has any one seen the OZ F1's? Do you think they would look good on a 1990 Integra (4door). Wrapped in Yokohoma Parada Spec-2's? In the size 215/40R17's.... I think they would.

these?

definatly a nice looking wheel but they are pretty heavy 17x7 = 22.6lbs

but if your looking for 17's i guess you really dont give a fuck about performance anyway

 

[asmallsol]

have you looked at the superleggera's? They only weigh 10.7 lbs per wheel and they do come in a nice dark silver. although i do like the F1's look better but the weight out weighs it.

 

[Prowler]

OZ Chronos are very nice. The 18"s way less than 20lb's.

 

[asmallsol]

but most OZ's suck for civics and small cars like that. They are all to big. For cars like audi's, bmw's and other bigger sports sadans, OZ's are great.

 

[pills_PMD]

over 15 lbs per wheel is heavy.

 

[posol]

over 10 lbs per wheel is heavy

 

[asmallsol]

b, i thought that you were going to do the 5 lug conversion so you dont snap shit under the trq of the LS turbo

 

[posol]

if i snap a lug i will never drive a car again, because the power will simply over whelm me.

you have a better chance of snapping a lug tuning your car stock at 45 mph than i would with made horse y0

 

[chet]

snapping a lug is nearly impossible.

thats the last thing brian needs to worry about.

Should I consider smaller wheels? Like 16's?

 

[chet]

i'd consider 15's. get 15 x 7's with 205-50-15's because that tire/wheel combination will probably yield the best performance while keeping the unsprung weight to a minimum.

what car is this on?

i guess with preludes and bigger vehicles, 16's are ok, but you're increasing the outward mass which ultimately kills horsepower.

 

[chet]

if you can afford a new rsx, then go with volks or another high performance forged wheel...

regamasters, spoon, mugen, etc all make strong, lightweight forged wheels.

otherwise, go with rota's, a cheap alternative that is relatively lightweight.
