alright, so right now i have a 00 ex with hubcaps, if i get si rims with 205/50/15 tires, will i notice a big difference in accel/speed, or would i be better off going with 195/55/15? thanks

If you get si rims with 205/50/15 tires, I don't know about gaining accel/speed with it but you will notice a difference in handling, ie cornering, burns, and what not. Since 00 ex blackies w/ hubcaps has a width of 185 (correct me if im wrong) you will feel a big difference in the way the car feels as the 205 tire is wider, hence having more contact with the floor. I'd say go for it and get the si's. I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

you won't notice much of a difference between 195/55 and 205/50 other than asthetics.
the 205/50 will stick out a little from the rim... good for rim protection.
205/50 is also more expensive
195/55
205/50
btw, there's a change in my drop, the tire didn't fill out any gap....
