just want to see what it looks like. not that id do it, since the stockers are 16's. if nything i'm moving to 17's.

 

edit* didn't see the 5g part

 

here's one

 

david, i think he's lookin for type r rims similar to my knock offs. the ones you linked are aspecs.

 

yeah unless doing burn outs on 15s with a f22 is considered aptimal

16-17 is the best so u can actualy accelerate in frisdt gear

my close to stock h22 even spins my 17s when i floor it from the bottem of frist even with bfgoodrich potenzas tires, id hate to see a set of 15s... prob. would just stay put untill 3rd gear

 

those are the jdm 16 inch in gunmetal
the aspecs have a little curve on the spokes to them

 

This post fails. So you are saying the bigger the rim the better traction i will have....

 

Agreed. Only thing I can figure is that smaller diameter rims TYPICALLY have narrower tires with smaller contact patches. Other than that possibility, I don't understand the logic.

OP, a quick search through the 5th gen pictures thread here, on PP, on PO, and on google should answer your question.

 

david, you are stupid and wrong. i don't even know what Hype R rims are, hyper rims?

 

no the bigger the rim the harder it is for the drive train to turn not nessicarly "traction" but i deff know im right. if you dont belive me put 2 17s up fornt anf launch ur car, then 2 15s at the same launch (unless you have really good tires on the 15s and really bad ones on the 17s) i guarantee x 91347284758962098769756075697265698527958675209756 562702 that u spin the 15s a whole lot more

the bigger the wheel the longer it takes to turn = proven fact
the longer it takes to turn the harder it is to "spin" them = also proven fact by me, i deff have had to stock alloys on as spares. and 17s on the reg i know

 

So you're assuming that the 15" rims have a different overall diameter due to an incorrect tire size?

 

Please read about tire sizes, for your sake. If not, enjoy thinking that 17's will get you better times at the track then some 15/16's with proper tire sizing.

 

It's called inertia. The HEAVIER the wheel, the more power it takes to turn. If there are two wheels with the same weight, but different rim/tire size, it does not take anymore effort to turn the rim as long as they are the same outer diameter of the tire. However, the tires on a lower profile aren't able to deform as much as a higher profile tire, hence the better grip on a soft, high-profile tire (slicks)

If the same tire/rim weight and outer diameter is on two sets, one a 15 and a 17" rim, the 15 would have slightly better grip, given the tires were the same material. This is one reason why slicks don't come in low profile.

 

This is of course in reference to straight-line acceleration. Less ability to deform is better for corners.

 

Yes. Cornering demands stiffer side walls. They still need to deform though. The better slip angle that the tire can tolerate, the more agressive it will allow the driver to enter the turn.

 

16's will still perform better in lapping events and autocross than a 17's. I have used 15/16/17 in autocross and 17's were hands down the worse for autocross and straight line. My 16's were the best for autocross, and my 15's were the best so far for straight line. Once again, tires will make the biggest difference.

 

 

Oem 98 spec itr rims

 

that's a nice *** lude
