17's or 18's

[SwiftyR]

Ok im in the market for a new set of rims.... now what size i figoured 16's would be 2 small and 19's would be too big so eithere 17's or 18's

[casperGSR]

personally.... I'd say get a set of 17's, 18's look nice on tegs but for some reason I think 17's look better on tegs then 18's do. It also depends on if you're going 'show' or 'go'... if you going for performance then you should stay away from 18's, if you're going for show then roll on 18's. Was any opinion established by the end of my reply??? I like 17's.

Im going for Alot of go and some show... so 17's it is woo hoo there cheaper too

[toolowintegra]

good choice on the 17's.......what kind are you considering?

[SwiftyR]

these .......

or....... which ones...

[kidrocket]

the second ones..
18s are too big for integras i think. Some kid has 18s on his 95 hatch civic, and it looks like it has a higher than stock ride height now. it used to be lowered

I could have gotten 18's on my teg....but for sheer drivability it was better to stick with the 17's. 18's wouldn't ride well on the roads here, because they are such bad quality.....and would be too bumpy....its already quite bumpy with the 17s, and its illegal to have rims bigger than 2 inch bigger than standard size here too.

In that case, just get yourself an additional set of lightweight 15/16's for racing use...you don't really want to be using those heavy ass 17/18's....but they look nice for the street.

I want it Show quality but i also wanna be able to kick some ricer boys ass too...... i REALLY like the racing Hart rims ( first pic)

[nittanys1]

I too like the second ones but if YOU like the first ones then go with them....not like im going to see you drivin around on them...you will,(and MAYBE a few others on this forum)

[M-type]

pick the first one, you can fit 18s but be warned, you're gonna need low profiles and those would wear out fast and they are also expensive

Swifty, Im getting 17" racing wheels (Kosei K1 16.3lbs) on Wednesday. Ill post pics as soon as I get them mounted.

Definately go with the 17's (as if that hadn't already been establishes, I just had to add it). I just put 17" TR Motorsports GK II on my 94' GS-R. Ride's a little more harsh with those 215/40/17's but hey, you can't beat the feel of a low profile tire. I included the pic. FYI, the center caps are on backorder from japan. On a side note, anybody know where I can order some red center caps?

on the pic below my integ is rollin on 18" c2 evo.. it look nice from the side but when u look at an angle from the front or back it looks kinda wierd. i say 16 or 17 is best.. and if u get 18 do not get 40 series tires haha.. stupid friend.. gave me wrong info. for a day or two my car sounded like it was farting all over the place.

plus its harder to find performance tires in 18"
