Ok
I am about to order a set of rims and tires. I am going through a local shop. I narrowed it down to a set of Konig Oxygenes 16". They told me they would put on Toyas and include the lugs ( I hope locks too). What do you guys/ girls think of the Oxygenes? I have a green EX 2dr and I am going to order the Gunmetal color. Are Konigs a good brand? What tire size do you reccomend? Tirerack.com suggests 205/45/16, but I was thinking maybe 215/40?/16. Please keep in mind this is a daily commuter. I am going this weekend. Are there any questions that I should be asking??? Thanks for all of your help and opinions.

Oh, they said they would give me the pkg for $900. Is that good?

 

YOu don't want 215/40x16" unless you like going 70mph at 4500rpms I ran this size for a year since it was wider, but gearing is messed up. You want a 205/45x16" tire if you own a Civic, Integra, Del Sol or CRX.

Konig is a good company that makes cast wheels like 95% of the other wheel companies. Looks are you opinion just go with them if you like them.

 

I run 215/40-17" with 17x8 wheels. The car runs like it's on rails. One thing you have to worry about running the 215's is that if you lower your car, you'll have to also roll your fenders (or it will scrub, specially in the back). I had to roll my fenders since I have the H&R "Sport" springs (lowered 1.5-1.75" all around). But I tell you, with the lowering and rolling the fenders, the 215's are definitely worth it.

 

I like Konig, I have have them on my car. $900 is a little much but I guess it is fair.
