Title: what wheels to get???
Post by: davehg on July 19, 2004, 10:46:31 AM
im hopefully going to be getting some new wheels for the 3rd gen on thursday but i need some advice. should i get 17" or 18"? also what type looks the best and what size should i run on the front and rear? if you have ant pics of them on a rx it would be great if you could post them.


thanks

dave

If they arent at least 8.5" wide dont bother :)

And check their weight, the stock 16s weigh 15/16lbs - a lot of the honky chrome jobs u see weigh twice that or more - what a waste on a car as dynamic as the FD :(
