Default How many of you would put 17s on your DC5R if you had one?

Remember, Thats how they come... Say just like on older cars they put 16s on the US version... Would you put a lightweight 17 on your DC5R?

So you guys voting no know that it comes with 17s factory right... So you would put 16s on it? Even though all the major aftermarket cos, Spoon and Mugen are making 17s for it... I guess we dont know enough about the gearing to make a choice really. Id have to put 17s on it. Im sure it was designed to be used with 17s so if 16s were USDM stock, it put on some 17 MF10s...

I happen to like the 17's that the DC5 R comes with, although I think its safe to say if we get the car that we will most likely end up with 16's. But yes, I would keep the 17's on the car if thats what it came with.

The DC5R comes with 17's from the factory... Putting 16's on that car would make about as much sense as replacing the DC2R 15's with a set of 14's.

I would beat you with a 17 B-diddy, that is about all I can think about at the moment.

I don't think you can clear the Brembo's with 16's... so what's the point of asking this question?

Not true. Im anticipating that the DC%R will come with 16s here in this country. Just like in JDM, the DC2R comes with 16s but we get 15s... Pretend we get 16s here in USDM and JDM is still 17

Your anticipations are 16" wheels instead of 17", my anticipations are RSX Type S with Type R exterior parts - in which case I won't even bother. Either way, I would likely keep the stock rims size and get some lightweight wheels.

If I remember reading correctly, they are 19" black chrome. No idea who makes them. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If someone measured the height of a tail light, then from the second picture you might be able to calculate the size of the rim using the light as a reference. Although parallax is prominent. Probably easier to look it up somewhere, or find a good picture of the tire. All you can make out in my pictures is that they are Michelins.
