who makes the ITR wheels for the dc5? I'm an ek guy but I was just wondering. I know my old hx wheels were made by enkei. thanks

 

come on I know one of you dc peeps gotta know right off the top of your heads.

 

I thought they were bbs, but I'm probably wrong

 

I'm pretty sure enkei makes them for the dc5-r.

 

I heard ROTA is a manufacturer for some of the OEM wheels honda uses....

I'm pretty sure honda doesn't use rota's. I like rota's don't get me wrong I just don't see honda choosing them.

 

if rota made honda wheels, there'd be a recall for all the rims cracking and breaking in half all the time. not sure rota is safe enough to be an oem manufacturer... i know from lots of experience

 

really? I know a lot of people w/ rota's that haven't had any problems with them.

Lots of experience from? I've only seen one case of ROTA breaking, and I believe that was on a red DC somewhere here on HT...I've also seen Mugen MF10L's break, as well as ADVAN RG's that were pretty messed up....

What I meant to say is that, enkei, kosei, and some japanese cast wheels all come from the same factories as the ROTA wheels. They are sub-contracted with honda.. Just like tires, they all come from the same factories...same rubber...just different technology applied to them and a name added to make you pay more money....

 

but yeah, besides that point, I got my money that ENKEI makes the ITR wheel

 

so all those wheels are made in the phillipines??? ive had rotas, and so have tons of my friends. besides the fact i used to slang em left and right. they do crack if u hit em hard enough, as opposed to type-r wheels, which can take a beating from cali's pot holes.
