Like i said, the 17's Work rims were on my car for just 2 hours before i swapped them for 16's :)
Personally, i am all about car's handling and performance and a DC2R is exactly that.

wow... interesting responses...
from what i recall, i only asked for pics - not opinions about 'handling' / 'performance'...
anyway seriously guys, they are 'honda DC5R rims' not some shitty chrome useless rims. And considering the jdm dc2r came with stock 16's, i don't see how 17's would be so detrimental to handling... from what i know, a shit set of tyres & an extra passenger would make the handling worse - no? its not like you can drive so fast on the roads to really appreciate the type R's setup anyway (and i haven't been on track - and don't see myself going any time soon).
anyway thanx for the pics chargR- i was hoping for a more side on view to really see what they looked like...
17's is much worse then having an extra passenger IMO. However... having a good set of tyres is very important. But, are you going to be stretching tyres, and having heaps of Neg camber to put the 17's on. This is what will give you shitty handing.
There are some roads where you can enjoy the Type R's, or any cars characteristics on the road (at speed limit) - OPH, and some mountain passes.
i agree with VTEMACHINE regarding shitty handeling, as i had fn2 civic type r 18's on my dc2r and it handled crap, it looked good for show, but not good for anything else....
but hey lets give the guy a break, if its what he likes then go for it and enjoy it
Those are my old rims....lol......got them repaint b4 I swap with him and he just put all those gutter mark on it......:(........the car is sold btw.....:pQuote:

no spacers required????
As I have read they are 17 x 7 +60 offset……
i have had fn2r 18s on my car to big i had to use spacers cause i was scruubing then i went down to honda accord euro two spoke wheels 17 inch they werent to bad for handling and they were light to but still on full lock got rubbing without the spacers, then went down to the 15 inch aus spec wheels thats when u really feel the performace of the acutal car and the real potentioal of the actual vechielce at the moment im running jap spec 16 inch on my car still handle like gold but rubber is low so ill be going back to the 15 inch , u will notice a dramtic change in power n handling with bigger wheels
