Default Does anybody ride on 17's anymore??

I have a set, but trying to decide whether or not to sell them (Racing Hart C3 evolution) . I have no problem getting something smaller but I would be losing money on the sell. kind of sucks. seems that everything is 15's or so lately. hhmmm

Don't go by what everyone else has or what the trend is. Go by what you use your car for. If you are happy with the rims, how they look on the car, then keep them. If you think you want to autocross with it or something and want something lighter and more performance oriented, then get rid of them.

Me three! actually 18" black rh evo C2's... worked well w/the bulky bomex kit but now i'm trying to sell them to anyone... they're just sitting in the garage w/super new tires...

and in the meantime, i'm on stocks... looking for a smaller wheel.

I really doubt anyone would want them on this board but if anyone does, please pm me.

If you like them, keep'em.
If you WANT smaller rims, sell'em.

Your gonna waste alot of time and money trying to keep up with the "style of the month".

DO WHAT YOU LIKE!

Exactly why i'm trying to get rid of them... bent them via pothole a couple of times... tires where too expensive also... overall, not very user friendly for daily driving!

Nice white hatch by the way! That's pretty damn low... how does drive like that or is the back jacked up a bit?

17's will always be my choice for road racing. i won't go higher than that but they must be lightweight, preferably forged. i have a set of lightweight 15"s but they're for autox. everyone is on the 15" bandwagon but keep what you like and look for it's performance qualities. they are too many excellent 17''s for people to pass up and because everyone's jocking the 15"s, they're cheaper now

I'm rolling 17's currently. I've gone from 15's to 16's to 17's, then back down to 15's and now I'm back to 17's, but the ones I have on now are around 12lbs, so not too heavy...

I had a set of 17's on my Civic and they fit the best. 18's were too big, and 15's are nice but seem dull to 17's. I love the way my car handles with 17's, turns on a dime.

Just wished I kept them instead of selling them!
