People are going to tell you:

1. This is not tech
2. Go to A/C forum
3. Search
4. Go to ephatch.com

But I understand and I'll post:

I like how flush mine sit with the fender/quarter panels, how the 17s fit the wheel wells, and I love how often I get the question: "Are those stock rims?" because of the center caps and peoples' lack of ep3 knowledge because of their rarity.


I suggest looking in the offical ep3 or dc5 picture threads.

Thanks but they aren't rota's

I had 15x7s slips on it but they were hideously too small. I wish I would have kept them for the track though.

They are konig traffiks. They do look just like rota boosts though. I'm pretty sure that slips go up to 17 inch.

Yeah they are for 17s. They feel about the same as my 13" alloys on my cx eg (but they are 92 accord rims). I still wouldn't use them on the track.

The konig traffiks actually look good. Although rota is your best bang for your buck, even if people call them rice.

The konigs for daily driving because they look good. The rotas for the track because tires are cheaper and they are a bit lighter.
