The JDM RSX-S rims are 17's and look very hot on a dc.

 

For performance reasons and money 15s are the best to go with.
Many tires to choose from and rims, while at affordable prices.
16s are fine too but because of the lack of choices with tires it becomes a PIA.
17s are sometimes needed to clear some brake kits but over all a 17 tire weighs a decent amount and then 17inch rims are also heavy unless you are willing to spend money to get light weight. and the looks of a 17inch rims and tire just does nto appeal to me.

good luck.

I use a very simple setup for street and track
street- 15x 6.5Rota SS with MXs
track - 15x 7.0Kosei K1s with various Rcompounds- Now I'll be using RA1s and when they are done I have Victoracers

 

how about JDM 17" ITR Rims...wouldn't those be lighter weight?

 

Or any Oldsmobile or Chevy cars. Circa 1995 and older. BIGGAR IS BETTAR

 

I'm looking at some rims that the 17's weigh 22lbs but i'm looking at the 16's which it doesn't say how much the 16's wiegh. Is 22lbs a decent weight for 17's? Whats a good weight for 16's?

 

22lbs is freakin heavy

 

22 pounds? ****ing Christ

 

22lbs a wheel is horible for the car, much extra stress on the suspension and body.

if you can open this http://wheelweights.net/ take a look and try to get light weight rims.

As for rims that are "JDM" that only means Japanese Domestic Market- nothing else like strong or light.

If you read my post above you can see what type of rims I use. take a look at the weight of those.

 

Damn! Thats not what I wanted to hear. I'm actually looking at the 16's of that rim, there a six spoke gunmettal and I really like the way they look.

 

try not to exceed past the stock weight or it will result in un-needed wear and tare.
