18's biggest, 17's best. 17's are the best for you have GREATtire selection littleside wall but still enough to wherewhen you hit a pebble you dont jar your teeth and have alot less rotatingmass andweight.

 

I agree that the optimal is 17 if one doesn't plan to lower the car. 18s, if lowered otherwise the look is like a grasshopper ready to pounce!!!!! Anything more would require too much suspension mods to have a desirable look and ride. Then there's the wheel weight also to consider. 17x9 front and 17x10 rear is what I prefer, with OEM offset if at all possible. Even 35mm offset would work well.

 

i say 17's even with lowered car.

 

Agreed. BTW, does one really gain measurable (or rather, useful) RWHP with only a POP charger at the intake, without exhaust mods? I find it hard to understand how that would be possible. Just one of the mods I've been thinking about.

 

turbo cars thrive for more air flow in and out. so any exhaust and intake mods that flow better than stock will yield pretty generous HP.... compared to NA cars. with a full intake and full exhaust id imagine you could wrestle up 30 hp. then get an ECU re-flash and your claimed to make about 400 at teh crank

 

If you take a look at my gallery there is one pic with the advan wheels.
It's one of the last uploaded gallery's

The same wheels as on this: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...7GGLR%26sa%3DN

Thanks snw. I just got my Stillen catalogue today and, though I profesed to not be the mod type for this car, I still think some moderate mods will do to get rid of the darn Honda Products that seem to cloud my tale as of late!!!!!!! I'm pretty much stealth in everything I do and don't care much for flash and you captured exactly what my intentions are for this car. The only other upgrade I'd seriously consider would be the underdrive pulleys along with the shorter belts. All said, in 4 years I'd probably be at 400RWHP and hopefully a few HPs above whatever Civics/Accords/Preludes would be out there in 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i wouldnt order from stillen unless i absolutely had to. you can find the same parts elsewhere for cheaper.

 

Thanks for the tip. I thought they were pretty steep on pricing compared with other outlets that I have lookd at. Is their quality that better?

 

nope. its just their prices. most of the products they sell they just slap their logo on

 

yup ^^^^ they just steal it from japan. for exhaust sebring/labree or HKS. pop charger for intake. Z1 for downpipes. thats what i would do.
