They looked really good but they are hard as hell to turn under 20mph. If i ever wanted to lower it i couldn't with 17's lol. Almost scrubs.

Liar. Granted I have a hatch...it's not far off from the sedan. I had 17's. Sold them to Joey. But I was sittin' about 2inch drop in the front, and about 2.5 in the rear. I rolled the lips under in the back, and the front just barely scraped when there was excess weight on that wheel. Skunk2's/KYB AGX FTW. If you like the look and can deal with the turning (easily done by gaining muscle...) I'd go for it.

[Whiteboy™]

lol, but they aren't mine :) and i definitely don't have money for some.

Man it looks good with those wheels. I had a hatch that was dumped with 17's and they just barely rubbed. Also, is your 4dr an dx or lx. You can find an lx at a junkyard and just add power steering.

i personally think 17's are overkill BUT its not my car and if YOU like it, thats what matters since YOU are the one having to drive it

i feel the same, i just wanted to see what it would look like the biggest i would go is 16's

All the JDM folks doubt my 17s for being heavy, too big etc but I still do damage on HWY pulls!! Your MPH will be higher & since all the weight is already moving it seems quicker at rolling speeds

There's nothing wrong with 17's. Since everyone is on this JDM/Sleeper/Race look people riding on 17's get dissed. If you wanna rock 17's do it!

they look good.

buy em from your friend.

I like 'em...I say go for 'em. The only reason I switched to the 15's is cuz I needed something less weight, and wanted somethin' a LITTLE more comfortable...and I got a good deal. I was shooting for 16's, but the deal on the 15's was unbeatable.

hey whiteboy, do u still have jeff's old rims or did u sell them already?

[BTLFED]

LOL at all you people. I had 17s on my CRX and was tucking tire in the back, WITH camber kits and WITHOUT rolling the lip on the rear. You people need to learn offsets.
