Montegi 17" Rims w/ New Tires - Calgary Tires, Rims For Sale - Kijiji Calgary Canada.

am i going to have any problems with rubbing? i have a 94 lx with stock suspension.

 

If the offset is around +40 or so , you shouldn't have any rubbing issues, however, they will look pretty ugly on the car IMO.

 

okay, so first off... Motegi's are a pretty cheap brand. They're not the worst, but all in all, they're pretty ****ty. (I used to own a set) $500 for the set is really only worth it because they've got brand new tires. And those wheels are not only outdated and outplayed, but pretty ugly too IMO

secondly, those puppies are gonna be heaaaaavy. And I know what you're gonna say, "Well, I just want it to look good, not be super fast". When I went down to my current 15's I felt a HUGE difference in acceleration and braking capability. I don't track my car either, but I do drive it pretty hard. Going down to 15's is the best thing I could have ever done to my car.

Also, when I had my 17's on my car it rode like ****. I felt every bump on the road and was constantly worried I was going to bend a rim.... which you run a pretty good chance of doing since the sidewall on those 17's is so small. (dunno what roads are like where you're from, but they're **** around here)

I'm really not trying to be a dick here. I promise. Sometimes I come across as such, but what I'm really trying to do is stop you from making a very common mistake that is made amongst the "new-to-hondas" crowd. I dont know why, but everyone thinks that when you buy rims, you should get the biggest ones you can stuff in your wheel wells. Honestly, in a few years, you'll probably hate that you ever wasted the money on those monstrosities.

bbuuuuuuuut thats just my two cents. and if I am coming across as a jerk, I am really sorry. Just trying to help.

 

i want 15-16 inch rims but cant find any used ones around. and the ones i can find don't have any rubber and im kinda on a budget. thanks for the opinions and help.

btw i'm not new to honda's really. i've had mine for 2 1/2 years but have only recently gotten interested in mods/appearance.

 

what do you think of these

I agree with Shandles. Try to make sure the wheels don't weigh any more than 16 or 17 lbs - lighter is better as long as they are made by a well-known manufacturer.

 

94civicls, the link isn't working. go to discounttiredirect.com. They have a huge selection of 15's for $100 or less a peice. Last time I was on there, you would get $50 off just for ordering online. Then, you can match those rims with a new set of tires. And they have tires for 15 inch wheels for as cheap as 70 bucks

280+350=630 thats only 130 more than those used ones you posted at the beginning and you'll be getting brand new rims! also, shipping is free

 

the link was for 15" oem 99 accord alloys with new rubber for $300. but i'll check out discounttiredirect. thanks for the help guys
