5 Spokes

I'm trying to find some reasonably priced wheels for my FC. 16x8 or 16x7 is the preferred size. Black or gold. Looking for something that looks similar to Rota Slipstreams or Speedline Type 2110.
Speedlines...

Slipstreams...

I am liking the slipstreams a lot, but I was wondering if there are any other wheels similar to these out there for a decent price. Enkei makes one too, I don't know what it is called though.

Slipstreams are both cheap and good.

Rota is really good when it comes to breaking your rims and replacing them with no questions asked. It happens little but it does happen, but another thing is Rota recommends not to powdercoat your rims, seems that most of the rim failures were done with powdercoated rims.

Other than the offsets, and pretty much being the standard "shoe" for Hondas, they're badass rims for the price.

Moemoney you really need to stop hijacking threads and stop pushing those ugly rims. Especially since people are asking for a different style of rim.

You mean Fikse... And I'd love some FM5's, those wheels are bitchin. It seems like everybody and their brother has 5zigens. Keep the ideas flowing folks.

In a 17x8 there's the Mustang GT wheels, they fit perfectly, are cheap and abundant, and are about 20lbs. They'll go well with what's probably the most common sise in low profile tires, 225/45/17, they fit really well on that wheel and that's about as big as you can go in the front anyway. Without the center caps most people won't know they're Mustang wheels (I've had to tell Mustang owners that they're Mustang wheels).

meh, 17's are too big. Although I agree, the mustang wheels look pretty decent.
