this rims I'm thinking about is for my cx hatchback civic since its lightweight for better fuel economy and looks but its not for racing & will cost like $500 for the rims not including tires and shipping but its like 13lbs per rim what you think?

JoePoonani

white only looks good on some colors, what color is your CX?

ajusaf

no not white will be silver sinc emy car is silver is there other rims that are lightweight but light for better fuel economy and also looks good?

JoePoonani

let me ask you I'm using a wheel cal program to compare stock to upgrade rims. not the total says Rev/mi. I take it the lower the # of revs the better it does on gas milage like 869 rev compare to 845?

I'd say go with gold wheels on the silver cx

I like the Rota Attacks:



Found wheels at http://machiii.net/wheels/attack.html

15" version only 12lbs and $500 for the set w/o tires ofcourse

That's kind of a difficult question. If the number of revolutions is done at a constant fuel output rate per cycle, then the answer is yes. However, the fuel output rate is dependent on the amount of torque that is necessary to maintain the vehicle at its speed, with more fuel required for more torque. For the most part, I would say that if your rims are lighter, I would imagine there would be some increase in fuel economy. Worst case would be you breaking even.

Those were one of the wheels I wanted back in 1999, I say go for it
