ya man, it's not the WHEELS, it's the TIRES that are the problem ;)

summer tires are what they are. SUMMER tires ;)

02 Si wheels for $100 w/ tires sounds like a deal to me, go for it.

lol kumho escta are badass in the snow... the only time I have ever curbed a car in my entire life was on those tires. Those tires are only good for doing burnouts, theres a reason why they come standard on Kia's ;)

The rims are not your problem, even though there ugly. It must be the tires. IF anything the tires on it should be wider than stock rims and get better traction. Lil stock tires and rims will give you less traction fool.

in the winter it would be better to get narrower tires. smaller contact patch = more downforce per square inch. :)

A all half worn all season tire would get you more traction than those.

I have Kumho's in the WRX, I like them, but then again, I have no snow in florida, and the rain is fun with AWD ;)


Funny story, one time with my old civic, I was looking to get some 17" tires and saw an add on the paper for some used tires, 6 17's for $50. So I call it was an old guy. I asked them what type of tires and what size they where.

He told me there where some "Cum-Hoes", well he pronounced it that way, then he asked me why I was laughing. :8 ;D
