The wheel on my ITR ar erather nice but also rather puney. I would like to go up a bit maybe to 17inch.

I remember reading when they came out that they made it with small wheels so the tyre did most of the damping.

If I go up a size will it make the ride too harsh?

If not could I fit the wheels ofd a Civic type R?

You could go to 16's (I think the later jap DC2's had 16's), the point about the integra isn't outright grip but its balance, loose that and the car is ruined IMHO. Ask on the honda r forums.

Yes, having chatted to a bunch of ITR peeps at last years Japfest, I noted the lack of aftermarket wheels and asked them.

Basically they felt that the stock wheels were perfectly suited to the car, and changing the size/rubber profile ruined the handling.

They also said that to get the best handling, the pressure and tyre make/model was rather critical. A couple of PSI out and you can really tell....

Seen an ITR with civic wheels fitted, looked nice but not special m8

There are wheels that suit it better on the market m8.
