Were those Civic Si 15's? That may have helped the gear ratio compared to stock, which was, what -- 13?
The difference between my factory wheels and the "rims" seen in the picture was a total difference of two-tenths of a percentage (.2%) on the odometer.

I didn't bother to take an empirical sample because it was quite obvious that the wider wheels were severely hurting the vehicle as it coasted and during steering.
