    If G is a finite group, let \(Wh_ G(*)\) be the equivariant Whitehead group of the point and \(Wh_{rep}(G)\) be the subgroup generated by the reduced equivariant Whitehead torsions coming from G-homotopy equivalences between spheres of G-representations. Let \(C_ n\) resp. \(D_ n\) be the cyclic resp. dihedral group of order n resp. 2n. The main theorem of the article says that restriction induces an isomorphism from \(Wh_{rep}(D_ n)\) to \(Wh_{rep}(C_ n)\).
