DC5Rs look better IMO. I'm kinda getting tired of seeing them on DC5s though, but I think I'm just getting tired of them period.

I can imagine the EP3 ones looking good on the coupes. However I doubt they'd fit on the EM2 normally.

well considering they're 5 lug, i guess you'd have a ton of fitment problems.

Bleh, more than you think. Though a 5-lug conversion is very possible, the offset of the DC5R wheel is like 60. With the ITR hubs, the wheels would stick out rather noticably.

You can see pictures of what I mean at http://www.hondawerx.com/swap.htm. It has the hubs and brakes from the DC5R but the wheels on it stick out further than the body.

Well, if my EM2 was 420HP I probably wouldn't care THAT much.

i have actually seen the EP3 type R rims on a 2002 sedan. They didn't stick out at all. I wonder what kind of fitment issues the owner had to deal with (besides the 5 lug conversion)

Not to be rude but they look nothing like the Ep3-R rims....

But my choice would be the Ep3
