Small for performance big for looks.

Smaller rim = less unsprung weight, less inertia, lighter tires.

Take F1 for instance...the rims is just big enough to clear the brakes.
I don't see them putting on 20 inchers.

Big is for bling.

Jup its mostly for the bling, but what about stability issues?

lighter is the main key for me

ps: You don't have to buy a CR-Z for its performance

Stability? Small rims don't mean less in width if that is what your referring to.
You can go as wide as you can. For street..i would go 215's.

well if your going really small then the tyre wwould have to have a bigger sidewall. that naturally would mean more flex and less "stability"

but then again i don't think that that would be a big problem. as long as you don't use like 14 in rims =p

so overall i think if you use a decent size rim with sort of a low profile tyre, then it will give very good performance. the rim won't be too heavy and the sidewall won't be too big =]

i had an 04 ep3 i kept the stock rims on it... used tokico blues h&r springs (2 inch drop all around) and spc camber kit and it looked so sexy. the crz is a hatch.. so id say if they are stock 16 ... stay 16 or go +1 max... but thats just my 2 cents... it also depends on wheel gap and the over all look that your trying to get. ... if i had crz id drop it just like the ep ... make it sit nice and low... =)

Here in UK standard size is 16", the extra-cost alloys are 17" (and gorgeous).

SpoonCrz · 07-01-2010, 03:24 PM

Anyone know the offset of the 16inch and 17inch?
