It's just easier to ask here:



Just my 5-lugs, shopping for rims online...what are the lug dimension?

And if you're feeling informative, what are some decent rims that aren't pricey?

or should I just go for the sleeper and get the stock 5-lug rims? it's not like my car is pretty or anything. It might look weird with nice rims and cruddy paint job. Did I just answer my own question?

i think so! i'm running painted stock wheels on my 20b, it looks good enough

go with the 91 5 lug 5 stars if you can find some... I love the way they look for stockers.



your bolt pattern is 5x114.3 or 4.5 if that is what you needed

cool...thanks for the info...



painted stock wheels? what color, and how does that look?

ahhh get aftermarket rims. those stock ones are heavy as hell

What do you suggest? I'll be using them for daily driving, in a spirited manner. No racing or auto-x in my near future.

Enkei RS5s are my new inexpensive favorite.

What's the cheapest place online?

www.whalentire.com is the best I've found. I'm getting 17x7 RS5s with tires for $950 shipped...and you could too.

How much of a noticeable difference will there be with a larger rim? Say, 16" or 17" instead of 15".

difference in accelaration, that is

It all depends on the overall diameter and the weight of the wheel/tire combo. You could have stock a 185/70/14 tire and get a 17" package with 205/40/17 tires and your overall gearing would not change. But, that 17" wheel tire combo is likely a lot heavier than the 14" combo so you have less acceleration and longer braking distance ( your stock brakes have to work harder to slow down that heavy rotating mass). There are plenty of good 16's and 17's out now that are under 15 lbs. each which is really good. Most are expensive.



I'm not sure what those Enkei's from Unique weigh but that looks like a good deal.

umm if your interested I have a set of 88 GTU wheels im getting rid of. They are in excelent shape and have newer tires.

Those stock 5 spoke wheels are pretty light. So are the S5 GTU wheels (UFO), about 9-13lbs without tires IMO.
