do the dc5r wheels have a logo inside of the rim like how the stock rims have the enkei logo in the spokes? how can you tell if they are real or fake? and also, would i need to get different lug nuts, extended wheel studs, or spacers? any info or pics also would be appreciated.

you might need a 5 mm spacer. i think the jdm rims has honda stamp inside? not very sure but it should have the specs stamped on the inside, 60mm offset.

 

And it might have Enkies on the inside. I believe they make the rims. For sure it will have Honda.

 

There is a honda stamp on the inside. Also look for a 17x7J stamp on the inside.

You will also need a 5mm spacer along with extended wheel studs to make everything work fine. After that you should be fine. Mine are doing well, I even tracked them a few times and they are holding up very well.

 

do i really need the extended lug nuts or for the rear only? will it work with out changing the studs? also will the stock lug nuts work?

 

wsup man.. i just saw your post.. and you were givin' an advice 'bout the DC5 rims.. I also do have one.. but the problem is.. the offset is not right.. and you said, he will (the guy you're givin' the advice to) need 5mm spacer along with extended wheel studs.. and so, havin' a DC5 rims.. i will do the same thing? can you please sent me any pictures of your work done with yours or anymore kind of advice to get my offset right.. .. i appreaciate.. rytech_81@yahoo.com thanks...

 

Well guys I really do recommend getting extended wheel studs for the rear and atleast a 5mm spacer in the rear. Even with the 5mm spacer in the rear and depending on how low your car is you may still rub in the rear, so its up to you weather or not you want a 5mm or a 10mm spacer in the rear. My advice is atleast a 5mm spacer in the rear.

If you do not get a spacer in the rear you will rub insanly and every turn or bump you encounter will make you rub like crazy. Don't eat the rim on the inside and get a spacer.

As for the extended wheel studs you should definetly get them if you get the spacer.

If you get the 5mm spacer you can still put the nut on but it will not be on all the way which is dangerous so get the damn extended wheel stud from http://www.arp.com

That little set up should cost you like 20-40 for the spacer and another 45 for the extended wheels studs.

 

all that work for a set of wheels, not to sound like an idiot, but in doing this, does it help the car a lot?

 

Its not really that much work, the extended studs though might be a pain if you don't have the right tools, or just have never done it before.

I heard a few people saying they didn't use the spacers and had no problems because they were riding at stock height.

I'm dropped on Tein Flex to a 2 inch drop so it rubs a bit.

 

Hey, while we're on the topic of rims... I need an opinion, what size do you guys think is the biggest I can put on my RSX without compromising performance?

 

i found the set of rims i want for my RSX, and they only offer it in 18 or 19 inch diameters, so i dont know, considering...any opinions?

 

Don't go any larger then a 17. DC5R comes in a 17 inch rim and they were going for maximizing performance. Try to stay with 17 if possible. No larger, a 16 inch rim would help you even more.

hes totally rite, they made the car with 17 for a reason, any bigger would be more wieght, thinner tires and possible wheel well problems. i would stay 17 or drop to 16

 

the only thing I don't like about the dc5r rims is that they weigh 19.5 pounds

couldn't they have made them lighter? =\

 

besides the offset problems id say the rims look PIMP. I do feel that the car doesnt handle as well b/c of the horrible offset so im saving up for the R suspension. otherwise i love the rims, weight isnt a big factor, didnt slow me down at all.

Thanks dude, I was told the same thing by a good friend of mine... I just wanted a second opinion.
