At first, this problem didnt bother me much, but now its starting to get to me!
-i was gonna get 17's because they look *perfect* on integras and i wasnt thinking much into performance, but went you see all those damn cars on the road-you juust wanna tear them a new one!! 16's look okay too but are lighter, cheeper, and the tires are cheeper too! their only about a pound difference in weight, but the hight side wall on 16's will help in straight launches, but the shorter sidewalls of the 17's will help in cornering!! but those damn 17's look *perfect*...
WHAT TO DO?!? what are/would you guys doing??
-help my indecisive ***...

one of the new Velox rims that come in 17's weighs 12.5 lbs.
they said they used hot die forging to achieve that...
whatever that is.

 

haha nice one dan, but those wheels arent the best lookin ones that ive seen, and i bet there not even that light... sorry dude..

and those Velox wheels, there light - i give them that - but their look soo ricey and cheep! if only they had a better designer... thx anyways guys...

 

To be honest, you're right 17's do look good on the integs, and 16's make it look odd, like something's missing. I say you have to pick one or the other... you wanna turn or you wanna launch? I have 17's on my car right now, but after i put on my camber kit, i can't make extremely fast left turns, especially with a passenger cause it scrubs. This is due to the correction of my negative camber, and the offset of my 17's. So if you pick 17's you might have to roll your fender, depending on how dropped your car is, and if you get a camber kit and also the offset of your rims.

If i could turn time around, i'd reconsider the camber kit, because with negative camber, i could rape left turns etc. But now that i have neutral camber, i don't have to worry about buying expensive low pro tires every 6 months.

Your call! Good luck on the decision.. it's pretty hard

 

16's

16's...got them and like them

 

16's fit perfect on tegs. Anything bigger tends to look ricey (with some exceptions) 17's also need a shorter sidewall which means less protection from rim damage and more passenger discomfort. Ah yes, and the car has to put more effort into spinning the 17" because of weight and the extra rotational inertia. 16's all the way.

 

I've got 16's and love them. 17's look too big for the integra in my opinion. I was debating between 15's and 16's but went with the 16's for better looks rather than that extra little performance that I would have gained with 15's

16's all day everyday....

 

yes

 

but if you have to get 17's make sure they they're atleast light http://www.wheelweights.net

 

i used to want 16s due to wieght until i got 17 gram lights with crappy ventus tire but thats not bad for 1200

 

I sold my 17's for 16's. I like the look with 45 series tires.

 

I am buying 16's with 215/45/16 tires for my 92 GSR.
If you want to upgrade your brakes in the future with Brembos or any other big brakes you might need at least 17" rims with the correct offset to clear the calipers.

 

17" is the way to go. it fit the teg perfectly. just look for a set that is forge and very light. you get the look, you get the lightness, you get the handling that 16" can not offer.

i happen to have a set of Works wheel from japan for sale. look in my sig. located in socal. pickup if you want to.
