ok so going by that, i usually get around on 18's on my EK9. But I also got a set of 'ok lookin' 16'' chromies and i am heading for the track a few times this year i hope. So would it be better to swap for some VTi-R wheels or keep the 16's and whack on some good rubber? or trade the 16''s in and get some aftermarket lightwieght 15''s??
track?? as in drag or curcuit racing? 15's is the optimal size but if you drag then that changes everything
sorry my bad, track as in wakefield.....
buddyclub p1's and volk ce28's are considered as lightweight wheels... they will be better than ur stock civic rims...
smaller the wheel, the quicker the acceleration... this is better for track...
the bigger rims will have higher top end, i.e. u will be travelling faster at higher speeds... but not good for acceleration...
I thought the whole idea of lower profile rubber was to make the overall diameter of the wheel the same. Therefore, the size of RIM would not matter.... :shock:
I spose there is still slight difference in overall wheel size with bigger rims.
But theoretically, if the overall size is the same, wouldn't the accelleration be the same? Apart from weight difference of course
yes the weight matters....
The whole idea of lower profile is for stiffer sidewalls...
Yup......which translates to less tyre flex when cornering.Quote:

do you guys think 16x7 4x100 CE28N Volk Racing Rims for $2300 (no tyres) is worth it?
price is ok i guess
what about lightweight lug nuts..
why do companies advertise them being like 200% lighter then stock.. when rotating do these become a bigger force? or is it just crap..
lightweight lug nuts is pretty much wank factor. the difference is negligible.
