If this is gear totally toward street, and you dont mind being slower, then go with some 17's, if you really dont slowing your DC5 down, get the 18's ....but personally i wouldnt.

Tires will rape you, and you have to watch for every bump and pothole. And the looks are ....eh ...

make sure you get hub centric rings for your rims if they are universal. You'll know if you need them when your car starts vibrating after 40mph at different speeds.

18s will look very big especially if you slam your car

Go with some 17'' wheels 18'' is too big.
Pick a classy wheel though. Don't go and get some cheapo wheel that will make the car look lame.

i honestly think 18s loook perfect on RSX's i have a set of VOLK Le37 on my TYPE S and it looks perfect. not to low but no wheel gap. I also have the factory kit on my Type S so it makes my car look bulkier. RSX are fat bitches compared to Integras
