Picture request for 17" wheels and feedback
 
OK, I have narrowed my choice of wheels down to 4 different wheels. I am looking for pics of any of these wheels on a 1gen. These wheels are all pretty light and close in price except the motegi wheels which are like $300 each. Thanks for the help guys. and yes I did a search and found plenty of Kosei K1 pics, but not the TS version. Also any feedback if you are using any of these wheels as well. Last question, will a 17 x 8 fit in the rear with fenders rolled?

Kosei K1 TS 17 x 7 13.6lbs

Motegi traklite 17 x 7 14lbs

Kosei K3 formula 17 x 7 16.5lbs

Enkei RPF1 17 x 7 about 15lbs

The Enkei would require me to change over to a 5 lug, but that is not an issue.

i had those enkis on my civic hb, nice rims but i'd think there a bit too much on a fb, for some reason i love the way a fat set of tires looks on the factory size, to each there own. i'm sure i'm one of the few who likes it that way.

Black with a chrome lip all the way. Simple, understated, nice. :icon_tup:

same they look crazy nice.

go to a rim shop that orders custom rims and tuner parts and all that. i went to one and they said that players had a rim that was 20inch that would bolt right up with no spacer. that would cost me $5000 but they said i would be the only FB with 20 inch rims. so they would let them go for me $2500 and they said they would sponser me and give me stickers to put on my car. i wish i had the money then. they will find you rims that can bolt right up. or get them with not drilled then send them to a shop to be drilled to 4x110

Lol, not to mention that they wouldn't even fit in the wheel wells. 17 is the biggest I would personally go on a first gen. Anything larger looks really goofy IMO.

$5k for some rims is a joke, the real price was probally $1500ish, that they than marked up to $2500 and told you, that you were getting an amazing deal. Also then your vehicle would be covered in ads for their company... Remember that my wheels cost $3000 and it's a 3 piece wheel that is custom made for the application.

Cool site. I like how you can make the wheels spin when trying out the wheels. Too bad they have nothing I like.

Driftking777 thanks for the pics of your wheels. i think they look great. I have decided to go 5 bolt, more options in wheels and more offset choices. Going 5 bolt makes the enkies a possible choice now.

Still would like to see any of these other wheels on a 1gen. anybody???
