I agree...that is my situation now as well.

ctr stockies are 17"
perform and look good.

I think I might be the only one, but I think small packages, like our Ep3

Im gettin 18"s, because, uh, i want em... These ones have less tire than stock (well, less weight than stock tire) and the wheel weighs less than the stock wheel. All in all, the circumfrence it very close to stock, so it should not affect performance much...

just will ride rough as f@ck... watch out for rough roads. i bent 3 outta 4 rims just on rough roads.... :(

Welcome Miranda.

Where in NY are you located ? I am trapped on staten island with type x. Personally I would go with 15's or 16's. I bent 2 17's on my last car from hitting a pothole. Had a blowout too. Not good when driving 70mph on the highway. Go with 16's to avoid this. We all know how bad NY roads are.

Good luck

were those 17" you mentioned forged or cast?

[FckdUpPup]

they were 17" ADR DV8's I would say they were cast but am not exactly sure. Anyone know the answer to this ? Either way I bent one so bad I lost air and the other one I cracked and had a blowout. Not cool man.

I found these to be quite appealling




a virtual direct clone of those used on the EP3 Civic Type-R but in 4-lug PCD-100 configuration

We got you the first time :D When it comes to size I like 15's and 17's, wouldn't go any bigger. If someone was rolling on 18's and they were clean, not to much bling. Then I don't see how that is rice IMO.
