Wheels!

Post by Lovedoctor » Mon Mar 18, 2013 9:30 pm

Wife and I have just taken delivery of a mint low mile 58 Civic 2.2 cdti :D . Lovely car and we hope it will do better than the Mazda crap we had previously!!! It also has mint 17' Pentas I might try and swipe..... :x :lol:

Anyway. Been on another Forum. A user is selling mint 16' Civic 5 spokes with a claimed 7mm Bridgestone tyres all round. I am keen on these for the Prelude - my Motegi wheels are totally shot and 3 are dropping air, 1 big time. A mate of mine is doing a web design for a alloy wheel refurb co. He has said he will get my wheels done as payment but he has yet to complete the site and I've been waiting a while. I'm growing impatient constantly pumping the tyres up and don't want to spend 200 sheets for something I can get for nowt! Also thinking that once the Motegis are refurbed and back on it is a set I could put winter tyres on for either car :roll:

What are people's thoughts? The tyres are 205/55/16. Will they look silly small compared to the 17's and will they fit?

Get 'em. Nice comfy ride and as you say, good enough for winter tyres. Your car probably had 16s on to start with.
