You do realize that those are only 4-lug wheels?

 

i think 15s are the best for performance, but maybe not for looks. 15s with some good grip tires will run really good in 3rd gear

The wheels work in those gears as well!

 

Eh, he's a noob, spare him. By the way Ed, how's everything feeling with no bar in the car?

 

too many posts to be a noob.

Ed - are you SURE the wheels work in other gears besides third??

Spacious, and ... I can see over my left sholder.
The first time I took a good friend of mine to lunch after removing the bar, he was surprised how far back he could now move the passenger seat.

I'll be putting the SpeedWare harness guide bar back in as soon as I have some time.

noob? nah i dont think so.... dont just go by the avatar guys.

noobs dont start threads like these https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=660824

and BTW, thats where i got a lot of my ideas... this showed me visually what to look for but not the technical information.
I am just wondering if I should go with aluminum wheels and if the ones i posted would be worth the money. I am not saying that I will get the 4 lug or that exact size.

Oops, confused threads, I was referring to a dude starting another thread that had only 10 posts... on me. Ed, you won't be using the harnesses without a bar, of course, right?

Oh yes, of course!
Will probably mount the sholder belts to the rear seat belt locations, though.

 

what's wrong with the stockers?

 

Nothing, I lovem... just looking for something that will give me more road feel.

I think I make go with the Volk Rays GM 16"

My buddy just got a s2000 and i know my suspension is stiffer than his but his car feels more solid on the road. I think it may have to do with his wheels being larger and more surface area contact with the road.

acutally that one picutures is for the rare 8 lug conversion

I don't think it's just the wheels.

 

What else would make the car feel that way. Its hard to explain unless you rode in the car. It most feels like its super heavy like a BMW.

But I know its not heavy, and i can tell my suspension is stiffer just by the ride. There is just something different and I can only think that it would be the wheels. I dont mean anything to do with handling just the bumps in the road. Maybe I feel it more because im in hard leather seats instead of soft sUEEEEEEDEE seats

The S2K weighs almost 500 lbs more than an ITR (unless you've got hundreds of pounds of stereo stuff).

What have you done to your suspension?
Stock? Not sure leather seats would make the diff either ... ?

 

that post looks like it would go in the appearance forum

 

Nah, too shiney lip and chrome center cap!
