The other day i was cruzing and saw 2 dc-5's (RSX), both stock but one was a base n the other was type s... LONG STORY SHORT... base modle got SMOKED but the type s.. WOW... AFTER THAT "LEGAL-FUN" the S owner offered to TRADE RIMS, my 05' (10 spokes) for 02' (the five spokes).

ANY COMMENTS? I personally like the idea, they "LOOK" hfp-ish on CIVIC'S than STOCK on a dc-5

It'd be fun to get to rock new wheels :D
Since they have less surface area, they'll look good painted :D

I just found a set of cheap 5 lug RSX 16's from someone on this site. I was just going to paint them and use them as winter wheels until I realized that the RSX wheels weigh only 16.5lbs compared to my stock 25-26lbs.!! Now I want the RSX wheels for summer Auto-X wheels. I was going to paint them but I got an offer to powdercoat for $40 each. I'm dropping off the wheels tomorrow. I'm guessing 40 less pounds of un-sprung weight should make a noticeable performance difference. I can't wait to see! They should look pretty good in metallic gunmetal gray as well.
