I'm thinking of buying a Black Integra Type-R, and upon purchasing it, I would like to put a set of 18x8 Black Speedline Corse Type 2017 Wheels on it. Would these be too big? If so, what other wheels would you reccomend? Thanks for your time...

the type R suspension is set up for a fifteen inch wheels so I would Not go over a 16
I had 17s on it at one time and my gas mileage went to crap and it didnt handle so good
so unless you want a show car or something I wouldnt recomend putting a wheel that big on it
(if you want a show car you should have just got a GSr and put stickers on it)

aside from the performance aspect, I've never really liked large rims...too big and your wheels start too look like bicycle tires.
Don't you think the stock rims look nice as they are? I love my Championship White rims with the Acura logo in the center...

Wow, for a sec I thought it was Ken (Black R on h-t) asking about 18s! :lol:
Personally I think 18s on an ITR borders on craziness..I think 16 would be as large as I would go. However I believe Realtime uses 17s on their race cars so maybe they know something I dont...

Realtime only has twelve inch discs, because that is all that their series allows. 16's would work. However with a properly tuned suspension, 17's are great, you just need more tire than a 205/40. They run 225/45 which helps put more tread(usable) to the ground. Just a thought to play with!
