EP3 Type R 17's or DC5 Type R 17's?

berlinas2k2 · 04-03-2007, 02:17 AM

Taffeta White SI Sedan needs some shoes that will fit properly without clearance issues, and i'd rather keep it oem look. I'm torn between the EP3 Type R 17's (in white or gray), or the DC5 Type R 17's (in white or gray)...

I do however like both sets in Gray for the simpleness of cleaning...since the white wheels seem to get dirty almost instantly after driving even 2 blocks...

DC's
WHITE

SILVER

EP's
WHITE

GRAY NOT PICTURED...

The car:

(sorry im a sucker for angled shots...)

Go with the DC5-R's. The EP3-R's suck....

drfters13 · 04-03-2007, 02:35 AM

dc5 R's in silver

I'm a big fan of the white on white, but with the pain-in-the u know what for cleaning them all the time, im out.

COLOR PEEPS!!?
Someone photo chop these on 2006exsedan's ride. He has some better side shots than i do haha :)

**Tim** · 04-03-2007, 02:47 AM

I think I've seen the silver on white though. It looks better than the championship white would.

berlinas2k2 · 04-03-2007, 02:49 AM

the DC5's white is a lot brighter white huh...

**Tim** · 04-03-2007, 02:51 AM

No, they're both championship white.

yes both ep3 and dc5 wheels are championship white .. but that does not match taffy white perfectly .. there is a difference in color and you can tell

**Tim** · 04-03-2007, 03:06 AM

I wouldn't use photoshop to get pictures of Type R's.

berlinas2k2 · 04-03-2007, 03:06 AM

**Tim** · 04-03-2007, 03:10 AM

mort has the DC5 Type R's on his FG2.

berlinas2k2 · 04-03-2007, 03:13 AM

If i remember correctly from reading that old thread (i forgot about that one), didnt he have to use some kind of spacer? (i could be wrong, just can't remember) Isnt the DC5 rim a +45 offset?

MORT...Where are you?
