Default Wheels

OK, nube question about wheels...

The stock size for the EX is 14", I think...

I want to get some ROTA style wheels, but see too many sizes...

I think I want the 15", because of price, and they are close to the stck size..

If I don't plan on showing the car, and only "race" occasionally (a minivan or station wagon here or there ), would a 40 or 45mm offset make a difference?

Would 16" wheels be better for the occasional "race"?

One more thing: Are hubcentric rings a MUST?

Thanks

I would get the 15" Slips,
15 > 16, think about it, the 15 has a smalled radius ect.

I understand the radius, smaller so less power to make it move, but can reach more revolutions, inertia effects, etc...

By the way, what does the 6.5 in 15"X6.5" mean?

Thanks

BUT, the smaller the wheel the lower top speed. h:

The x something is the width of the wheel.

I run a 16x7 slip. I really like them.

I'd be surprised if you can feel the difference between 6.5" and 7".
