jerrodh Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 First off alot of the members here especially the elder members are all for performance with a nice CLEAN look. And 18's+, body kits, etc. are not generally considered as "clean". So this is why people are against the idea of 18's. But it is/will be your car and build so all the power goes to you. But if you ask peoples opinions they're give em to you and they may not always be nice or what you want to hear. But as I said its your car so you do what you want in the end. Welcome to HF btw hope you stick around new members are always nice. Also I know its the internet I know its not English class but I can hardly read what you type. EDIT: Why you never talk to me on AIM? I feal hatered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmgogo Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 TBH dude on 18's your going to be rolling on no more than 1inch of rubber, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, VERY BAD HANDLING!!!!! your best performing rims are going to be your 15's and 16's, and TBH IMO they are the best looking. this is what 17's look like with a 2" drop on a sol was not a comfortable ride, and actually lost handling compared to the stock steelies. Sidewall is not a bad thing, atleast when done in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymichael13 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 thats not completly true, most 18" rims i have seen are running 1.5-2 " of rubber, a 20" runs around an 1" rubber. but back to the main discussion....any help with good brands, non pricey brands??

CleanGSR Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 thats not completly true, most 18" rims i have seen are running 1.5-2 " of rubber, a 20" runs around an 1" rubber. but back to the main discussion....any help with good brands, non pricey brands?? NOt on a HOnda. Maybe when you see 18's or 20's on an escalade or 300C or something like that. If you run 2" rubber on 18's, you won't be able to drop it much if any at all. Trust me, my integra went through a very brief stage with 18's before I had it and it was only a 1" drop and would rub at full turn....that's with 40 series tires.

jaymichael13 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 so it wouldbe better to go with 17" with 2" rubber and 2" drop??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpearce1974 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 YES! 16's even would be better choice! http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/results.jsp...&sort=Brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymichael13 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 idk about 16 thats a little to small for me, 17 arent that bad?? arre they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 With 16's you can drop it more and have better handling. Not to mention, save weight thus improving your acceleration. With a good drop, the 16's will look big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymichael13 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 how much drop do u think i would need to make the 16 look nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airjordan223 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 18s are not that big, BUT they are too big for the car. definitely go with 16's or 17s and a minimum of a two inch drop. my car has 17's with a 205 40R 17 tire and a 1.8-2" drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrodh Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Nice pick airjordan! And i agree 16's or 17's. I'm not all out performance in my mind I like a nice set of rims and some visual (while still keeping it clean) touchups as the next person. But anything over 17's are to big.

jaymichael13 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 basically with 17" u get that nice look but lowered performance. with 16" u get betetr performance, including handeling, accelration, and lower weight, but the visual isnt as high,, hmm, this is a tough one, the price isnt that much more in between sizes so that doesnt helpppppp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I had 17's and they looked good IMO. But that was on a Civic. Sol's always look weird with big wheels. Since you have a 00 Si, you could easily pull off 17's if you wanted. 16 would be the perfect balance of handling and looks IMO though, because to me, even my 15" wheels look good IMO.

CRG7 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 don't go any larger than a 16" wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
