Other than bigger rotational mass and expensive tires, why else should I NOT get 17s?

 

the rims themselves are more expensive.

and we will all flame your hardcore

 

they are heavy. Other than that...i can't stop you

 

Forgot about the flaming. Updated:

- Bigger rotational mass ---> Effect is not that big as to avoid 17s
- Expensive tires ---> $10 more per tire
- Flaming ---> thats always.
- Heavier Wheels ---> About 5 pounds per set.

 

Why stop at 17....go to like 22's or something. Thatll look shizzite or something..:confused:

 

they're not that pretty on a type R....plus they're more expensive.....and weigh more... which was already said

 

Not that bad.

 

might bend easier on potholes ?

 

Your buying or thinking about Erics rims?

 

I dont think they look bad at all, and unless you are drag racing or serious track racer, then go for it. Otherwise you probably wont notice much if any difference. If you got the wallet, go for it.

 

17's look fine on an ITR, esp. a silver one!

Go for it ...

 

rubbing issues?

what size tire do you want to run?

 

i always thought they looked a little too big on the integra. You will have wayyyyy more tire choices, that is a good thing. About them not being much slower, you will DEFINITELY be able to tell you have 17's on. I can feel the difference when I switch from lighter than OEM 16's to OEM 15's. 15's do indeed feel quicker but this could be attributed to older more worn tire treads.

 

 

Thank for your honest opinions. I'm thinking about Advan Kreuzers V, DC5 ITR Wheels in silver or Gunmetal TE-37s.

 

Nothing wrong with 17's :D



But I'd stick to 16's with an ITR.

Exactly.

 

It looks perfect on the S2K. But on the ITR.......

 

16's look just about right on an ITR, but if you are hell bent on 17's, make sure they are a lightweight set.

 

Kreuzer V:

Wut he said. Personally I see no need to upgrade from the stock gunmetal 15's. But this is not about me...good quality and light weight 17's are pretty pricey

I rock 17's... they're lighter than the ls webs i had on.

 

What wheels are those?

Any integra with Kreuzer V?

 

Velox Vx6r (weight 14lbs) but they say it ways 16lbs.
