Default Will This Setup Work?

I want to get the Rotora Big Brake Kit. However, it won't fit with the stock 15" ITR Rims. How badly will DC5 ITR 17" wheels, or DC2 JDM ITR 16" wheels change my car's performance?

well, mostly to stand out a bit.

everyone seems to have brembo, endless, aem, etc (y'know, the popular ones). rotora isn't seen very often. i just want to be a bit unique.

I upgraded to 17" Work Emotions on my R, and I believe it slowed me down quite a bit. I installed a header and exhaust on the car also and I ran a tenth slower at the track with the 17's. If you want to stand out try Spoon calipers plus I believe they will fit your 15's. Maybe even save a little $.

that's why i'm sticking with factory wheels, type-r to boot!

anyone know what the weight difference would be from dc2 15" itr to dc5 17" itr wheels?

Not a big fan of Rotora, considering they live down the street from my parents' house...always gunning their cars up and down :/

Their stuff is made in Taiwan, shich makes quality kinda of...varied individually.
