Default 15" inches

Im wanting to get some new rims. Im thinking about some 15 inch rims, or maybe 16.
How many of you have 15" rims? Im wanting to have a little bit of style going on, and comfortable. I dont want to have to always worry about blowing out a low profile tire.

Also, where are some good sites with alot of tuner rims (15"-16") Ive been looking at places, but they all have is 17 and up.

Keep your wheels as light as possible and you will either gain speed or at least not lose acceleration because of big, heavy wheels. I've heard that the 14-inch steelies weigh 14 lbs, so stick with that weight or less and you will enjoy your new wheels. Here's a good web site to browse:

They're just 5 spokes.


Wheels-- 15x6.5
Tires--195/50/15

would they fit alright?

I believe 195/50/15 tires are a bit smaller that ideal, but they would fit. There will be a bit more fender gap than the stockers. 205/50/15s would be a better fit and 195/55/15s would also work, since that's the size that is typically recommended for 6.5-inch wide wheels.

If you know the model name of your Rotas, you might be able to find the weight here:

http://www.jaydm.com/wheels.htm

Just click on the wheel name on the right of the screen and then click on "Wheel info" at the top of the next screen. The weight is each size is listed there. Most 15-inch Rotas are 12 lbs or so. The 16-inch Slipstreams are a very low 13.5 lbs, but most 16-inchers are 14.5-16 lbs each.
