i like launching my car and racing it but im wondering whats better thanks for your help!

 

idk i wanna find the same also

 

16s but the tire options fade a Lot when u go to 16" rims

 

18'S SEEM KINDA BIG UNLESS YOU HAVE AOLT OF POWER BUT VOLKS NICE.

 

17"s would be perfect

Just like what he said, if you want performance, your best bet are 16's. I'm ordering some 17" volks, but it's just for a daily driver.

BUT 18" Volks....that sh*t is hot...

 

you'll be fine with 17s

 

my cousin has some 18inch volks on his 06 rsx-s and they look perfect...not too small..not too big...

(emphasis mine)

15's.

Get some Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 or 1.2 wheels (they fit, believe me) or TE37's for 3x the price, pop some meaty tires on 'em, and have fun.

Smaller wheel = lower rolling inertia = less work needed to spin them faster.

If you wanna race, particularly in a straight line, this is what you should do if you want to go faster.

 

17s if you like racing, 18 if its more for show, it wont handle as well with 18s and your car will sit higher

 

hey if you get rid of your stockies let me know i want some type s wheels...thanks

 

ya im definatley a function over form kinda guy. my RSX is gettin 17's at biggest, maybe 16's but i want something wider for some meatier R compound rubber. and the rims have to be lighter weight too.

 

If your in to show cars. 18's

If your in to road racingand strip. 17's just big enough for 12 inch brakes so you can slow down

 

Oh, if you're into drag racing, downgrade your front brakes to the ones from the base model (I'm sure finding someone to trade won't be difficult ) so that you have less rotating mass.

Brakes on the dragstrip can be absolutely minimal and still get the job done. Any strip worth running has a long, long runoff area, probably at least as long as the timed section itself.

Big brakes = slower E/T's.

Then get 15" wheels (or 14's if you can find some to fit and are still wide) and drag radials.

Do you want quick drag times or not?

 

Basically, it comes down to two sentences:

If you're going for show, who cares how big they are.

If you're racing, get wheels as small as will fit over your brakes and as wide as you're willing to fit under the fenders.

 

hey wants quick drag times .
but the problem is that he orders his vloks and they already shipped them . the ones he ordered they dont make them in no smaller than 18's .

 

Then he should use the Volks for show and get some other wheels for drag.

Sounds simple enough to me.

 

Yeah im rockin 18's for show status, 17's are great but liek everyone says its up to what you plannin to do with the car

 

Hey well i am gonna get rid of my stock rims why? how much you wanna offer

 

17'S FTW!!! but like a lot of others said i would rather go 16's

 

Go 18s!

So much nicer, 17s look kinda small on the car. 19 is nice too, but it's a pain to drive.

I'm on 18" Racing Hart and loving it!
(Drop is photoshopped, I'm not that low)

18s will look really nice. 17s are good too
