they're the best wheels if you already have a set already (don't have to pay $ to get them) and you like the way they look, your set isn't bent, and are in otherwise good shape
if you're looking to put a tire wider than 215/##/15 then they might not be the best my brother has 225/50/15's on his virgos and they are too wide. the sidewall is bulging out and probably doesn't contribute to lateral g-force control. i have 205/55/15's on my virgos and they fit perfectly w/ the rim protector that is added onto the tire. 205/50/15's are pretty short, you can find a lot of really aggressive tires in that size from Falken, Hancook, or any other performance race tire used for autocross etc. i think 195/60/15's are stock, personally they're too skinny and make the car look dorky as well as provide less traction for drag radials then you can put 225/50/15's, i have a set of virgos with BFGoodrich drag radials and have had them as low as 14psi to get some more traction off the line and they didn't blow out or explode hope that helps

i have hydras and kumho spt's, they work well, i have lots of suspension upgrades... and these tires still under steer even with 25mm sways in the rear... i drive extremely aggresive though on mountain roads... get falken azenis. they are the best for the cheap price.
and get from www.discounttiredirect.com free shipping!!!
