mags for lxi?

**geraldmartin** · March 30th, 2003 12:03 PM

ano ba puede/brand and bagay na size 13" for honda96 lxi? puros umido na stock ko.....i just want to stick with oem specs......

thanks........

**ssaloon** · March 30th, 2003 12:20 PM

very limited kasi styles para sa 13" rims eh...

kung gusto mo, upgrade ka nalang to 15"

negligible naman ang difference in ride comfort eh.

maganda OEM ng SiR or sa vtec3 na civic o kaya rota replicas ng mugen rnr, tapos salpak mo ng 195/55/15 na goma, ayouz na.

just my opinion.
cheers! 8)

**geraldmartin** · March 30th, 2003 12:30 PM

limited nga talaga 13"...yun nga problema ko...makakaparehas ko pang owner jeep....

concern ko lang with 15"s is dami ko na read na there's something to do with stress on the engine rotating those wheels thus consume more gas?????? or its negligible???????

pls help on this one...

thanks

i think you can safely go for larger 14-inchers at least, same spec as with the Civic VTi with an almost identical overall tire+wheel diameter. or 15's na same spec with the Civic SiR.

i don't think 14's will affect performance noticeably (siguro a tiny, tiny bit slower acceleration, if any)

**ssaloon** · March 30th, 2003 01:48 PM

negligible lang yan, sir.

tama po si mbt na magkakaroon ng very minute diff in acceleration because of the larger wheel diameter.

**roydok** · March 30th, 2003 03:14 PM

Rota.

**logbook** · March 31st, 2003 12:24 PM

yup, negligible po ang difference sa performance/engine load. you can check with your manual for suggested tire/wheel sizes.

if i'm correct, meron ata sa pintuan sa driver's side (?). ok din po suggestion nila regarding the SiR mags (if you dont like the mags, just get the numbers...swak yun!)

lxi din ang ride ko. 15" rota stage 5 ang linagay ko with 195/55/15 tires. nakakapanibago lang sa umpisa pero ok na ngayon!

**wrecker** · March 31st, 2003 06:37 PM

or use the 14" OEMs ng VTi para walang difference halos... I'm selling mine if you're interested just PM me...

**ssaloon** · March 31st, 2003 06:41 PM

kaso nga lang pag nag upsize ka ng rims, parang ang taas tingnan yung auto (ground clearance & fender gap) kasi iba yung springs ng lxi vs. vti

**geraldmartin** · April 3rd, 2003 06:57 PM

ssaloon,ur right

i have seen lxis having 15's....sagwa lalo...need to be lowered pa and worst pag 16,s or 17's parang pang off road na ang dating

how about painting it?saan shop?

**tercons** · April 9th, 2003 03:53 PM

tama c ssaloon. dude mag 15 inch ka na lng para mas ok..and since mas tataas cya, paputol mo springs mo para mas maangas. hanap ka SIR magz or kahit VTEC magz lang, ayuz na!!!

dude wag kang paputol ng springs... your ride quality will suffer and in the end your suspension parts will wear out faster...

peace

**schizo** · April 10th, 2003 08:13 PM

i agree with wrecker.. NEVER cut your springs. bili ka na lang ng lowering springs. :mrgreen:

peace.

**Ninz** · April 12th, 2003 05:39 PM

pag civic ang car mo, basta maximum 2 ikot ang putol..stock ride dude. honda has great suspension. pero yung tamang tama lang. that is if nagtitipid ka. pero better talaga if you buy lowering springs. pero kasi yung akin nakaputol,not as low as i want to be, tamang tama lang. la namang problema ang tagal na nun. basta lang marunong yung nagpuputol.

opinion ko lang...

**buddyclub** · April 13th, 2003 04:13 PM

hmm..hindi tlga ako agree sa pagputol ng OEM springs..kse 1's na pinutol ang spring
sa tingin niyo ba pantay lahat ng spring rates niyan? so hindi tlga dapat gawin kse mkakasira ito ng buong auto(kakabounce) at makakasira rin ng underchassis agad.. matipi nga sa umpisa pero 1's na nasira mas malaki pa gastusin mo comprd kung bibili ka ng aftrmrkt lowering springs..2nd hand i think makakakuha ka nman ng 6-7k lng eh..
at nga pala it's not safe to cut your OEM springs kse hindi na pantay ang figure ng springs may chance na matangal ito sa shocks pag nalubak ng malakas..HTH

**tercons** · April 15th, 2003 03:14 PM

ninz is right, basta dpat exacto lang yng putol, nasa trabaho naman yan e kung ok ba yung pagka-gawa

nasa inyo na tlga ang choice... pero para sakin di tlga ako agree.. :D hehe

**geraldmartin** · April 16th, 2003 09:30 PM

putol is definitely out for me.........or lowering my ride........d maiwasan puno minsan....mag sa sayad.....

**sauman** · April 16th, 2003 09:45 PM

pagputol ng mga OEM springs is definitely a big NO NO. I've done this before sa dati kong lancer boxtype during the early 90's. Hindi acethylene kundi lagareng bakal pa pinagamit ko noon para pantay ang height niya pero ang mangyayari hindi naman ito lalapat dun sa base ng springs kaya't medyo kakala kalampag pa ito pag nadaan ka sa hindi patag na kalye. Kung gusto niyo pa lowered (which I am not an enthusiast na) buy lowering springs.
