1) Those rims are heavy

2) Offset is like a +55 and the wheel is 7+" wide. Yes, spacers are recommended

3) Both of the above are reasons why you rarely see a DC2R running DC5R wheels

thanks for the reply TODD

really? these rims are heavy? no idea about that..
i currently have RSX-S 16's on mine and they are fine so thought i might ask.
I found these DC5R one's for a really good price thinking of getting them to swap out my RSX-S.

if i do get them what size spacer should i get? 10mm? thanks

not a good idea

>16 on a teg usually is not appealing from a performance or appearance aspect, unless you're boosted and running a BBK, I'd choose a lighter 15 or 16" rim

it is UNSAFE to run more than a 3mm spacer on stock wheel studs. If you are going to run anything bigger youll need to get extended studs. (ARP makes some)

But im going to have to throw this out there... 17" are a little too big for an ITR and like Todd said, DC5R wheels are HEAVY!

Yes, they are heavy. More than 20 lbs.

USDM RSX wheels are 16x6.5" +45 offset. They are also one of the lightest (02-04) 16" OEM Honda wheels ever made.

DO NOT run a 10mm spacer on OEM wheel studs. You'd need ot get extended studs to make it work properly.

But honestly, why??? Even USDM RSX people aren't fans on the DC5R wheels.

the DC5 wheels have a really high offset, i dont know if you like the sunken wheel look ( even if they clear) but im not a fan.
