I like the wheels too, but maybe in black or white.

Those look good, but I'd prefer black.

look decent, but I think half the reason they look good is because of the big brakes behind them...

hey guys thanks for the input. For all those who said they like black, these are gunmetal so close as I could get to having black. As for those who like the BBS vert style rims, you should see what I got right now!! I have these BBS knock off that look like the vert wheels only they are the four lugs. All my friends say the rims look classy on the car but here's the thing. They were from the previous owner and they are in terrible shape. The inner meshing on the rims is chiping, the nice polished lip is pretty banged up from curbs, three out of my four centre caps fell off one day while driving, and to tell you the truth, they are just a little small for me (15's right now) So I'm just browsing the wheel market looking at what looks nice. My ultimate wheel would be BBS LM / polished lip... but that will never happen. I'm also looking at ASA EM9's but they are alittle heavy. If anyone else has some good suggestions let me know.

I have these on my car. Mine are 17x7.5. It appears they don't make them anymore. They are very light and I learned about them through Sport Compact Car and Grass Roots Motorsports (two real car magazines unlike Super Street which praises wings and stickers). I believe my size weighs 16 lbs. Not bad at all for the price. They look much better in real life than in the picture: <http://tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/W...&autoYear=1990>
However, these other rims are the ones that I really want. I believe the 17" weighs 14 lbs. Beat that BBS. I just think they are beautiful! Too bad I can't afford them as they cost about twice what mine did. Maybe one day I'll put them on my 535: <http://tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/W...&autoYear=1990>

My linkd didn't work. Just scroll through the rims. The ones I have are Kossei K1 racing and that other lighter ones that I really want are the SSR competition. My Kosseis look good in 17". That seems to be a good size. I like your photoshop rims though. I like the bare metal look. Not ricy but racy. I say go with the lightest rims you can afford and let the Honda boys worry about carshows.

i'm kinda mad that black wheels are so popular now, but whatever, they look pretty good. honestly, i think silver looks better on that color.
