Have not used them yet, just picked them up last night.
R compound track tire.
Ive been told that they are good wet condition tires. I will report back after this Saturdays track session.
 
Wheels installed :D
Looks a lot better than I thought they would look.

They look proper on it really. The newer wheels are just to modern for these older civics. "...you know when the car is old when!"

Regarding 55?
205/50/15 RA1
15x7 +43

The lighter weight wheels are much nicer over the OEM[acura wheels] setup.
And the tires are very responsive [lighter as well over RE11s]. I will need to adjust my turn ins to be a tad less aggressive as they bite on turn in...I like them! Will make a great track setup for sure.

A few pics from yesterdays track day at Thunderhill Raceway, very cold and extremely windy making it hard to warm up tires...

Watching your vids kills me right now, I look outside and still see all the snow kicking around wishing it was gone so i can get the car out on the track. 1 month to go for me. Gives me enough time to install the ctr cams and new clutch.

Very busy...its all coming along slowly.
The new garage is about 30 minutes further away from home in a town called Tracy, but its much cheaper, larger and has room for the trailer along the side as seen in the picture above. Both the truck and hatch fit inside with the track car. I'm all setup! Could not ask for anything more.

Sorry to hear about the cold weather buddy, its going to be about 60F out here today, sunny and clear!

Good luck with the cam change, personally I would invest as much as I could in a set of very large brake disks & calipers up front over cams. I am approaching the hatchback this way...leaving as much of the engine stock as I can, upping the brake setup & wheels.
