[cfoster]

Does any Honda Uk dealers supply the standard DC5 alloys or are they only available overseas??

Cheers

Check with your local Honda dealer and they should be able to source through their parts network.Just a few days if they come from Belgium,longer if from JP.

the standard DC5 Type R alloys are uselessly heavy. The LENSO MUSE 19 x 8J that i replaced are way lighter than the stock R 17s!!

i thought they were only 7kgs????

Stock DC5 17's are 8.65kg each. I switched to Rota Slipstream 16's to bring the weight down to 6Kg each. The trouble is, the weight you lose in alloy you gain in tyre weight (if you keep the same wall height). It's a shame tyre manufactures don't advertise the tyre weights too.

Yes they can

I run on 15" Team Dynanics on track and they clear my brembos.. JUST!!

What offsets are your 15" Pro-Race 1?
IIRC Jon had to use spacers with his 16" Slipstreams.

Hey Trung,

You can forget ordering Team Dynamic this century. They are bloody useless at supplying them. Ask anyone in the industry.

I'm going to try some other ROTA 16" RIMs - Circuit 10 and Grid. They are only slightly heavier than the SlipStreams but have a different spoke design that should clear the calipers. I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,

Jon

whats all this about the brebo's? do only certian alloys fit the DC-5? so if i put some 19's on they wouldn't fit cause of the brebo breaks?

 

[T666YPR]

Because the Brembo calipers stick out so far,you need to make sure the spokes,of whatever alloys you want,clear them.
This is usually sorted by buying alloys with the correct offset,or an offset that allows more room for the spokes to clear the calipers.

Different alloys with differing spoke designs and similar offset number does not mean they will fit.

ALWAYS check with the supplier if they will fit,or if possible to do so,offer them up before buying.

cool thanks for that
