The stock steelies mustn't weigh much, so I think it would be hard to find lighter wheels in any size, unless they were tiny 13"s as well. I ask because the wider tires should benefit the Civic.

- Fri May 29, 2009 7:44 am #119395 Putting a taller Tire on your car will effect your accerlation. Its physics, However on my Dx Sedan I have not noticed a huge impact on Performance going from the Stock 13's to my 15" LS Web's.

However the handling and Ride Comfort is much better after getting the bigger Rims.

So 195/55-15 or 195/50-15

most aftermarket wheels are pretty light, plus the extra handling an ride comfort is worth the extra lbs

A light weight set of 15" will cost more, but unless you're racing the car then don't worry about the extra weight. The handling of the car will be a huge improvement.
