmetal rims!

Ok I got kind of confused

I didn't know that the first list of wheels was for the civic (I can't read). But anyway, yeah go with those on the civic. I have seen your car before. What all did you get done to it? I knew you got a B16a put in but, what else have you done?

13secondcivic · 02-03-2002, 11:03 PM

well...here is, was, the last it looked before I pulled the ZC http://turbocivic.8m.com

as for what I am doing.....going mostly SKUNK2. cams, gears, intake manifold, RC Thottle body, CM clutch and billet flywheel....H&R springs, TOkico struts, Skunk2 tie bar, JDM steering wheel, guage cluster, FIELDS VTEC controller.....

trying to decide weather or not to go turbo? Maxrev.com. hmmmmmmmm.....it's either VOLK or turbo

91HBSi · 02-03-2002, 11:09 PM

Wow, I like the list :licker: I have the tokicos/H&R combo too and I love it. As for the turbo, that is kind of a hard one. I think I would sacrifice the wheels for speed though. I guess that is just because I am slow... and poor

Since we do not carry Volk wheels it is hard for me to comment on them or offer a concise opinion. You may want to look at this link

to see what I can offer for both of your vehicles
