to tell you the truth i haven;t even installed them yet...i got the Mach 10...i wanted the DC 6 but i figure that it is much heavier than the Mach 10....D6's are about 18 x 8 and Mach 10 are 18 x 7.5 it is exactly the width of the stock 17's rims (just about .5 difference)....i would say about 1 pound heavier or more....the DC 5 are great as well i haven;t seen these rims on a trix....let me know which one you chose.....

both DC 5's and DC 6's are great choices....but it might be too played out assuming that most people has them on their Civic's and Accord etc.....

we'll that's accroding to the store i bought the rims from...

i have heard of somebody putting 20s on his trix over on matrixowners. if you are running stock ride height, i think 20s are about the biggest you can do. just make sure to get lower profile tires. realize though that with bigger wheels, you will need to get your speedometer recalibrated. along with bigger wheels, your acceleration will go down, but if you have the power, your theoretic top speed will go up, but it won't really unless you disable the speed limiter.
