If the weather tomorrow night is better than right now, which it should be, I'll probably swing by planet zero around 9 or so, same time next Saturday if you want to meet up.

didnt wanna make a new thread.. so ima ask in here..
what you guys prefer 17's or 18's?
im stuck on choosing the size's

 

[Winnn420]

I went with 17's for a few reasons...main reason was I found a great deal on my used TE37's, going with 18's would have made it sit a tiny bit higher than 17's and I want it low, and I was able to use my shitty yet brand new stock tires on my new wheels. I'm happy with how it looks. I'm sure you'll be happy with either one.

Which wheel are you thinking about getting?

 

[trung09]

I thought about the same thing and decided on 17"s to ride quality. Ultimately it comes down to cosmetics (looks) versus performance (ride quality)

of the wheels you listed I think the XXR 527's would look the best.

yeaht those wheels looks sick! if i get them i might get them in chrome black

 

[Winnn420]

that would look very nice! I had some black chrome 5zigens on my 07 RX8...I liked the look a lot, little bit of shine yet not so much as regular chrome.

you should do a build thread, we can discuss all your option there and you can document your progress...and that way we don't overload the 9th gen rim thread with pages of discussion.

 

[trung09]

yeah true.. but ill see wassup when i have the money for rims. lol

will these fit ? and say im dropped on h&r sports?

it'll clear your brakes/suspension but your wheel will be 1.5 inches further out towards the fender.

 

[trung09]

damn.. i really dont know much.. but.. will rolling the fenders be good??
i really like those wheels.. but if its touch the fender i might as well get 17x7

 

[webby]

Personally, I would go with a narrower rim/higher offset with a drop. You could roll fenders, stretch tires, add camber...it's all a matter of what you want to do.

I went with 17's as well for the same reason... the Work wheels I picked were quite hard on my budget so I wanted to be able to reuse the stock tires in the meantime since they're essentially brand new. Can't wait til they get here next week!

P.S. I had 19's on my RSX-S in the beginning (came on the car when I bought it) and I would never reccomend them to anyone with a sport compact! Too little sidewall in the tires to make em fit nicely, bought the car as-is with one blown tire already and blew another one within the first week on a pothole. I switched over to 17's pretty quick.
