Default New GAB wheels on my cw DC2R - need opinions

Hi guys,

Just "borrowed" a set of these 15inch GABS before purchasing them. Just wanted your opinions on them. Personally I think 15inch wheels are too small for a DC2R unless I get fat semi slicks for them, then it'll look more purposeful (not to mention a shitload more fun to drive on the track and the street as well). I'm also confused about with the wing or without. Any opinons appreciated.








Stockies for comparison (also 15inch).

Nice looking car. I love me some GABS. 15s are looking a little small though.

Looks hot...the polished lip makes the wheels look a tad smaller, 16's may help (not sure if they were made in 16's).

I say keep the stockies and go wingless!

The 15's do look a little small but that's because of the polished lip. No matter what you decide for the wheels, I say keep the wing. ITR wing

Stock wheels look good and definitely keep the wing.

I feel 15's are too small for a DC2 chassis as well....here are some pics of my 16" GABS on my ITR:

I think the Gabs are hot!
I hate all wings except the OEM ITR wing. If you do take it off, take off the rear wiper too.
Nice car.

15" is a bit too small, but it looks better wingless. But i like your stock rims on your ride....wingless.

I love these GABS in 16inch... but waiting till I find a set is a hard task...

Looks like I am not going to take these... I do believe 15inch is way too small for a DC2 (The later model JDM DC2R came with 16inch stockies afterall).

Thanks for all the advice/opinions. Much appreciated and it's helped me make up my mind for sure.

All the best peeps!!!

Oops sorry dude. Really unsure of the offset but they are perfect for the DC2R and fill up the guards that little bit more than the 15inch stockies. Rare? Yes they are for sure rare and will be sold to the states (they're in Australia atm) if I do not take them.
