here is the wheels that i want to fit on my ek


the brand is racing beat


have anyone heard anything about them?
the only thing i know is that the company tunes mazdas.


what tyre size swould i fit ?
are they any good ?:nerv:
 
Man, those wheels are in terrible condition, they need some proper refurbishing :nice:
Also isn't ET32 in a lowered Civic al that, I'd prefer ET40-45.
 
The wheel weights guide (sticky on top of wheel forum) tells me these are made by Racing Hart and weigh 16 pounds each. That is heavy for an aftermarket 15x6.5" wheel. You should really only get them if you just love the look and get a deal on them.

Use either a 195/55/15 or even better, a 205/50/15" tire on these rims.

the prise is very low and when we washed them they looked very good need just a paint and will be brand new again :D

205 / 50 / 15" is a good option :nice:
 
The tire aspect ratio, or the second number which relates to the sidewall height, is a % number of the tread width.

So a 205/50/15 has a sidewall that is 50% of the tread width; the tread width being 205mm and the sidewall being 102.5mm.

A 195/55/15 has a slightly taller sidewall than the 205/50/15, at 107.3mm or 55% of 195.

So with the 205/50/15 you not only get 1 more centimeter of contact patch per tire, but you get a shorter and stiffer sidewall.
 
remember my rb wheels ?
