View Full Version : 14' or 15'
Alright I need some help here, I've had 14' when I bought the car and switched to 15' upfront at least at the time.
She felt like she was a bit more sluggish and couldn't get as high a top speed.
but I was wanting to know.
14 or 15?

also is it because I upped to 15's that she felt sluggish? *also I couldn't spin my tires and smoke em like I could on 14's*

If your 15s were really heavy, that would explain your loss of performance. Unless you spend a bloody fortune on aftermarket rims, you will be adding a LOT of weight by changing from stock.

The 15's I had where stock from a ford I believe.
how much do the SE-Is weight? I looked all over but couldn't find that.
These ones I've picked are 14.5 pounds.

Honda wheels are pretty heavy as I recall. Like 18#. Fourteen and a half is good.

14" or 15"
14' would be huge lol
i Have 16"s and they feel fine i can still burn them too not allot but enough for a quick chirp
i do remember the stock ones being crazy light roasted the old tires for like a half a block easy
why not steelies with beauty rings
I'm not a steelie fan sadly.
>.> plus I really like these, Always reminds me of the muscle look, but more subtle look.

I recommend 15." That is due to no other reason besides the fact that it is getting harder to find a decent selection of 14" tires at most tire stores - at least around here.
Alright so it seems 15" is the verdict.

plus on 15s you can get some 205/50/15 tires...if anything from going from 14s to 15s i felt more grip on corners and a bit harder to take off but at high speeds it felt stable

That's what I was thinking. haha
I'd go 15" just for the added tyre selection you'll get.

Get some 15" :)
I just think anything smaller looks kinda weird.
