Wheels opinion needed! (yes another one)

[justintodd]

Hey guys, so im getting paid here in a couple days, so its time for me to finaly get some new wheels! woohoo. Looking at a couple ads on craiglist, let me know what you guys think. Also, should i try going for a 205/40, 205/45, 215/40, or a 215/45. Pros and cons? help greatly appreciated, thanks:

option 1

option 2
http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/756348780.html

option 3
http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/754769210.html

option 4
http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/711350888.html

I really like option 4, but would have to call about tire tread etc. I also like option 1, 2 tires are brand new on that one. option 2, 2 of the tires have pretty low tread...so idk about that. Option 3 is looking good too. decent tread on those, but either way im going to try talking any of the 4 down to a lower price (its craigslist for goodness sake). let me know what you guys think!!!

get the first ones, cornbread had the last ones and you should have a siver or black car if you get those.

Hmm well mines blue, maybe i just liked those so much cus they are just so damn flashy. maybe to flashy for an elantra haha. option one is standing out to me a little more...just because of the new tires. any other opinions?

1 or 2 if i had to choose.

the konigs both look like junk.

Wheels should accentuate, not dominate. Blend/Complete a look, not be the look.

1 if I had to pick.

There are already 3-4 Elantras with those last wheels.

#2 has mismatched tires, 3 Kumho ASX and one Continental Contiextreme contact. Anyone dumbenough to mismatch performance oriented tires probably beat the crap outta the rims and car.

205/40 is too small. You'll lose fuel mileage and the speedo will be off in the wrong direction, causing the engine to spin faster to keep up with traffic.

The 3rd one is running Kumho Ecsta 711's, a discontinued tire. So, if you pop one on a pothole you'll have to buy a minimum of 2 tires to have a matching pair. Otherwise, see above.

#4 screams ghetto (no offense) and I can't stand them.

So I guess that leaves #1 as the only choice.

Are the ones in the 4th option the rims with 8 lug holes 1 set being 4X100 and the other set being 4X114.3? Cause if not they won't fit on your car since the Integra has 4X100.

All very good points. Ok, gues ill cantact option one and see what theyre wrapped in. Ill post the first pictures of my elantra once i get the rims... and replace my tailight :D. Thanks guys

205/40/17 and 215/4017 are undersized.

205/45/17 is the closest to oem

215/45/17 looks the best, is just a tinny bit bigger, this is what i have and rides great but some say it may rub if your lowered, i got my rear camber set to -1.1 on a 1.2 inch drop and has never rubbed but your speedometer will be off by 1 mph.

^Whatever, they both work.

I say 1 or 4. Mine are similar to 4 and I don't think they dominate my car by any means. Go for what you like man.

[justintodd]

Today i just found a new ad on there, some 17 konigs with brand new all season tires for 500....However im not sure if they will fit my gt, what do you guys think?

[BobMs_wht2k2]

Looks like it might be a 5-lug V6 accord. The 4cyl accord might fit, but will likely be a 38mm offset. Add the 39mm offset and the 215/45 tires, you WILL rub.

[cobase]

Do they even make universal 4-lug, 5-lug, 4x100, 4x114.3, 5x? rims? I don't think so. That's too many damn holes. He must mean universal 5-lug, maybe.

I'd go with option 1 or 2 also. 3 and 4 are too flashy/complex for my tastes.
They're all going to be a pain to clean :)

[bdiggy]

Yeah man. The last one is a 5 lug rim. Ain't going to work.
