I've always thought the stock wheels look the best.

The stock wheels do have a very nice look to them. On top of that, they're very light, which helps significantly with acceleration. The must be a reason why so many people who track their FDs stick with stock rims....

Hands down, one of these three! :

1. Enkei RP-01. Why? B/C they keep that stock look, and are light as hell for a + or ++ sized wheel.

2. Volk TE-37. Why? If I have to explain, you stil wouldn't get it!

3. SSR GPO-Evolution. Why? Look at them! 3 piece design, forged, deep, polished lip, what else do you want?

JoeD,

I got 17" Racing hart C2's. I love em, they look slick too (check the post a few weeks back with my ride in it for pics). Bling Bling baby I think having real meat on the back helps when your zipping around. Car feels alot more stable and less likely to break free. I didn't feel too too much seat of the pants loss in acceleration. Handleing benefits outweighed any loss of power I felt IMHO.
