Default dc5 17inch or mugen mf10 16x7

dunno what to do.
can get a set of dc5 white rims in 7x17 5 lug with 205-40-17 for about ~ 1300 dollars - new tires. or 215-35-17 new tires for ~ 1400 dollars

or

can get a used mugen mf10 set bronze in 7x16 with used 195-45-16 tyres. price 1700 euros.

what shall i do?

the mugen will bring a bit more performance i think, and bigger hole in purse...

the dc5 will look quite nice but ll take some speed away. 250 km/h it ll go with both wheels cause the dc5 ones are about 2.6 kg lighter than the ****** venoms. the muges just will be 40 % lighter....

Why such skinny tires on the Mugen wheels?

I'd go with the 16" Mugen wheels, who woulda guessed

Mugens will be waaaaaay lighter that the 17"s

16" MF-10 = 11.1 lbs

17" OEM = ???

I agree--get Mugens. DC5 rims belong on DC5's.

the Mugen MF10s...one of the best purchases, if not THE best purchase i ever made for #510.

besides, why settle for "stock" wheels that are more ubiquitous?.

hmm okay the dc 5 wheels are out....

the mugens are very expensive and i saw a pic of tyres. more than half worn. and than the high price.

too much for now i think

can also get a set of dc2 jdm 16 wheels, which cant be bought in germany or europe.

thinking to get them for cheap. about 800 incl shipping to me. then 4 new tyres. would like paradas but paradas are just till 240 km/h .... kinda slow for autobahn....
