New Wheels: Question

[vladlos]

those wheels are pretty sweet. i think i'm going to be the next hubcap boy for the winter. my silver steelies look like barf x 49834548. i want some honda hubcaps or something til the salt gets washed away so i can put my rims on again.

move down to florida, you don't hafta worry about salt - just make sure your AC is very very cold

i'm looking for a set of Motegi MR7's in a 15" but cant find any in my price range

Check Ebay...those damn things are a dime a dozen...There is also a company named Exel or something that has a set like that, I always remember seeing them in magazines on special.

man I miss miami right about now... I just got like a foot of snow in Mass.

and btw those rims look tight, I love 5 spokes. and that sounds like a great deal.

[vladlos]

haha, holy crap, i was wondering why my post went over to the second page.... i think gunmetal rims would look nice.

[jeef]

I love gun metal, but i dunno on a white car, if that yours in the avitar...

But its your car and your choice...

i have 15s on my hatch i just got not even a month ago, they look good since my cars been droped, tires for 15s arent too high in cost either, i have falken ziex (forget the model #) and they were 55 a peice, didnt think that was bad, they grip and go...

[90civicracer]

I love gunmetal rims on a white car...Before I decided i'm not putting anymore money into my car I was going to get a set of gunmetal rota slipstreams with a polished lip.

[icE_x]

tires aren't too bad in price for 15s 16s even 17s. I went to a shop and saw some motegi mr7s, i wanted to get em but the price was out the roof , and the guy at the shop was about to close at 5:20 when it says 5:30 so they were being gay waiting for me at the door while i'm trying to look at the stuff

Your speedo might be off by a unnoticeable difference though. Maybe 1-2 mph error which isn't enough to justify getting your speedo recalibrated. My friend works at a speedo recalibration shop and he says even with the changing weather your speedo can be off as much as 5mph when the seasons change.

If you get 15s for your year car you would need 195/50x15".

But as someone mentioned before if your tires only lasted 6 months you have an alignment problem. My tires usually last about 1.5 years before getting new ones. So before getting new tires get an alignment 1st or you will just have the same dilemna.

[icE_x]

yea, i plan on getting a shop to give me an alignment and then put the new wheels on, some cheapo place like pepboys or something

ty for info on speedo, i'll hafta look up one of those calculators that tells you how much it will be off. Not good if a cop is right on ur bum tho, goin 55 in a 50 by accident and he feels like pullin ya over but how often does that happen? lol

i originally wanted 15's but i figured 16's would look a lil nicer. Plus the wheels are only available in 16's and 17's. I looked up a catalog and they look almost EXACTLY like motegi wheels...and way cheaper
