I can’t tell if rally type wheels look dumb or not. Make my decisions for me, Oppo hive mind. These would be 19" (match existing) , but I should probably also consider 18" wheels so I can find some damn tires for my car.

You are not a part of the hive mind. You are a hive dingleberry on the hive ass. They do look kind of dumb but I still wants them.

Nope. Those pretty much only work on hatchbacks.

But you should definitely consider going to 18" no matter what you choose. 19" sucks for tires. My wife’s Audi is mostly vanilla, but has S4 19" wheels. Those ball ers suck to wrap rubber on.

I don’t mind them. It would look better imo if they were painted matte white.

I’d go for a grey or gold 5 or 6 spoke wheel.

If they kind of work on a Civic, they should work on a 6. Though I’d go an inch smaller, sidewall helps.

in that case, great choice, looks perfect on that car.

You can even go down to 16 inches! Much cheaper tires, more selection, better ride now that you’ll have a real sidewall

If you want the rally look, blue cars go good with gold wheels. The Motegi MR139 gold wheel might look good on your 6.

However, regular silver wheels are ok too. In that case, consider the Radius W102. They are made in Italy and at a reasonable price.

See now I’m looking at RPF1's in 18" so I can get some realistic tire options.

Party-vi > Highlander-Datsuns are Forever
09/17/2018 at 14:28

This is some solid advice

09/17/2018 at 14:33

I think Rpf1's would look better here

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no. Looks don’t work and they’re 25 lbs each .

From Tire Rack, you could do the Advanti DST Hybris for $275 each . They’re flow formed, weigh 20 lbs each, and look like this:

(I have a different style of Advanti DST wheels on my 335xi. I’ve been happy with them and they get lots of compliments.)

Kinja'd!!!

The same basic style is available from Discount Tire Direct as the Drag DR-67 for $165 each but they’re probably not flow formed like the Advantis and I don’t know how much they weigh. Generally the Drag knockoffs at Discount Tire are pretty good for what they are . I had their Enkei GTC-01 knockoffs (DR-38) on my old M S6.

The RPF1 in gold would look nice on your car. Available in both 18 and 17 inch. Both will give you good tire options.

The smaller wheels with high-profile tires will give you a real sidewall and a better ride. Both 225/55-17 and 225/50-18 have lots of tires to choose from, but the 17-in size is better in that regard.

Now the concern is the difference in tire size on my speedo and mileage. Currently i’m pushing 26.97" OD, but 18" wheels with 225/50R18 tires will put my OD at 26.86".

dogisbadob > Party-vi
09/17/2018 at 15:23

The difference is negligible, if that.

Even if your car makes it to 200k, the mileage difference isn’t even 1000 miles. MAYBE a month’s worth of driving over 20+ years

It will not be a problem at all.

Party-vi > dogisbadob

Looks like I’d be off by less than 0.5MPH generally, and I’d be missing out on 102 miles a year off the odometer. This helps to put things into perspective.
