WHERE DO I START!!!

... so many choices, sizes, offsets etc and i think im going crazy..

I need help choosing the right wheels for my project and i cant seem to make up my mind.. I have trouble visualizing whats going to look good or not..

Its the first time im gonna do aftermarket wheels on any of the cars i've owned (ive been more fan of the stock Honda wheels up to now) so its kinda difficult to break the ice.

First.. i dont want anything heavy (Performance side in mind), i dont want anything too big or too small..
I had decided to stick up between 15 to 17" but now im not sure about the 15"... I really dont want my speedo to get messed up and i am contemplating on a different brake/rotor/caliper setup that might not be suitable for 15"... Also i dont think i will drive the car daily with the wheels i end up choosing..only for special occasions(Meets, shows etc..)... I will use daily the stock ones.

I really DO NOT CARE if the wheels are Volks or Rotas.. im not biased about if its an expensive or cheaper wheel since in my opinion they look the same and wont make my penis be smaller or bigger

Ok so the car is Silver and i dont know which color combination would look right (Dark color, light color...etc...). I think i like the White wheels but im afraid they wont look right on a silver car (you knowwhite with white looks good but silver and white?hmmm)... Dark wheels(Black or Gunmetal) on silver cars seems like what everybody does so im not sure about that either..

The car will have a Mugen Body kit, will be lowered most likelly on Coilovers for different height options..
This is the car (So far...Bodykit to be installed soon)


These are the wheels i have seen so far that i think would look good but i really need you guys opinion..

Mugen NR WHeel (white & 16.75lbs each) 15X6.5 +45 OFFSET 4X100 . If this wheel would come in 16" or 17" and with a 4X100 pattern i think it would be my first choice but as i said it might not fit with the future Brake setup planed.



Buddy Club P1 Racing SF Challenge Wheels in 16"X 7 or 17" X 7 42mm offset (I dont know the weight)



Either Black with Red or White with red



DR-23 in 16" with 40mm offset (15lbs)


Enkei FN18 16" or 17" with 42 offset

 

The Mugens are nice but are HEAVY!... The Buddy Clubs are LIGHT, and for the price u cant beat it. The enkeis dont look bad either, but dont have any experience with that particular model. I would recommend a 16in wheel. Out of those I would go with the BC... The Enkei RPF1 are also a really good bang for the buck and extremely light.

&BTW white looks good on silver

 

Thanks for the info Chris...

Do you now how much the BC 16" weight?

After seeing that pic you posted and looking at another member GE silver fit with the White rims i do think it looks good... So i think im gonna go that way...

 

I dont know their exact weight, but I used to have them and they were pretty close in weight to my CE28's

 

Mugen made the mesh/cross-spoke XJ wheel along with its GE stuff - and yes that comes in 16"x6.5"

 

Thanks for your input..
The reason im not going with those is because i really do not like the wheel..

 

Touche! and they are like rocks.. so heavy!
