Rims, Weight vs. Preference

**deevergote** · 06-08-2004, 09:21 PM

I've been looking into wheel weights... Right now I have steelies on both of my Accords. I plan on getting some 16" Rota Subzeros (bronze, 14.5lbs) for my 92 Accord sedan (Phantom Gray), and some 15" (maybe) Konig Heliums (also bronze, perhaps... 11.25lbs) for my 86 LXi hatchback (currently blue, may be painted flat black eventually... I don't even have the car yet!)

Looks are important, but so is function. I'm still trying to make sense of the wheel weight to tire weight relationship... Larger wheels are heavier, but require smaller tires (though those low profile tires can be heavy). Smaller, lighter wheels require more tire mass. I want to find a happy medium. 15"-16" seems to be best, from what I can tell.

I love the style of the attacks, but I need them in 16x7 and a 45mm offset and to be light weight........ any help guys. Most sites I find the wheels they don't list the offset so I never know if they will work.

This where I would buy Rota Wheels from MachIII oh, and I don't think Attacks come in a 16" here is another site as well Jaydm

www.jaydm.com is where I was planning on getting mine. A buddy of mine bought his C8s from www.machiii.com and he was happy with them. Both have good prices and seem to be reliable.

If they don't list the offset, give them an email! They should know about what they're selling... If they don't, then perhaps you should look elsewhere!
