Looks like from your Avatar that you have an L-type - 195/70/14. You have many more choices than us p-type guys do with the wacky oddball size.

I went on Tire Rack and punched in 195/70/14 and here's what we got:

Those are some good prices at tire rack. I like discounttire.com b/c you pick and order your tires online, set an appointment for installation online, no shipping cost to you. Any problem with the tires and you dealing with the local store with customer service. $70.00 rebate on set of 4 tires by BFGoodrich or Michelin, BUT you have to buy by Sept. 5

might help if you could tell us the current size that you're running, and a pic of your wheels, so we know what you need, and not what will work. Keeping it under a grand should be easy. My 245/60/14s are only about $500 after all said and done

right now i am running 195/70/14

sorry for the lateness of the reply iv been busy with school

If you have an America's Tire or Discount Tire anywhere around you, they have some you can get for as low as just over $50 a piece. But for $70 each, you could get some Pirelli tires that are a 760AB, with a 99,000 mile warranty, plus there's a $40 rebate available with those tires. I'd hurry and snatch those tires up, they should last a good long time

i will have to ask them about the pirellis. but with these tires i want new rims and was wonderin if you guys could look over these rims tell me what you think i would appreciate it.

Oh NO. Those would look like crap. Honestly. I'm 21, I see why you want them, and I sympathize. But those wheels you're looking at belong on a Honda. Only POS cars can get POS wheels. Put on something like these:

http://www.americastire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?bp=4-100*9-100&tc=MBMSEV&c=3&rcz=60441&pc=73110&wd=15&rw=&rc=ILCINT

and go with a 205/65/15, there's some Pirelli's in that size as well that are $89 each with the $40 rebate (the rebate is probably on a set of 4, and would come to $10 off per tire).

Don't look at all the JDM wheels, those kinda things are only good for Hondas, because they look like crap. Don't go with what you think should be on there, go with what will actually look good. Don't rice out an otherwise nice car.

Those are really nice but im not gunna lie im in love with black rims and i know i could just get them painted but that could mean more money.

The funny thing is i saw the xxr 513's on some guys supra on this site otherwise i would never have known about those.

Brilliant suggestion, except those rims aren't nearly the right offset for our cars. In fact, they are more honda wheels, then the rims he posted. The rims he posted, are actually the right offset, for our cars. Why don't you think, and actually know what you're talking about, before you post?

SupraDrew,

Get either of the wheels you posted, they'll look fine and way better on a cs then a Stupid honda.
