Just like my topic says... im searching for the stock weight of an DC5-R from Japan. I really like those wheels and the OEM look but I need to know if they are much heavier than an aftermarket good quality wheel.

If someone know the width of the wheel it would be nice to let me know too !

 

Pretty sure they weigh around 17ish lbs. I believe they are 17x7's.

 

i always thought they were a similar weight to the 05-06 type-s wheels

They are. They are about 20-21 lbs IIRC. Definitely not a light wheel.

Note to the OP: these are not a direct bolt-on. You need parts to make them work.

 

yeah, spacers are needed i believe
not worth it unless you just want the look of it

You don't have to get a spacer for them to bolt on, it just looks better. The difference in offset is 7mm I believe, so they would be 7mm into the wheel well more than a stock wheel. They still bolt on fine.

Aside from that, they are not light at all and are only a good choice if you are trying to replicate a TypeR. Get lighter aftermarket wheels for less, IMO.

 

thanks !

I really like the look of them but if the are that much heavier compare to a good wheel I prefer to save some weight.

 

The offset of the DC5R wheel is +60. Couple that with a 7" wide wheel, and that's definitely going to rub.

People run 15mm spacers to correct for this on the USDM cars. That's pretty significant.

Ah yes, it was more than 7mm. However, they do not rub on a local car here with out spacers.

Maybe with a narrow 205/45/17 that wheel will be fine, but put some 225/45/17's on it and it'll be all over your inner fenders on both the back and front. Even moreso if lowered.

 

8.8kg or 19.36lbs.

Nope, even has that size tire, no rubbing.

Also, I run an 18x8 with a +48 offset and it does not rub either. The extra half inch (12.75mm) width would put the inner rim lip in the exact same location as a 7" with 60mm offset.
