two things to consider


1) 13's dont fit on all our cars,

2) some of us are making "real power" and need a slighly heavier wheel to help with wheelspin/ traction control.

Im mentioning 13's and 17's just because you'll notice the biggest difference between the two rims. even 15's and 17's youll notice the difference.

yes we all make real power but small lil parasitic ***** like increased rotational inertia is something that many of us would like to get rid of or at least know about.

I know your not talking about hondas cause the cx or vx from 94 comes with them.



btw

I own azenis I've been able to cut a 2.2 with 150k susp. With my walmart GT tires I can cut a 2.4 mostly 2.5's

Ok, well im using Rota 15 circuit 8s, and 205-5015 Falken tires, somehow i forgot which series? AH Ze-512s! Ive used Azenis, and they were good tires, but driving in the rain sucked, and they also wore down fast. Cost me a lot of money since my inspection was due. Its not even that they wear down a lot, they just look like they do, the inspection place doesnt even consider passing them! hahah

nitto 450's handle great, very good in the rain, wear very slow, not too expensive. i've had kumho's, azenis's, and nitto's, out of those 3, the nitto's are my favorite.

I'm currently on kumho 712's. they are great in wet weather but thats about it. oh yah.. they are DIRT cheap too.. maybe thats why they aren't too good

Ask AbaZ about them (LMAO). for most people's needs they get the job done.
