RIMS
my dilema 16" or 17"???????????????????

lighter 16"s.......
17" look better on a 4dr.......(i have a 4dr)

whats the difference between the 2?
I just wanna kill all evo's out there on the street....
looking at rota slipstreams and yes they do make 17's.
tires too.... i'm thinking cheaters?

can anybody give me some good feedback on this topic?

 

i say 17 is a lil to big for 4door dc's.... 16's are perfect

 

I say for greater weight reduction 16's. 17's may not be much more heavier though. AS for the look go 17's.

 

i say 17 dont worry about the wieght its not ur gong to be making that much its a 4dr just my .02 cents

 

well if your not gonna go wit 15s and you just wanna go big, might as well get some 20s. your already losing performance going wit 17s so might as well kill it all the way for the look. rii rii rii

 

cant go wrong with 16s

 

16z

 

15s for weight. 16s for looks.

btw, search or else. this thread is a repeat.

 

yup u should learn how to use the search

 

15's with 205/50's. I hope you have something besides your b20 to take out them Evos.

 

if u want 17's and have some cash... get some Volk CE28's they are light as hell... the 17x7.5 weight is like 14lbs

 

thought about getting the ce28 know where to getttem for a fair price it seems like everyone likes to mark them up to crazy *** prices.

 

i liked the look of my 17's.....which are now for sale.....see below

 

Less rim = more tire = softer ride = better control. Run the 16's the tires are cheaper and it looks cleaner slammed. Not to mention the acceleration is a lot better.

 

imo id get 15s or 16s, im more biased to the 15s though , but its really up to you so get what you want

 

Check it I am actually selling my rims with tires. 17x7 with 215/45/17 Toyo FZ4's they are Tenzo R Formula 10's (CE28n replica) custom powdercoated bronze.

what does a taller tire do for me as far as performance on either size rim?
i also need recommendations on tires....

 

16 fo sho, nicer feeling ride too

 

The taller tire gives you a little bit softer ride. most spec race cars in the GT divisions use a 45 series tire because it gives them the most comforting ride while not sacrificing any of the performance. when you start hitting the 55 series and up when you are making fast hard turns the side wall twists a little and doesnt give full grip there for causeing friction both waring the tire faster and causing for slower lap times.

 

i have 17's on my DA hit me up u prob have to email me for a pic but i will consider sellin wit brandnew tires...but they weight less that my old 16's gunmetal with polished lip

let me add to that...

stiffer the sidewall (lower the profile) faster the response because the less the sidewall flexes. but then theres a point where if u go too stiff with the sidewall (also take into account the psi in tire) then u'll start losing performance also.

the rims also take account in handeling, generally the lighter the rim, the faster the response. when u have a lot of power, u need a bigger, wider rim to put more of the power to the ground so u won't just constantly spin the tire, look at the dragsters for an example.

 

good choice man

 

so correct me if i'm wrong i'm probably looking at 16's with 45 series?

that sounds good right?

 

16s yooo im out
