so wifey wants to get me some wheels for father's day. i'm thinking i like the voxx monza's in black. what do you guys think as far as size? should i go with 16s or 17s?

pros and cons? other wheels perhaps?

I like em and I'd say 16s, more tire.

16's fill the neon wheel well perfectly.

help me out on this on.

the well will stay the same ... it's either more rim or more tire .. right ?
the total size will remain the same right ?
or am i wrong ??

You are right, the wheel size has nothing to do with filling the wheel opening. It's about overall tire size.

do 16s bro

Not in my opinion.

You don't want rubberband with your 17's. They will look too big.

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Sun May 23, 2010 10:12 pm

yep, don't want the rubberbands, popped a tire on a pothole once.

well car is in the shop right now, as soon as its done, ill have the wifey go get em

thanks everybody

that was Diablo that had said that though.

although, my mind was pretty much made up... just wanted to see what people would say about them

lilnicko11 · Post by **lilnicko11** » Tue May 25, 2010 9:10 am

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Tue May 25, 2010 11:00 am

A lot of people run those rims around here, since they are always a special at DTD.

Forest Green 2k · Post by **Forest Green 2k** » Tue May 25, 2010 11:27 am

15's or 16's

dblsg · Post by **dblsg** » Tue May 25, 2010 12:03 pm

^^ is that good or bad?

acr · Post by **acr** » Tue May 25, 2010 12:43 pm

18's for sure

esfan · Post by **esfan** » Tue May 25, 2010 1:11 pm

I'd say no more than 17' otherwise looks weird on Neons.

Well if I had the money to ditch my 14 steelies, I'd def get some 15 inch wheels so I wouldn't get any slower. I'd love some rota slips right about now

Post by **occasional demons** » Wed May 26, 2010 9:29 pm

Larger wheels won't make you slower. Only heavy larger wheels.

But lightweight wheels come at a premium, and depending on structure, maybe less likely to take a hit.

I have 205/50-16's and it didn't make a big difference from the 185/65-14's with steelies. The wheels are not light by any means.

195/60-14's will boost your pick up a little tho.
But, the 16's ride way nicer than the 14's. It was a plus I did not expect.

I have also hit some nasty potholes with the 16's, and have not had any problems. I like the tire size in 16 better than 15 also. The 205/50 is a perfect fit with a small drop.

esfan · Post by **esfan** » Wed May 26, 2010 11:23 pm

I guess it's the lightest wheel ever made. Full carbon fiber.

I think most 16's and 15's are likely to weight about 15-20lbs each. But some light wheel (if not good brand name) may have the hazard to be bent. It all depends on both the price and the personal taste. I don't think I'll get some wheels that the price is more than 1/2 of the KBB car price of the car though.
