What kind of 17" wheels do you have? Lately I've thought about considering 17's for my dd gs-r with 5 lug. It'd be nice to have more tire options. I get jealous of the modern cars that can choose such tires as Michelin pilot sports and others like that.yoshi234 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 8:32 pmReaching dEEp into my old, foggy memory bank...RTR's ITRs started out with 15" tyres. In '01, the series started using spec Toyo street tyres which meant 17" size. In '03, the series switched to Toyo's RA-1...also 17".Dave7CDMTYPER wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 6:43 pm Interesting that they chose 17 inch wheels for RTR ITR.
Actually, maybe they started out with 16" OEM NSX front wheels for the '97 ITRs? Then switched to 15" TE-37 for the 98 spec ITR? Brain fartz!
y shi - who's also been on 17" since '01

I have a set of Volk SE37 and two sets of Mugen MF10. For tyres I've been using Falken Azenis 215/40R17.Dave7CDMTYPER wrote: ↑Tue Apr 16, 2019 2:18 am What kind of 17" wheels do you have?

Pictures look great. Would love to have #2 and #3 as a poster for the garage.

Sweet man. What is the width and offset of those wheels?

Great pics Yoshi! Thanks for sharing.
Like Ruke said, it's so cool to see Acura celebrate its heritage. Anything RTR-related is for me

With the cars being roped off, with people around and lack of time, it's difficult to get super detailed photos that I would like and I'm sure fans would like to see.
Jay, Ryan...Bueller, anyone? Can you help me get some quality time with them?

Let's do it! If you can get here, I can make that happen. Most of those cars are with RealTime in the Milwaukee area.yoshi234 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:34 pm With the cars being roped off, with people around and lack of time, it's difficult to get super detailed photos that I would like and I'm sure fans would like to see.

I rarely share photos from there, but here's one from a few months ago.

I'm down to help coordinate. I would like to visit the SoCal museum myself, or, revisit RTR.
I would love to help document these cars on here.

I can inquire about a small group visiting the AHCH in SoCal.
