DC2 Max Rim Size

I had 17's and now have 16's. If I had the choice I'd still go 17".

Go 18's!! like meeeh! :D

wouldn't 18's increase the outter circumference size, hence being illegal? Unless you got 5 low profiles la

lol had 18's before, didnt like them much. scrubbed the guards a little when hitting bumps, also made the steering wheel vibrate when at high speeds.

if weight is not an issue... 17"s....... u'll regret 16"s.

my 2cents.

hey and Scandrew im also a PGA member :wave:

Scrub yes.... but i guess thats what you sacrifice for looks.
vibration at high speed = buckled rims, Alignment or Balancing,
i dont get any vibrations at all..

yeah thats why im asking around because i was having second thoughts about 16's

I had 17x7 on my DC2R and was so happy to go back to the stock 15" rim. I had slight rubbing at full lock but that was due to incorrect offset.

The biggest problem with 17's for me was that performance-wise the car's just not designed for them. When driving over bumps, especially while accelerating, the steering wheel gets jerked violently out of your hand. On a spirited drive through the national park I actually got a sore right arm from this alone!

At wakefield, the extra inches didn't help me. I was able to match my time on the 17s on the 15s -- so much for "performance" rims. The rims werent super-lightweight but they were pretty light, expensive ones.

Having said all that, the car (all cars) looked better with bigger rims! So if you care about looks over handling performance, IMO go for it, you should be happy with the result. But if you're into track events or spirited mountain drives, you might like to stick with 15" or compromise with 16".

i currently have 17" wheels on my car.
But am looking for a set of 16's..

17' is good !dont go 18'

i have 18s with 215/35s on them, can full lock both ways, doesn't scrub, ride is smooth (and its engineered so it can be done legally)
you'll regret it later if you get just 17s
