Well i plan on running the stock rims that came with my car, the 16 inch, but am not sure how much they weight, but i think they shold do better than my 18's or what do you guys think? and what cheap tires do you guys recommend me to use on the 16inch rims?

And the R18 and SI are so close of the line is not even funny, everytime the SI will start pulling on his 3rd gear on me, but first and second it was almost dead even. |

Agreed. The stock LX sedan with a manual can get a 16.1sec time in the quarter mile @87 or 89mph. I ran 16.3sec with my LX coupe and I was short shifting it at 6300rpm since thats when our cars make max hp. I now know better and will rev it to redline. -But I had 18" TE-37's, HFP suspension, oem Si axle-back and STOCK intake. And when I ran 16.3 I had the oem Si 11.8" front brakes on my car! Each rotor is six pounds heavier! A lot more reciprocating mass there! -Now I expect to run high 15sec with my Fujita CAI, Tein SS coilovers. Though I added weight with the bigger rear and front sway bars. |

For your first time its not to bad. I was just at the tracks the other day. And when the cars had to do dial ins. Most of the 8th gens marked theres as 14.8, 14.7, 14.9 Around there. But none of them got close to it. Like 15.1, 15.7, 15.8. Our cars have potential to get up there but its just practice and good shifting and most important take off.
