need help ASAP!!! rims/tires!!
got some questions for u guys:
i am plannin on buyin either 16" rota circuit 8's or rota battles, does anyone know how much the battle rims weigh in at?
secondly, which tire size would be best for these rims? i am not loaded, so spendin like more than 300-350 is outta the question. and i also live in buffalo, ny so our winters are usually kinda rough and our roads are exactly the greatest lol. i dont want huge tires, some nice low pro's, but they need to be big enough to protect the rim from gettin bent/damaged. so with that said, what do u think would be best? thanks for the help

yes i chose 15's and a slightly shorter tire so the tire and rim sit slightly shorter than stock... SO the car has better go off the line , and then there is the obvious.. they are lighter, tires are cheaper.. so yeah 15's imho are much better

Well, the decision is up to you. You said already that you are tight on budget. 15 inch rims and 15 inch tires are your best bet. There's nothing wrong with 15's as they perform just as well as 16's. 16's will definately be a bit more expensive in both wheels and tires.
15's will be lighter in weight and on your wallet. Mate the Rota wheels with 205/50/15 tires and you got an excellent performing wheel/tire combo.
