Hey guys,
I'm looking for some pics of the ITR with CP-10's on it. I did a search and couldn't find anything so I'm hoping this will work.
Also, can anyone tell me the disadvantages with a 17" rim? I would be for daily use only and not for the track?

It seems that nobody has any pictures. Is this because you think the CP-10's are not worthy of the R or is it that you don't think they look that good.
They are one of the lightest 17" rim on the market.
???????

 

NiNeD8iNtEgTyPeR has a set of 16's on her '98 itr...they look rather nice...just can't find any pics of her car at the moment.

.....I believe most here are fans of 15" over 16" for the minor weight savings.

I'd like a set of 15" cp10's... but I've heard that they don't come in 15", are cast, and are heavier than the cp035's (which are forged) by quite a bit.....

Anyone?

 

Well the CP-10's are 17 lbs. each...so that's only a 1.6 lb difference between the stock rims and those.
Will 17" rims affect my performance if I'm using them daily or at the track?

 

stockers are 15" and 15lbs.....

I wouldn't go with anything heavier..... hence the rota vs. everything else debate in another thread.....

go with something lighter in the size you want, or go with a smaller size.....

good luck!

 

I understand the weight factor coming into play, but when were talking about 1.6 lbs/rim difference, the total amount difference would only be 6.4 lbs.
The reason I don't want 15 or 16" rims is that if I'm gonna pay close to 2K CDN for my rims and tires, I want something with a bit more "show". I'd love to get the Mugen MF-10's but the $$ is outrageous in CDN dollars.
I almost find it silly to pay more money for 15 or 16" rims that are gonna weigh a few lbs less than stock rims. Remember, you can keep the car as light as possible, but if YOU yourself weigh a considerable amount, what weight savings you thought you had done will all be for nothing! I guess there is some give and take here.....
