i'm gettin 16s , stock rolling circumference or smaller actually and they're pretty light 17 lbs

 

well first of all, i dont really race nor go to the track for times...yet. i just wanna know how much 17"s that weigh about 21lbs + tires will affect my acceleration...i mean am i going to notice a huge difference in the way my car accelerates/handles or would it only be slightly differnt were u cant really tell. sorry for my kinda blah questions, but i just wanna make sure i've got all the facts down before i make my lil investment. thanks

 

you will notice.

i noticed a difference when i went from my stockers to my rotas, youll notice going the other way.

 

You will feel a diff. at the bottom end and the ride will be rougher due to the weight and small sidewall.
I had 25Ib 17" rims and notice a big difference when got my 14.5Ib 17" rims.My steering seems better as does the ride and acceleration.

 

hmmm so does anyone actually know how much stock rollers weigh?

i'm lookin into 17lb 16" and obviously tires... any ideas as to how much that weighs?

 

I just put some 95 gsr rims on my civic because one of my stock rims was bent. I feel so much slower now; I don't know how anyone can stand it with the stock motor. Anyway, it's just another reason for me to do a swap =P

 

what size were ur gsr rims and how heavy were they? also, does anyone know anything about Enkei RS6 rims? i'd probably get 16's with them, but i just wanted to know if anybody has them and how their are on a basically stock engine...

these are the enkei rs6 i'm talkin about.


Enkei RS6 WITH PIRELLI P6000 195/50R16 tires for $700, think its a good deal? plz help me out, thanks!

The wheels are nice I had them in 17s they weigh 19.6lbs in a 16 which is a bit heavy for a 16 you will want to get a 205 40 or 45 its a little wider then a 195 and you might want a better tire. If your just looking to be rolling on a nice set of wheels then get what you like if not get a lightweight wheel.

I have gsr wheels (15.5 lbs), used to have vx wheels (13" prolly 12lbs), when I put on my freinds 17" Kosei seneka it made the car downright sluggish. The braking was worse too. I'd say get si/gsr wheels or a decent 15"/16" wheel (rota, Kosei K1, jaxx light, etc...)
