yes, but the overall diameter is off. 205x.55=112.75. 195x.6=117. So you sidewallls are much smaller than stock, but im not gonna hate because if you arent putting out alot of power, smaller diameter will help acceleration out.

So what should I go with on the next set if I want something that's wider and w/ a lower profile than stock, but that isn't too wide for the factory 15s (6.5" I think). Also needs to be a size that they make the Ziex 512s in, b/c I'm hooked on these things. And is 5mm really gonna make that much of a difference in load rating?

stick with what you have, as long as it isnt giving you any issues with high rpm on the highway. 205 is a fine width for the stock rims, just dont go wider.

team dynamics.pro race 1, this brand name wheel is popular in the BTCC series.


Hey Slappy, is Don Kane hooking you up? I was going to get Team Dynamic Pro Race 2's in 16x7 +25 offset but they had to be custom drilled, and it would've taken months for them to come over from the UK so i didn't do it. Team Dynamics are awesome rims for the money if your'e willing to wait, they are lightweight and come in any offset (the pro race series rims)

I'd leave them alone. Honestly, I regret painting mine. Its just a PITA and rarely properly done. That's just how I feel. Do as you wish.

So Mantaray sells Team Dynamics blanks? Sorry I didn't mention who Don Kane was, he's Team Dynamics USA's rep in California, so i was going to go through him directly/custom order my rims.

The rims used to be white, and I didn't allow enough time for the paint to cure before putting tires on.
