Tire/Rim Sizes?
#5
I have been doing research on rims and tires recently, and I decided to purchase a set of 16"x6.5" Kosei K4R rims [$159 (each)] with 205/50-16 Yokohama AVID ENVigor (H&V) tires [$103.00 (each)]
For the rims, each of them is only 12.8lb in weight, which is much lighter than the 16" OEM rims (~19lb). Plus, they are manufactured in Japan! Another set of rims, Enkei Racing RPF1, are also recommended. They are even lighter (9.5lb), and they are pretty common on streets.
For the tires, TireRack.com recommended the size of 185/55-16, but there are so few choices of this size and none of them have good ratings, so I decide to use the size of 205/50-16.
Hope this helps.

I did not pick 6.5", it just happened that the rim was 16"x6.5".
