Choosing rim help!

[kid2006]

Hi everyone,

I have an 05 non si civic currently on 16" Rota circuit 8 with Yokohama parada tires. The ride seems much stiffer and jerkier than oem steelies, which I am not pleased with. Every little bump is like a torque steer... Not to mention vibration through the steering wheel. God, is this what ppl have to sacrifice just for looks?? lol..

I have decided to sell the rotas and put back on steelies till I can find some better wheels.

How much does 16x7 Rota circuit 8 with 85% tread go for?

I got a guy selling gsr blades with 60% tread for $330, is that good?

I would like 15/16/17 (preferable 16") rims that looks good and performance well.

Anything would help. Thanks.

The most likely reason you had so much vibration is probobly because the rims arn't balanced, or you alignment was off.... also alot of people say thats Rota's are really weak! Alot of rims don't "preform well".... It's usually your tires, but the thicker they are usually means the handle better! - ill say 195/50/16 or somthing along those lines would be good on your civic!
