Are these 14"? What brand are they? I'm sure your spinning a lot when rev high and change the gear right?
Sorry saying how I feel but I don't like them at all because they are tooooo small :(
 
Those were 15inch sw388, with advan neova ad07 195 55 rubber. and i don't think there's any 14inch can fit on ek9 5lug. though i never seen any 14inch alloy with 5hole? :shocked:

It must be the 195/55 that confused me lol. They are still very light!! I've seen 13" Volk Rays TE37 the other day on a site! :wow:

thats exactly what my friends comments!
 
i agree the 55 tire is too tall, it makes the wheel look small, any reason you didnt choose 205/50/15 or 195/50/15? aside from that it still looks great :nice:

bcoz of the oem spec is 15inch with 55, so the wheel with tires diameter won't affect the speedo accuracy, also i want it to fill the arch. This model of wheel also known to be fragile as malaysia road are fill with pot hole (trap). those japs also use this type of setting. Anyway thanks for yours comments.. cheers guys:)
 
i use 195/45/r15 on mine an i live in ireland the place is full of pot holes....there is plenty of protection even in a 45 tire for a 15" wheel
 
beautiful wheels! congratulations!! :bow:
 
Isn't 195/55 15 the stock ek9 tire size? I know thats the stock size for a USDM civic Si. The sidewall on a 195/55 is fairly tall, 205/50 is a little better.
Nice wheels though sky26!
