I have silver "15 Rota Circuit 8's on my civic. Got them with a set of Kumho 711 tires for $640 mounted, balanced and INSTALLED. Wheels O git for $90 a piece (because the shop messed up my original order, so cut me a deal because of it) and the tires haappened to be on sale at the time for $28 a piece! The wheels are 15x6.5 size, and right now I have 205/50 15 Yokohama ES100 tires on them.

Very soon I'm going to be upgrading to some Rota Grid wheels in a 16x7 size and in royal black color (black face on a polished lip). I'm getting them for $450 for the wheels, and I'm currently shopping for tires for them, 95% going with Falken Azenis Sport RT-215 tires as they are about the only ones made in 215/45 16 size which is what I want size I want to put on them. My C8's I'm going to KEEP and use for when I race auto-X, the Grids will be my street wheels. The "15 Circuit 8's weigh 12lbs. per wheel, and the "16 Grids weigh only 14.5lbs. per wheel, so that was important to me, only a 2.5 pound weight increase.

hey Silver, im getting 205/45 tires, should i go with the Falken ZE 512 or the Kumho 711 tires ???

Sorry to speak for you Silver but I had Falken ZE 512 and they were excellent.

Also Silver, will that tire fit well on your car? 45 series sounds like it may be a little tall with 215s.

hey thx loesch, have you heard of spyeng.com i wanna buy my rota's from them but i dont know if i should.......

I'm waiting for Jaydm.com to get in some 17" Rota Attacks so I can buy a tire package from them =P

I'd go with the 16"s if I had a Civic, but the Accord just needs something bigger =(

I'd go with the ZE-512's as well. Having owned a pair of 711's which were pretty damn good for their price, I'm pretty for certain the 512 is a better tire.

45 won't be too tall, because it's the closest size (215/45) in a "16 wheel/tire that plus sizes to the original stock size of 185/65 14. Also I'm not worried since I'm on coilovers (Teins) so I can adjust the height, which I anticipate I'll have to do anyways. I had to do that when I went from 195/50 15 Kumhos, to the 205/50 15 ES100's I have right now.
