Got my tax return back and decided to get some 17 inch Konig Incidents Black with polished lip. Also went to the junk yard and got a master power window switch and a window molding for my baby.
Its depressing going to a junkyard and seeing all those da’s piled on top of each other… man… poor cars…
these da’s are gonna be classics someday.
Not my kind of wheels, if you’re happy that’s greeeeeeeeeeeat (tony the tiger voice). Any reason why you chose those wheels and how much did you get them for?
they were 105 each
i had some 17 inch Niche Shox Chrome wheels on previously, but the fronts cracked and wouldn’t hold air.
i like the look of 5 star spoked rims on da’s
17 inch konig incidents
:bang: Just had to be from seattle didnt ya… Car looks good, should have definitely gone with some different rims though.
I had 17’’ at one point. The car sat up way to high and so i lowered it and got bad tire rub. I could not even make a U turn even if i pulled the E break doing it. So i got 16’’ and never looked back. But if you like them,that’s all that matters. The car’s nice but IMO,the rim’s are way to much.
…?
Quick question… What is up with the recent movement to smaller rims? I personally think the 17’s are perfect for g2’s… now if i was rockin 18’s, id understand the criticism, its not like ur gonna be drifting in ur front wheel drive integra anyway. so why does it matter it ur wheels rub when you do an ebrake turn?
just wondering…

I’m not criticizing you at all and I’m sorry if i made you feel like i am. I was only saying what my experiences was when i had 17". My tires rubbed like hell and was hard to turn. That has nothing to do with your rims. Different offsets make a big difference in if the tire will rub or not. I’m just saying (IMO) that the rims look a little to much for the car,that’s all. You want our opinion right? So why get all butt hurt when we give it? That’s all:)
nice, but i rock 16’s too. i couldnt imagine going bigger.

No, 17s are not perfect for g2s. Do you understand plus sizing tires? When you gain an inch in rims, you are supposed to subtract that from the tire sidewall so you don’t throw off all of your gauges and your braking.
An inch pretty much equals out to 10mm, so if you take the stock size - 195/60 14…and you put a 15" rim on, your tires should be 195 or 205/50…you usually add to the width to make up for the loss in the sidewall.
But whatever. I would never go over 16" because at that point you’re at 40mm tires which are thin as hell. My last 2 sets were 16s and this summer I ordered 15s.

lol believe me, im far from being butthurt. I appreciate the opinions, i’m just used to having 17’s on it because that’s what were on it when i bought it.

hmmmm. sounds legit.
not feelin those rims at all, btw
i’ve seen 17’s on DA’s that didn’t look half bad. it’s the design that kills it for me
I think only the 92-93 GSR will be the only DA/DB being a desired classic in several years.
And… I agree with everyone else on the wheels.
10mm = 1 inch isn’t EXACTLY right. Your gauges will still be off by like .03% or something. It’s much closer than say, 55 or 45 series (if you had 15s).
the series isn’t actually measured in millimeters. it’s a percentage of the width of the tire. 55 series would be 55% of the width
I’m rockin’ :rockon: 215-35-18 with very little tire rub, unless I go too fast on a u-turn. I would really rub with 225-40-18.
omg.
wow… and they said MY rims were huge.
big rims…on da = 4x4 status…i looks like it has a lift kit on it…
17’s look good on DA’s… just not those ones.
U knw there r these things that come with “rice” mufflers that u stick into them called Silencers. Not fartin around. They are also smaller than u think.

i’m not normally one to rip on somebody’s post but, that’s the worst explanation i’ve ever read…
“plus sizing” - refers to increasing wheel diameter, while decreasing the aspect ratio of the sidewall to remain as close as possible to the overall diameter of the stock tire.
10mm=1 inch… wrong. 25mm=1inch
quick lesson… take a 205/40R17
205= section width in millimeters. measured across the widest part of the sidewall on a properly inflated and loaded tire
40= aspect ratio. sidewall height expressed as the percentage of the section width. i.e. 40% of 205= 82mm tall sidewall
R= radial constuction
17= wheel diameter
195/60R14= 23.2" overall diameter
195/45R15= 21.9" overall diameter
195/50R15= 22.7" overall diameter
205/50R15= 23.1" overall diameter
205/40R16= 22.5" overall diameter
205/40R17= 23.5" overall diameter
out of all the “common” aftermarket tire sizes, the 205/40R17 is the closest to the stock diameter after the 205/50R15
“No, 17s are not perfect for g2s” - that’s all a matter of opinion. i have 17s on my DA and think they look fine.
like i said, not really trying to rip on you, just wanted to make sure the correct info is being given. and please stop trying to push personal opinion as fact.
