    That's the problem, usual sizes for this car is either 6 inch or max 6,5 inch. 7 inch is indeed a bit too wide

    Ok so just a small update. Gas. I thought I was going to waste more fuel. Im around 48 mpgs right now. granted I was getting closer to 51 on the stock rims. I know these being so wide was the biggest downfall but I dont mind the less body roll it has now.

    Ok sooo lol. Once i installed my h and r springs my wheels did rub like crazy. I went back to my stock wheels. Has anyone tried hx rims? They are lightweight honda rims. People have added 195/60/14 on a 5.5 inch wide tire.

    I was looking at the RPF1's in 14x7 and wondering do you think a 14x7 with a 19mm offset will stick out or will a 28mm be a better fit. I've been on the calculators and measured how much room I get, but I can't seem to decide I want something a lil more aggressive or flush, thanks.

    wheels in question lol

    Those look sick, I'd say go for it! I want a set of RPF1's for my car, the weight savings are amazing and they look great. Don't sweat making it look flush with bigger rims, that will just cost you power and fuel economy. Stick with a nice small rim and then get a bit of a drop going with springs or something. That will be a win all around because you'll knock out the body roll, make the steering more responsive, keep great fuel economy, and make the car look slick too.
