Did a search on the Forums and there's no general wheel/rims thread around... Since Tax time a-coming and my car's Hondata's on hold for my car while I wait for a RBB-A54 to show up from a US wrecker that ships overseas that isn't looking rusted out....

So, lets look at some rims instead :p

Now I'm looking to order form USA *Tire Rack*, with the way AUD's going atm I'll be getting a 5% discount on everything since AUD is higher than USD at the moment. :thumbsup: (shipping as about $150 per wheel/tyre package, so $600 odd for shipping)

Now, my criterias were simple, 17 or 18 inch. has to be the same weight or less than my CL9's 16 inch stockies, so 9kg/19.8 lbs or less.

So here's a few I've looked at (My car's Artic Blue):
1. Kazera KZ-P
17x7.5//45mm offset//18.6lbs//Bronze//USD$121
18x7.5//45mm offset//21.3lbs//Bronze//USD$141

2.Sparco Assetto Gara
17x7.5//45mm offset//18.5lbs//Bronze//USD $140
17x8//45mm offset//20.5lbs//Black//USD $169

3. MOTEGI RACING MR121
17x7//48mm offset//17.3lbs//Black//USD $149

Tyres will be Continental ExtremeContact DW approx USD $132 (215/50ZR17) each

The whole Excerise would be less than AUD$1500 to my door
What do y'all think?

PS: Funnily enough... Even some Enkei's are MADE IN CHINA.:zip:
