today i ran into an old buddy with his civic and he had white Eagle Alloy rims on it and i probably could get the wheel and tire package for around $200 USD. i was just wondering of anyone heard of that brand or if anyone knows if that seems like a good deal
Isn't that a pepboyz or sears brand?
200 if the tires are over 70% is a good deal if you like the rims. Did you say what size, brand tires?
no im not sure what brand the tires were, but i actually think im going to just buy all new and go with the Konig Bump in Matte Black with the red strip... right now im not really sure what size. im debating on 15 or 16s.
*i know the pic show a 5 lug but i know i need a 4. just a reference pic.
those are nice w ur black ave
Those look almost like TSW Trackstar4
I'm not 100% if they will fit, But i'd be willing to gamble on the Konig Swurves

ok so im looking at these rims and there 16's with a 205/50/16 tire on them and im just wondering would they rub on hard turns without wheel spacers. i've asked about wheel spacers at a couple places and they've said to stay away from them. any suggestions.
a 50 series tire on a 16 is too big (might fit at stock height?) spacers or not, i would say 40 is best, 45 at most.
offset, what is it?on a 7 inch rim, anything from 38-45 should be ok, but the caliper clearance is a different story (thats wheel design fitment, not just offset)
im afraid to go any smaller on the sidewall due to the Northeastern Ohio roads. (filled with potholes and just ***) i took a look at the profile of the tire and i talked to a rep from NTB store where i live and he said it would be the best for the roads im driving. Isn't Omj running konig 16's what size is his tire.
a 195/50r15 is @ the same as stock in diameter, a 205/50r16 is 1 1/2" too large, and is a 1/10" larger than the 18" wheel/tire that people are running around with. you should try a 215/40r16 it will have more sidewall that a 205/40r16 and still be in range, but you might rub because of the width.
you cant get bigger rims and keep the same sidewall. however lower profile tires have better reinforced sidewalls than the cheap oem tires that come on the aveo.
well thats on later models. . . right now i run stocks rims that are 14" i think the tire is 195/55r14
the wheel well is the same size, but your car should have been 185/60r14 factory. the change to 195/55r14 is wider with the same diameter.
ok performance wise would you recommend going with a smaller rim like a 15 instead of the 16. i think the weight difference is like a pound or two difference. i think there like 16 or 17 lbs a tire.
i autocrossed with a 16, and a 205/40r16 tire, with the pressure set, it performed terrific. I daily run a 195/45r15 tire, and with the same pressure checks it holds up as well as the car can handle.
The sidewall is a sort of compromise, you dont really want sidewall deflection in turns, but you need enough that the tire stays "flat" to the ground. so in aspects of tire performance, your talking a difference of more or less a 1/2" of sidewall between the two choices your looking at. I dont think you will feel a difference unless you really push the car hard. And as far as pot holes etc go, if you put the tires to the proper pressures and they both have reinforced sidewalls reflective of the size, there should not be a problem if you accidentally hit a pot hole.. my tires are small in comparison, and i've hit several potholes without any problems. If your really worried, buy a run flat tire, they deflect the least of all the tires, but are more money.
