Something tasteful. I'm rather fond of BBS RS's in 17-inch form.

I don't like bbs style wheels. Prefer a simple design like te37s and/or any basic 6 spoke rim.

I think a little more info would be useful. What color car? I know that my opinion for rims is based alot on the color of the vehicle, and seeing as to how certain rims are only available in certain colors it limits the choices.
As for rim types,
I think both bbs style mesh rims and various 5 spoke rims look nice on the 2nd gen. I've seen a few with 3 spoke advans that i have like and many that I didn't but then again I'm not a big fan of advan style rims.
I myself am looking at 5 spokes preferably of the gram light nature. Maybe the 57c in bright silver for my blue rx.

I have BBS RS-GTs going on my car tomoroww, had the tires mounted today so I am obviously biased towards meshies, I like some 5 spoke wheels, hate pretty much very 3 spoke wheel.

its a personal decision really

Work Meisters, Work VS-KFs look great.

BBS RSs would look great, or some new LM-Rs (if you have a larger budget).

Any SSR Monoblock or Professor wheel would look good. (of course i am biased)

Depends on what the car is being used for too, you want a lower offset too.

Work Emotions, Weds Sport SA-70's, 90's, BBS RS, MB Weapon. i think all those look good at 17.

im debading myself between the Emotions or the SA-70's for my black TII.

i just like that bronze / gunmetal look with some nice spokes. any tips on Weds Sport, i havnt heard much feedback about them.

good wheels are all personal opinion.. some will agree on some wheels more than others though.. Its all about the size, width and offset.. you can get the most expensive VOLK wheels with horrible size/offset and look worst than stock wheels.

Stick with a preferable brand name wheel though, doesnt mean you have to buy new, you can always source out some great used wheels at a good price so you dont have to settle for cheap wheels.
