I agree, I think the 18's are too big for integras. The biggest you can go without looking awkward are 17's.

 

Don't hate on me guys, i like honda's too, but i own a VW. here are pics of my 17" rims. And yes..i'm getting it dropped soon, haha. 1 3/4 drop to be exact. and since i got that pic taken, i also have smoked lights now.

 

A couple of my buddies have 18s on thier integras and they dont have any problems. But they both have full body kits. If you aint gonna roll with a body kit I would stick with 17s

 

i wouldn't recommend it.....

 

my freind just got some velox vx8 in 17s on a teg and those look TOOOOO big already.
but my rota formel 17s looks too small on my accord

 

do you guys think the tires will wear
faster?

 

That always depends on what tires you get and your driving habits.

 

to 18"

 

IMO, you should go with 17's and just drop your car(if it isn't dropped already).
but yes...go with the 17's

 

its already dropped. but im gonna go
with my instinct on this one and get the 17's.
thanks for the input guys.

 

Copy from another one of my posts:

I had 17" white konig verdicts (21.4lb's) on my integra when I started driving it (mounted them before I got insurance.. so never drove on stock rims at first).. they looked amazing (kinda big.. but I liked a flashy car then)..

However I had to hang onto the steering wheel for dear life whenever there were any imperfections in the road, and constantly look out for potholes.. The 40 series tire HATED shitty roads.

Then, I put on the stock rims for winter... and let me tell you, my car was SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER.. ****, I couldn't even chirp second with the konig's (99 LS).

Handling with the 17's was slightly better because they were wider and had a nice tire on them... but I can FEEL that my car just LOVES the 15's... the suspension has less work now, the car is faster, the steering wheel is smoother.. If they were the same width as the 17's and same tire..... LOOK OUT!

A week after having the 15's on, I sold my 17's.. best decision ever!

Got a set of slipstreams in my garage waiting for spring time.. 16X7


Recap:

18" =
17" =
LIGHT 17= (still a shitty 40 series rubber band tire.. so...)
16" =
LIGHT 16" =

this was PURELY from my experience, not affected by any trends or anything.

my friends got 18 inch konigs on his 93 integra and they look good, they dont look to big and they work fine for him as a daily driver, i say go for it

 

damn 18s on a G2. they don't look too big? does he have a kit or anything?

 

not yet, he is planning on getting one though

 

18" are a little to big for daily driven. You practically have no rubber. My brother had it on his 94 GSR and I could feel the difference when i drove his car (i have 16"). They look good, but every little whole you see yo have to be careful. here a pic

 

little help.... thoes are some rubber bands

DENJCA29 - That is one strange purple... Volkswagens rule though

AVD23 - I need 17" wheels for my Talon because of my brake upgrade, I'm swapping the wheels it came with (22.7 pounds) for some Kosei Racings (16.3 some pounds) though, I wanna get SSR Type-Cs later on though. So does that mean I'm still because I need them for my brakes?

In a Honda, largest I would go would be 16s, I would try to stay with 15s though because of weight, your best bet... Spoon 15" wheels! 8 pounds baby! But can you afford it at 375 per?

If you are going for looks who cares. If you want to go fast anything bigger than 16" will slow you down. There are some physics and rotational mumbo jumbo that explains the size and rotation equation. Anyways......... You get the idea.

im just gonna go with the 17's. i have an 95 ls and
the only mod that is worth buying to go fast is turbo.
So im just going for looks right now cuz i cant afford
turbo.

 

Definately not!.. I was referring in particular to Integras.. I believe Talon's have a larger wheel well, so you could actually (and its probably recommended.. sorry don't know much about dsm's) fit a 45 series tire on your 17's quite nicely - getting rid of alot of the problems you'd have with a 40 series tire..

Kosei K1's = .. very light 17" wheel.. good choice. But what color?
