right now I'm wishing we had 5lugs, cause I would snatch these up fast.

looks good. do you think that offset is too little? i can get them for 250 a rim in san diego. is that the going rate for them?

Depends on color and size...most 16x7-8 run for about 215-250 a wheel, gunmetal usually about 250=special color.
17x7-9 about 240-280 a wheel, (that's for the 57C not pro)

*what size are you going to get?
I'm debating on 16x7 or 17x7 not sure about the 17x7.5 or 17x8

just found some 16x8' in gunmetal for 248. a wheel, would these rub, with a tire package that = the stock diameter?

16x8? i'm not sure at all about that. i didn't know grams came in 16. that is good to know.

yep, that's my biggest prb. most ppl tell me 16' are ideal,
however, the type-r's seam to do great on 17'.
I know a lot of the older hatches eg/ek looked great with smaller wheels, 15-16, however the ep's seam to look better with larger wheels 16-18, so I'm not sure if I should go 16 or 17 right now.

for me i like 16s. i have 16 inch rims on my car now. i am super stupid about weight. looks are important too, but weight is my main concern.

i just went with 17s .. 16s kinda looks small. although they look alright.

Nice wheels, but that's a different 5 lug pattern. Honda's use a 5 x 114.3 bolt circle.

yeah, fishboy said that on the second post.

The offset is less than stock, but the wheels would still fit fine if the bolt pattern was right. I recall a member here, hamlet9634, has Kosei K-1 Racing 16 x 7.5 rims, those have a 32 mm offset. Less offset brings the wheel out closer to the fender, looks awesome.

just PMed you

wow, I figured they were all forged.
Tony Speed: can you send me that info on the speedstar type-c too?
And if you have any pics with them on your car that would be great. :)

that's what you would think....it pays to do wheel research. the manufacturers seem to hide the info pretty well.
