Default Just a quick question!

Before I do all the JDM stuff I want, I want to know what rim size would look better 16" or 17"?
thanks

speaking from experience: go with 16's.

they're lighter (for the most part), will drive better, and you'll have more tire sidewall to prevent this from happening...

16's FTW...less weight (in most cases like stated) more tire revolutions giving little more acceleration over the 17's. there was a thread somewhere on here that showed the impact of losing 10lbs in the wheels and it had a dramatic effect.

15s are the lightest.

And the 'Type S' you say you have is a Prelude S model. The S is for slow, not Type S.

Only problem then is your hurting performance by making the tire larger.

Worse acceleration.
