For whatever the old guy's opinion is worth, I think 17's is a little much for the ITR.

I tend to agree that 17 looks too big on a R for Some ODD REASON.

I have 17's on my Civic and it's fine, but 15's on the R looks Right. I do think 16's would be better but that's IT :!:

I think 17" will look right, just have to find some that match up.

I was thinking about getting some 17" Konig Traffics in solid black...

17's are fine as long as they don't bring down the performance of the vehicle (which many do very well)...........just remember, if you trade performance for bling, you're nothing but a damn ricer. :evil:
