Yeah, stick with 17s. I almost wish I would've downsized to 17s sometimes. As for me and being BALLA I think everyone here knows I'm not. I'd have to do some serious digging for the link, but somewhere I bash someone outside of the Ohio section when it comes to wheels. Something like, "...you are not baller because you don't have OZ racing rims like me, so GTFO" I forgot the magenta font, and the fact that it wasn't in the Ohio section...it was funny though!

18" tires will cost a lil more
oh and width (6.5",7",7.5",8",8.5",9" etc) and offset (+48, +45, +42, +40 etc) of the wheels is more important on the 3 than the height (16",17",18",19" etc) of the wheels
example a 17x8 +40 wheel with a 205/50/17 tire and an 18x8 +48 with a 225/40/17 tire are both going to very close to the same height, circumference etc etc, only difference is the 17" wheel will stick out 8mm closer to the fender making it likely to have to roll fenders
hope you understood that, if not i can break it down a little better

Ya, I get it. Just don't know what combinations will work without a problem. I am curious though, what are these 18" wheels you speak of?
But you got OZ's, you must be BALLER. lol
the 18's were the ones on shawn's 3 at phens cookout (my old silver wheels with a polished lip ill find a few pics)
i didnt have problems rolling the icw's at stock height, it wasnt til i lowered the car that i had to roll the rear fenders but even that is pretty easy haha
heres a pic at stock height with the wheels
and then lowered

If you buy a set of 3-4k Rays/Work/etc.... They better come with a reach around. That's more like the 20" Chrome rims.... ridin' spinnaz dawg!
Listen Mingy, it was to prove a point, not be taken literally haha

I'm temped to fix it and flip it, but I don't know that it would be worth it. I looked on CL and there are other 5's in my area going for between 3-3800$, so it's not like I could undercut them by much and still pay for the parts. I could fix that stuff myself, but the tires will probably be the most.
With all this wheel talk, it just reminded me how much I'd like to get a set of Bisimoto Fighter Specials for the Miata. Or the Future Miata, I should say. It'd seriously cost me more for the wheels than what I paid for the car, and without tires.. Time to look for used on the Honda forums..

the engine doesnt burn oil... and the body is in good shape for all the snow and salt it has seen. the interior is well kept too. tires are the tough thing. the brakes are still good, it is that they could use new pads and rotors.... same from when i bought it 70K miles ago. lol.
Bisimoto is the s*** man lol! Those wheels are amazing on Miatas. Too bad they're 1300 a set new lol.

For some reason, I've always wanted a Wagovan!! Especially the Bisimoto one LOL
I was kinda thinkin that too, they gor for around 5-6 here. Or have my fiance drive that and get rid of her pos focus but she wants a small SUV.
for some reason the pic of the wheels even provided a link too is so big it cuts off the wheels and won't let me scroll down. Edit, just googled them, I like the old civic wagon and the wheels
I'm on day 3 of being sick and this sucks, but on a positive I got a part-time job but it'll mean working weekends alot.

morning, thanks, not sure how i made it throught my interveiw yesterday with out a sneeze or anything. Now I just need to remind myself that the money is for saving up towards a house and a wedding, not for modding
My best friend is very big into Honda, so I got into it a lot. In the future, I really want to swap an F20C (from the S2000) into a Miata and call it a day lol.
Bisimoto is probably one of the best out there imo. He actually built one of the new CR-Z's to like 500+ hp, while still retaining the hybrid part.
