Ok, so I've got an opportunity right now to ditch the 17x7 Speedy Lite 6's and get some (currently gold but would prolly paint) Rota Grid's 15x6.5. Looking for some opinions...what do you guys think?

*Edit: these wheels but in all gold...(no polished lip)

 

I believe speedy and rota are made in the same place, just different labels...both are knock-offs and I ahd speedy and was commented on "Nice rotas" on many occasions...

 

i like the grids

 

is there any benefit other than a little softer ride to going with a 15 instead of the current 17's?

 

Not really unless you start caring about unsprung weight

 

I might take those 17's off your hands if you buy the rota's

 

well I have been considering trying my luck (or at least learning) with some auto-x next spring. would they be beneficial in that case?

 

If they weigh less than the 17s - definitly...but if you'relooking autocross, pick up some decent tires too....I believe discount tire direct has a nice discount on azenis this month....or I could be wrong...

 

well my one friend up in michigan he says he runs 17s on his 200*. civic for autocross. i was suprised... but he said they are beter for cornering... but when i get some rims for the 94 im gona go for some 15 or 16s lighter rims..... performance will be alittle beter with lighter weighted rims...

 

The tires on them right now are toyo proxies ~70% tread. Not sure on the weight tho...I just took the 17's off I should toss one on the scale I suppose
