Rims and Tires

RioTuner · 09-22-2008, 01:49 PM

What size looks best on the rio? I have a silver 06 lx im thinking of getting 15" with a silver lip. I don,t wanna go to big cause the
tires cost more...

Click above link. Those are the 15" alloys that come on the SX model. 15" looks best in my opinion. I don't think you want to go bigger.

Sorry, I guess the link didn't post. Here it is:

Those are 18"s Arkaneinc? Wow, I didn't think they would fit. I guess with that low of a profile tire they will. On second thought, if I were to get new wheels (which I probably will in the future) I would get 16"s.

I'd personally go with either a 17" alloy or something in the 18" variety. All depends on what you are going to do with the car though. 18"s will fit if you wanted to go that route. I did and I'm happy with the result. But its all on your personal preference

I went for lite 15`s if you want looks/fuel consumption combo

those 18 wheels kill the gas mileage....

once had a toyota paseo with orginal 14`s went to 17`s killed the gas mileage from 40 mpg to 30 mpg ( yes the tires were same height)

there are some physics laws involved here with an 110 hp engine cant put to much weight & centrifugal forces to fight!

yep. It depends on what your going for. If your going for looks go 18"s if your going for FE then go with 15"s or 16"s alloys
