haha, not bad, but it'll look better if the car had a lower stance to it.

i've run 17" wheels like that before, slightly lighter, but not by much (ssr integrals).

I have to say, while they look different, the impact of performance was just way too much for me to deal with.

in fact, now that i'm back to lightweight 15" wheels, if it was possible to get away with 14"s, or 13"s, i'd probably do it

Its been a while for someone to try a set.
So do u have any offset problems in rubbing and does it fill like a ton of extra weight in road feel?

those wheels have a +60 offset I believe. You will probably run in to issues as soon as you lower the car.

Anything over '15 on a DC2 R doesn't look right IMHO. Even if its OEM Honda.

At stock height, 16's look the best, slightly dropped 17's 18's are way too big...just my opinion tho

at std height and even lowered there are no problems whatsoever.

I have fitted 3mm spacers to stop some rubbing on full lock though.

the wheels yes part of me thinks they are too big, but i am keeping my 15's and having a set of legal slicks fitted for summer use/track days.

i will get a picture soon of it lowered and in daylight.

Is it just me, or is the rear sitting lower than the front in that pic?
