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

 

i would get 205/45/16s....try ordering them from a site like www.machiii.net or the GBC...they were on the GBC for $470 shipped but thats w/ no tires..im sure they have a special price w/ tires so check it out

 

anybody else got an opinion for me? thanks

 

15's are good

 

dont really want 15's...what would be a good size for the 16's though? also, does anybody know how much the battle wheels weigh and if anybody has pics of either of the rims on cars, plz post them!!

 

does it make a big difference if u use 15 instead of 16 ?

 

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.

 

werd...the 15" Circuit 8's are 11.8 pounds. I got the kumho ecsta 712's in 205/50/15 and the tires actually weigh more than the rim itself. The whole package was 32 pounds per rim/tire.

 

you asked for help noob so i answered you...but never again.
