Is this a good deal?

I'm in need of some new tires, and since i'm ready to start modifying my car as well, i figure i may as well get some lightweight rims while i'm at it. I'm not sure if this is a good deal or not, so i'm hoping someone can help me out.

15" Wheel and tire package:
-- Any set (4) of 15" wheels and 4 Falken Azenis or Falken ZE-512 tires for $815 shipped. Tire size is 205-50-15.

The rims i'm looking at getting are going to either be Rota Slipstreams or Circuit 8's.
Offhand, i don't know what the exact size of the tires on my car are. Therefore, i don't know if the size of the tires given above is going to mess with my speedometer much, or affect gearing or anything like that. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Is this a good deal?

The 205/50x15" is a good replacement size. It's only like .1" smaller than stock so your speedo and odometer will be fine.

The Slipstreams and Circuit 8s are 15x6.5" with 40mm offset and I know guys who use this wheel and tire package and are fine with their Civics.

The Azenis is a much stickier tire than the 512s. but you will get more mileage and better wet traction with the 512s.

Thanks for the info Racer. Do you think the price is good? Or would you say it's high/low/average?

No! Not 17! Not unless you live somewhere completely devoid of potholes, have a lot of money, and don't care at all about drag racing.
