I prefer the H-125s to the H-129s.

Or you could go in for the Leagues if you like. I believe they're more easily available. Ask Ishan. Maybe he has a 'friend' who has some designs in stock.

hey harmon~
i got 205/50 R-15s on my SFXi. never experienced any problems. Ride quality has gone down somewhat, but handling/grip has greatly improved.

Just for my knowlege, why would the wheel well clearance differ from an SFXi & a 'lesser' (say GLXi) variant? The SFXi only has cosmetic mods, not a factory lowered suspension system.

Elf your right no difference at all. Kpzen was just thinking that since the OE tyres are different so he was trying to maintain the same OD.

Hi Harmon

My take on this.......the 125 (solid spoke) easier to clean than 129 (twin spoke design), the design gamerno1 has suggested looks good (more filled up) as the # 125 may look a little sparse........your call. It's best to have the 2 or 3 shortlisted designs placed against the car with tyres mounted on them & then deciede..

Cheers

Ricky's right. A solid spoke design would always be easier to clean & keep good looking, than something more intricate with various nooks & crannies that look good in the showroom, but end up looking crappy after 10 days on the road.

I presume you're talking about the M6 replica rims (the only pics available on that thread). Nice, but try to get them in all silver if possible. Also don't know how the proportions would work out on a 15" wheel.

The general rule of thumb is that the larger the wheel, the better a design looks on it.

Well! I need to try one with the tires on the car and then decide. Am also looking at NX from Lenso. Tell me what you think of that that.

Correct Elf, had seen the M6 replica rims in 15" and they don't look too impressive in that size. 17" is better but I guess Harmon will have to decide how they look on his car.

M6 Rims are out, i tyre dealer has confirmed the same

Why dont you look at black finished alloys, since yours is a black car, it will suit you more or even white alloys will look awesome on a black car.

OT From another thread.
