Hi, I just want a quick opinion, I have a Integra VTiR Dark Blue. Now I am getting a set of rota slipstreams, what color rota would you all recon would look the best? And one other thing, is 16" better than 15"?
Cheers

Polished :thumbsup:
Also you cant just ask if 16" are better then 15"
Are you tracking it? Do you like bigger wheels? Do you mind spending abit more on tyres?
So many variables.

I wont be going on to the track. I had 17" enkei's on it and they were too big, I guess 16". Are tyres more expensive for the 16"?

Yes generally the larger the tyres the more exspencive.
I have 17" on mine and I think they are great.

It's really you're opinion.
At the end of the day, you're looking at your own car and what you like.
Not on what other people like.

Exactly, dont buy car stuff to please others.
Buy it to please yourself.

I dont know if they come polished tbh.
I would polish them myself, so pleasing seeing a finished product.

For performance wise in grip is what is the difference between 16" and 15", if the have the same rubber?

Black or Bronze! Would look HOT!!!
I have tried 15's, 16's and 17's on my DC2R.
IMO 15's are best for performance, turn in is much better, and I don't think they are too small. I use 15's for trackwork. Also there are greater range of tyres available for this size rim, and tyres are cheaper.
I use 16's on the street. TBH, it's hard to find some tyres in this size (Semi's in particular). More bumpy than the 15's. Perfomance wise, they are good... but still 15's are much better. 16's look better though IMO.
17's... Crap. That's all I can say. look too big, and all handling and comfort is compromised.
Just my 2c... hope that helped.
