Just to make this a valid ep3 post, here is the car they would go on.

they are 16" rota circuit 10's or mugen mf10's... i'm guessing mugens because of all the other mugen stuff on the car. if i had to guess the tire size, i'd say 205/40/16...

Hmmm. I was hoping I could find them in 17", but a quick search came up with nothing. Looks like I'm back to the Velox VX8's.

vx8s are sweet, but WAY heavy. like 23lbs. a piece. go with konig heliums, or even rev model II's... much lighter. you'll be glad you didn't get something that heavy.

those are mugen mf10's. only available in 5 lug. the rota versions in 4 lug dont look as clean in the lug area.

Not to mention they are super expensive, and only come in 5 lug. Unless you get knock-offs.

The Mugens are HIGH quality wheels. The Rota's are pretty high quality too, but cheaper. I've never heard of Velox, however.

Nice wheels but you can get a set of Rota's for what one Mugen wheels costs. Wish I was rich

Well the girlfriend said I wont be doing the RSX 5 lug conversion anytime soon, so it's on to different wheels. I love the look of the VX8's but if they're that heavy I dont want them. I'm really not liking the look of the rev model II's and the heliums only come in bronze and silver. Anybody have pics of 17" konig helium's or traffik's? And yes I did search and didnt come up with anything.

the circuit 10's just dont look right to me. the 4 lug pattern just doesn't work well in that particular spoke pattern.
