[travisl_2727]

i got sick of trying to find decent 12" tires so i decided to switch to 13's

what do you guys think?


they installed on the car fine with no problems...
tires are 155/80r13's

^Sweetness!

i got 4 wheels but only got 2 tires for now cause my fronts are in great conditions still(backs were showing cords) so it looks kinda funny right now with the stock steelies up front still

those look great!

[travisl_2727]

this is what it looks like with the steelies still on the front

[NeptuneZeek]

awwwww your so lucky.. those are sexy rims

[perucho]

They look good but a bit too shinny for the car. How about painting/powder coating those spokes to match the rest of the wheel?

Did you remove the rear brakes? It always amazes me how small the rear drums are.

[travisl_2727]

It

They look good but a bit too shinny for the car

I drive two miles on a dirt road to get to work, there not shiny anymore

[TominMO]

Very nice wheels, but why only 155/80? Those are probably 5" or 5 1/2" wide, so why not 175/70 for example?

[Safety Guy]

Nice wheels! Dual bolt pattern, too. Nice to have for any future suspension swaps!

I'd get two new tires and run the alloys. Keep your Festy 12s for full size spare and/or emergencies.

Yeah, I'd prefer 175/70s as well, but if you had the 155/80s, they'll do. Cheap, less rolling resistance, etc.

Yeah... less rolling resistance was my thinking... I like to eke every ouce of fuel economy out of my car just to see how good I can do...
Its amazing how different drivers can get such different mpg results though... I get around 43 mpg on my normal commute but when I let my brother drive it he only gets like 35 mpg...
Festivas are fun to drive but I like to try for the best mpg I can

[Grey Vw]

Looking good! I think that "14 inch rims would look best. Just my opinion

Ended up with two posts

I liked the Incidents well enough to buy a set yesterday for the Brand "X" my Wife drives. The 175/70/13 *can* rub on Festiva rear struts, so you may want to get a set of Aspire struts to gain a little more spring perch clearance. Makes the car look nice, doesn't it! Keep up the good work! It really changed the look of your car!
