Re: Who wants these rims?!? (type-r 01 886)

Yes they would. When I saw them at the Moscone Auto Show I knew that they would look good on an R. They kinda look like the jdm 16's, but a little different. I wonder what the weight is though?

Looks nice, but I wouldn't go for it if they were any bigger than 16's. Anything bigger is overkill on an R.

Re: Who wants these rims?!? (ITRChris)

Really nice rims, but you'd probably have to drop your R to compensate for the wheel gap.

Re: Who wants these rims?!? (thk)

pretty sharp. Nice rims. Probably heavy.

Chris - who likes the look of the DC5R, but not the other DC5s...

I agree that it looks nice, same body parts as the DC5R... too bad all that is 4k.

after looking at the pics again, i bet it is a replacement for us not getting the DC5R. hence the wing.

i would buy the DC5R instantly if it came over here, wouldn't touch that

They'd improve the look of the R only on black & yellow models IMO. I don't really dig the gunmetals on the CW.

But the wheel gap wouldn't change.

I like them too though.

Stock wheels might be 17's ... so these being an upgrade might actually be 18".

Sort of look like OZ Superleggera (sp).

The wheelgap always changes when you upgrade from a 15" to a 17" rim.
