they are Bronze 16 inch what are good rubbers to put on these? something in 40's or 45's

[the JigGa mAn]

nice choice...my buddys got a set of those but in 15s...he has falken azines wraped on his...they work good on corners...but are not ment for street racing or track racing...sometime we cant get them to hook but sometimes we cant...but they work real good in the turns

[ep_nezay]

Those are one of the nicest set that ROTA makes.
Put some 215 45 16 Azenis youll be very happy for the price.

Who says they are not ment for track use?
I use them on my EG(15s) and the EP (16s) for track and they work very well.
Maybe the tires are cold?or maybe the driver?

[Mugen_EP]

Use 205/50/16 Bridgestone Potenza S-03's:D

Nice fackin tires!!!

Well the S-03's dont come in 215/50/16's and I wasn't sure if the 225/50/16's fit. If they do lemme know cause thats what I'd be looking at.:)

Definately my choice http://www.ephatch.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

[gabbman]

they are nice. not my style .

[SiR Medic]

I'll be getting a set of these for myself!

How much of a pain in the ass is it for shipping across the border?

I had 225/40/16 at one point if that helps.

[IchBinEinSiR]

I would put on a set of 205/50ZR-16's, they keep the stock diameter and are wide enough to handle well and thin enough to not hamper the car with undo drag... and the S0-3's are the way to go for sure.

[Gasp23]

Nice wheels, I would buy those for my car but they don't come in 17"

[Team]

good wheel choice... hurry up and get some rubber so you can post some pics.

I have the sender putting the shipping value under 20US dollars so canada customs doesn't bill me the taxes on the shipping paper work value, anything under 20US dollars and your fine :)

[Pir8pete]

thx guys for your imput :) still can't make up my mind on rubbers? is there a site with pix of thoughs brands sizes you guys have mention? I'm just new to picking rubbers and not sure whats good! thx

[Mugen_EP]

www.tirerack.com

You can seach by size, brand, or rating. It's a really great site.

[EKthenEPnow]

I'm not going to give you advise anymore

cause everytime I do (both here at EPhatch and in person) YOU DON'T LISTEN or even consider my advice

I could have got you those wheels for pretty much the same price (converted Obv) here in CANADA

WITHOUT THE MESS OF SHIPPING ACROSS THE BORDER!!!!!!!

Secondly!!!!!!!!!!!

TALONTIRE.Com for tires!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PM Graham about where he got his Wheels and Tires (some place in B.C.)

if you want 40series, it should really be 215 . 205/40/16 is both Too small (and funny looking)

The best tires for the money (by far) are the Yoko AVS ES 100

W

[civicSIracer]

those are nice rotas man.. what color are they? bronze or gunmettal? they look good.. make sure yuo get the center caps!!

[toe knee]

I have bronze 16" rota circuit 8's on my black ep wrapped in Yokohoma AVS Es100....205/50/16...Very badass tires.... I picked these over the azenis becuase the way i drive i need to save as much tread i can..these tires last about 25,000 miles not raced on.

[Pir8pete]

i can only find these @ http://talontire.com

there 215/45/16 and/or 205/45/16

what does the first number mean? eg. 215 and 205 ???


Brand: Model: Speed Rating: Price (CDN) Price (USD)
Falken Azenis Sport Z $215.00 $154.00


these seem to be good for a good price! are they good?

[Mugen_EP]

The first number ie: 215, 205 is the width of the tire. Also known as the foot print.

oh ok thx :) so 215 would be a better choice?

[Mugen_EP]

Yes the 215's would be a good choice for your 16" wheels.

[Jodster]

can't wait to see them on your ride!!!

[StrangeShadow]

great wheel choice, love the mugen look.

[02TafWhtSi]

Those wheels look killer in bronze. Good luck with them!

[Endless_EP]

I thought 205/55/16 remains stock size instead of 205/50/16. Maybe I am wrong... ?:eek:

[IchBinEinSiR]

No, I believe that the 205/50-16 keeps the stock diameter of the 195/60-15 that came on the car... it comes standard on the FP Civic EX.
