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.

Wankel Me This!!
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.

Go here, you can test fit whatever they have to offer. http://www.kaltire.com/retail/custom...tualWheels.php
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???
