Read the wheel offset guide linked in my sig. You could have problems on the front - what is the offset?

I have just been through all this and just gave up in the end
best I could get was 45 offsett allround and very little choice if you want the correct front rear stagger. I will wait another tyre year and see if there is more choice.

What's wrong with you bunch of mitherers?

Volk & Mugen both do some very elegant, lightweight wheels in the correct sizes.

Honda does some (not many) elegant and somewhat heavy ones in the correct sizes.

Like these (that were on the FS section)

17" Volks Gunmetal CE28N's (Front-17x7.5 ET+50, Rear-17x9.0 ET+63) & Goodyear F1 GSD3 (Front-225/45ZR17, Rear-255/40ZR17)

Expensive wheels means less money to spend on stick on tat and bolt on stuff with seat dyno proven gains.

They're like rocking horse shit & therefore usually expensive.

But they're forged (ie light) & not far out on the sizes too.

This is perfectly true.

But otherwise, you might as well get alloy-look LED hubcap spinners from Rapespeed or somewhere.
