Right now my insight has HX rims on some no name brand cheap tires. I know from when I drove my uncles friends insight that had OEM rims and re92's (although worn) the RR is much higher with these tires. Besides that the tires I have right now are oversized and killing my city mileage. And above all that, yea funds are killing me. I still have to replace my EGR valve, along with getting a grid charger before considering the rims. The rims plus tires are 500, but the guy I sold the civic to wants the HX rims for 200. So basically 300$ for RE92'S with ~95% tread and OEM rims (from a member on insight forums).
[Edit]: I'm assuming you went from an old set of RE92'S to a new set right?
Also, I'm gonna be changing my radiator today, so keep an eye out later on tonight for an update. (that's already paid for though).
