Hey guys,
I am looking for rims at the moment and cant decide between 17" or 16". If anybody has a pic of their dc2 with 16" rims on it I would love to see em, and if anybody has 16" buddy club p1's that would be even better.
Cheers,
Javed

It depends what your looking to get out of the rims. If you want performance more than looks, then 16's is best. And you want more show style and fatter look then 17's is way to go.
By the way the difference in performance is so small bettween stock 15's to 17's. I had ITR stockies on and went to 17's DC5 JDM rims with Toyos and is much better all around.
Much better in wat way may i ask ?
coz i always thought 17" is a no no for dc2 :o
On track you will find that 16's are optimal for DC2's, personaly i like 17's because they look better and you "can" get better tracktion all around.
I can agree that 17's for DC2 is a no no, but if you upgrade your camber and/or bushes then its ok and in no way dangerous.
Sharik, I believe Javed owns a GSi, much different to your DC2R. :)
I bought my GSi with incredibly heavy (and ugly :)) 17" ROH rims on her. When I downsized to a set of OEM DC2 VTiR alloys (15"), the overall performance (torque, throttle response, brake response, handling...) increase was extremely noticeable IMO.
Perhaps the JDM DC5 rims you have on are quite lightweight due to the fact they are OEM items?
Javed, throw a set of BC P1s on...16" in the Gunmetal Ti colour...hehe :)
Not sure weather Javed is after performance with his Gsi?
I figured people with Vtir's focus more on speed and race handling..
If you are only going for looks then bigger the better :D
These are 18" Starcorp Concept 9's in shadow chrome on my Gsi. Fits fine after you get your guards rolled.
Hope it helps...

Is that a 94+ DC4 5poon? Hmm..looks quite alike to mine. Hope to catch you at a meet sometime.
Meanwhile, something tells me young Javed is after some looks, but mainly performance. :)
hey 5poon, what suspension setup are u running in ur teg?
lol jone are you a psychic or something lol? hit the nail on the head, i want some looks but i dont wanna slow down my poor lil gsi any more, it would be a waste to throw on my jdm headers and dc2r catback and spoon axleback then weigh her down with wheels. The stereo has weighed her down enough already me thinks. Yeah i think i am keen on gunmetal 16" P1's, something about the P1's is just so damn sexy! :P
yeh go 16 p1's, performance and looks :D also bit better for the wallet....
I dont have access to any recent pics of my 95 Vtir from my work PC but here are some older shots with 16'sQuote:

Trying to push it to a Vtir?

Jon, tis a DC4 95 Gsi. Will be at the next meet :D
EG, that pic was with kmac springs which dumped my ride about 3 1/4"(had me riding my bumpstops.) Have since changed to Kings which is sitting closer to 2 1/2"s down.
Shocks are still stock but will change those in a few months.
