rims

[daniel_kim]

what size rims do u guys prefer for the DC5?

im having trouble deciding between 17s and 18s

[ChargeR]

17s for me; lighter, better looking, better tyre choice and all the brake clearance one will ever need. There is no reason to go 18s unless you like the aesthetics. I think 18s look too big and strange .

You are such a poser emo child.

Yeah 17s for sure.

17s more practical, 18s more show, i like my 18s though i think they go really well with the car.

17 for performance
18 for looks

And definately same colour for all 4 rims (or at least 2 same colour rim on one side of the car) or else ppl will think I am colour blind.

Certain tyre sizes for certain tyres don't come in 17"s

That being said, I prefer 17"s for the same reasons mentioned by ChargeR above.

get forged 18s and you can get performance + look lol

Downgrade to 15s for the ultimate performance

Thanks . I prefer the term hard parker though.

Okay if you want 300+mm section width tyres you pretty much have to go for 18s .

I resent the implications of this statement.

Most forged 18s weigh more than stock DC5R wheels and will have a larger moment of intertia considering that the mass of the wheel is further from the centre. My pretend forged 17x9.5s weigh less than my stock 16s .

Downgrade to 15s for the ultimate performance

There is only a very small selection of 15" wheels that fit over AUDM DC5R brakes sadly .
