it bothers me that on my stock sawblades one side of the car has the blades turning clockwise and the other side has them turning counterclockwise. it woudlnt be hard to make rims/alloys just for the right or left side.

I do the winter swap - take off the 5th gen 17's and put on the sawblades w/ snow tires for a couple of months.

I'm running 15" Sport Editions with summer tires. The original honeycombs have snows on them.

That's what I've got, the E3's in black. They don't look half bad on a dropped car, but stock height...

Sport Edition E3's are really slick. My lady got a set of 15's w/ Kumho MX's from the 'Rack for her Integra . Looks great and made a huge improvement over her steel 14's -- the Integra drives and feels like a midsize.

Speaking of Kumhos, I decided to try out a set of 225/60's on my 15" alloys because they are wider than the 215/60's I usually run. They are also taller, so I'm a tad slower off-the-line, but the advantages of the extra rubber offsets it.

Specifically, I got Kumho Solus KR21's, and boy are they quiet and comfortable on the highway. Every other week, I travel back & forth between Jax and Orlando (about 300mi), and I'm glad I got these.

By comparison, doing the Jax-Orlando trip in my lady's Integra wears me out.

I highly recommend them if you do a lot of boulevarding, and you value ride, comfort, and wear over aggressive looks and grip. Even so, their dry handling is excellent, and darn good on wet roads, too.

I'm glad that I don't have to deal with snow.

BTW, I checked TireRack to see if they had 225/55/15 tires, and they did...except there were only three listed and meant exclusively for racing, starting at like $200 a tire.

Too bad 'cause the lower aspect ratio would have been nice.

Anthracite, yes?

Here's one of my lady's SP/MX combos on her Integra. The local Acura mechanic was so impressed when he saw them, he ordered a set for his.
