Same as 18's IMO. Too big for the car. Heavy too.

[04blackMAX]

to heavy, u guys are funny, its like u drive an all carbon fiber car, and cant risk the extra few pounds....i mean if your looking to save weight drop your spare, no stereo and so on.....ive had 17,18, and 19 on my car, and i didnt noice a difference at all when i went from 17-18..id go 18's..

[del-lude]

get 18's, they fit nicely on the del sols.:thumbsup:

[civic_rida]

Nope thats not me. My del sol is blue but I have 18's on and they fit nicely. Like VSMSIR said, I can't feel any difference switching from 17's to 18's. The only difference is 18's look alot better.
:D

:D NICE!!....How much of a drop do you have on the Del Sol with the 18's? Did you have to roll your fender? Any rubbing?? U have any pics you can post??

[04blackMAX]

there shouldnt be any rubbing with a 18x7 or 18x7.5, if you go show low then yeah better be safe and roll them, if your gonna ride with like a 2 inch drop should be ok

I have a 2 inch drop and no rolled fenders, no rubbing unless I pull a hard U-turn then the inside of the wheel slightly rubs the inner rubber trim but other than that no rubbing what so ever.

18s fit with out any problems unless youre going with a large drop but with power loss I only noticed with 19 inch wheels 18 inch were pretty much my fav when it came to sizing and drivability

Additional rotating mass has a far greater effect on performance than removing stationary mass from inside the car.

yes, there is a noticeable difference.

but IMO 18's are too big for a del sol

[T5_X]

18s in a del sol = hello tramlining!!!!

What does this mean?:dunno:

[T5_X]

car will be steered by the grooves in the road. Very annoying on light front drive cars with large diameter rims with wide, low profile tires.

[variable_x]

17 and 18 inchs have a huge difference. Go to race city and find out. You will be suprised at how much difference they have!!

[04blackMAX]

race city, please, most of you people drive your car 90% of the time on calgary streets, 17 to 18 might make a fraction of a second difference at race city, but your not gonna notice it on the streets, fuk you people are too funny with your extra weight crap...cracks me up

Just because you don't care about your 19's sucking up 50% of what little available torque you have doesn't mean everyone shouldn't care. And for the record, switching from 17s to 18s, or even 16s to 17s, makes more than "a fraction of a second" difference. Never mind the fact that all the extra unsprung weight kills ride quality and suspension response. Take your car to the track sometime and see exactly how much time your bling blingin' rims are costing you. If you actually pay attention to how your car performs, you WILL notice the difference, even on the street. But hey, as long as the car looks fast that's all that's important, right? :rolleyes:

[Blue Devil 2]

yeah but if your not at the track worrying about seconds, than why not drive on the streets with 19's?

[04blackMAX]

ohhh yeah most of you are sooo hardcore, i mean if your contemplating getting 17's or 18's and are worried about that extra what 25-30 pounds, lose your spare. Why have a stereo....fuk why have back seats, or any interior for that matter, come on shave an extra milla-second of your ever so impressive time.

ohhh and why would i care how much time iam loosing with my so called "bling-bling" rims, so what your gonna make it to safe way 3.5467 seconds faster hahahah whooopppdeee doooooo

[Importz]

LOL.......Here is a pic of my car with 18's personally I like looks more then speed....Remember speed kills!!:thumbsup:

[04blackMAX]

wow man thats really nice, glad u went with 18's, to bad your not as hardcore as most of the peeps on this board hahahaha..wicked del sol man nicest in the city

dude...some people just want more performance than looks.

Its fine whether you want looks or performance, but why do you have to be such an ass about it?

[boi-alien]

looks good, you'll be glad you went with 18s for looks! :thumbsup:

I was keeping my posts civilized, trying to straighten out the continued gross lies you spew, talking about how little impact on performance bigger wheels have(more than removing weight from the interior, a point I made earlier you missed, or just ignored) and you start acting like some kind of hard core gangsta wannabe. Just reading your subsequent posts reduced my IQ to the point where anything more cerebrally challenging than a knee jerk response and drooling on myself was an impossibility. Well congratulations, you the most hard core playa on the street y0. If you have something useful to contribute to the argument, go ahead and add it in something resembling english, instead of opening your mouth and showing everyone what an ignorant, immature and narrow minded person you really are.

[04blackMAX]

lol, u make this site soo much fun, the snake and the mudhole thing cracked me up.

and this can be a never ending argument. Your all go (hardcore) iam not man, id prefer show, since most cars are used on local roads, why not be show. And i never claimed my car was fast nor was i trying to make it look fast, its actually kinda sluggish with the 19's but id prefer that over having 17's.

Man sure Imade a immature remark, what u can make fun and I cant, did I hit a nerve??

[three.eighteen.]

this is retarded, u guys obviously hail from 2 different "schools" of car modification...one looks, the other race practicality...personally, i like a nice comprimise between the 2 works...4wheeldrift purchased a car for the sole purpose of real racing, are you gonna tell him to slap 20" rims on his stang so he can look better dodging cones?
...vsm you're civic is mostly show, you have an aluminum spoiler (not a flame) that is obviously non-functional and does not add to the performance of the car, your car looks good, if you dont care that another sir with similar performance mods and 17s will outrun you, thats cool too...

[hjr]

well at this point it is split 50-50, so it looks like your gonna have to make your own choice. But either way, it will be rocking! :D

[04blackMAX]

he did man look at the pic..he went with 18's

sorry. my bad.
