MOTEGI TRACK TOUGE

DeezSi06 · 03-28-2006, 11:20 PM

I really like the way these look.

They list them as drifting rims(rear wheel??).
But yet every site says they will work on the 06 civic?!?!
Im confused..
they weight about 25lbs.
so a little more heavier then the stock wheels.
but they look awsome.
So my question is, would this be a dumb choice for the Si?

4lbs heavier than the Si's stock wheels? I'd say so. Tirerack.com shows them fitting on the Si, but that's at stock ride height. I believe the smallest size they come in is like 17 or 18x8. If you lowered the car, you're probably going to get some rubbing, but don't take that to the bank. Ask Neal at Tire Rack.

17x9, no way they will fit. what offset????

supersly_jones · 05-28-2006, 07:35 PM

Ortiz83 · 05-28-2006, 07:54 PM

emineNce · 05-29-2006, 03:28 AM

yes stupid decision, drifting rims because they are meant for rwd cars
im looking at my motegi racing flyer right now..
the offsets are way off like 18x9 with +12 offset..lol

18x7.5 +45 6 5x4.5 25 lbs.

I really like the look of those rims too, but 25 lbs!? Should look for something lighter especially if you will be going up a size in rim since usually the tires weigh more too.

ciel0man · 06-01-2006, 09:38 PM

ugly ass rims

SpeedDemon · 06-01-2006, 09:41 PM

Why dont you try looking for other model Motegis?

FigiSi06 · 06-02-2006, 12:35 AM

most motegis are heavy. i would probaly look elsewhere if it were me. or get a different wheel.
