Standard 18" or Rage 19"s

montymole1 · 13th July 2007, 10:23

Guy's, I wondering if you can all help me out of a dilemar !

I am placing my order with honda, And just cant decide on weather to stay with the standard alloys or go for the 19" rages ?

I am just a little concerned that the 19" may make the ride way to hard or the alloys buckle easily ?

can anyone out there re-asure me that the 19" drive ok and dont buckle to easy ?

I have to say that the 19" rages do look awsom...but is it worth it ?

I live in a City where roads are like 70 years ago

.
I still manage to drive the car with the 19". Of course don't expect to be a confortable ride.
If you live in UK I think you will not have such a big problem

montymole1 · 13th July 2007, 13:25

yeah i do live in the uk, and do a lot of m6 driving, i have owned 2 typre r's before and love the stiff ride....it's just that if a pot hole is hit i hope they dont buckle to easy ?

and i have a golf gti mk5 at the mo wich is a lot softer...i think i mite just risk it as they do look wicked !

You gotta get the Rage

montymole1 · 13th July 2007, 14:43

ok i take your point but has anyone buckled them ?

Tzn · 13th July 2007, 14:43

I regret not getting Rage

MoOriginal · 13th July 2007, 14:49

i think to buckle a rage is going to be very hard there are as many spokes at the normal alloys and they are equally as strong of course

Id say look carefully there are 2 ctr in my road with nice shiny alu 18's and i do look over at them and covet them sometimes

montymole1 · 13th July 2007, 15:43

yeah... i think your right....looks like the 19's are winning me over

kamshaft · 13th July 2007, 16:00

I would stick with the standard 18", as i've got 18" storms on my civic i find them a bit bumpy and really noisy on certain roads. i think the 19" would make it alot worse.

RafTypeR · 13th July 2007, 17:49

What about some aftermarket wheels? I havent noticed any difference in ride quality betwee 18 and 19 to be honest, tried some 20's and they were terrible, really crashy ride.

These cost me £1100 inluding tyres so not much more than the rages

hey raf ** wheels look sick check them brakes out nice

Love the wheels big improvement to the Rages (don`t know if its just me but the Rages do nothing for the look of the type R)

nice wheels, those look like split rims so should be very stong....

sound like no one has buckled the rages... or they would have said !

czechplastik · 14th July 2007, 17:05

But yes - given the choice, Rage
