I'm looking to replace my stock wheels (the new pilot sports deserve better), but I'm sticking with the stock size. Yeah yeah, but I like the look of rims such as the Kosei K1 TS, Enkei RS7, Enkei RSV and Enkei ZR1. So, it looks like I'm leaning toward a "split spoke" design, silver, under ~20lbs and about $200 or less and I'm open to suggestions. What do you guys think?

 

If I had to pick a set from the list, I pick the ZR1. I almost picked them up a while back but saved up and got me some SSRs instead.

 

In case people are thinking

I've posted pictures of the wheels I've listed. I used Wheel Kings pictures for the Enkeis and Tire Rack for the Kosei just because it was easy.

 

i like the Enkei RSV

 

I like the look of the RS7 best out of those choices. But the width is a deal killer...

 

I like Kosei K1 TS because they come in multiple colors, are lightweight, and couild be filled w/ nitrogen gas (via dual valve stems) at the track

 

But I'm sticking with stock size: 17x7

And I'm not even sure these wheels are available with the correct bolt pattern...which I have to look up.

And I'm not too crazy about the dark spokes of the ZR1s...unless someone can convince that it would look tight.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't spend money and get another set of 17s. Why not get some 18s?

You can check out my page for pictures of gunmetal rims on silver car. It will give you an idea what it would look like on your car

 

Yeah, I know. I just don't want 18s. I don't want larger tires and I don't want less sidewall. 18s do look nice, but my mind is made up.

I didn't see any on your page. Am I missing them? I see 2004 wheels, but they are silver.

 

first 3 pictures

 

Oh, didn't bother enlarging and couldn't quite tell until then. Nice photos.

 

So I've got one vote for each, basically. I've been hearing some negative words about Enkeis.

 

Stock 17's look better than puny aftermarket 17's

 

But the Koseis (for example) are 10 lbs less than the stockers.

 

doubt you'll feel the difference w/ 40 less lbs.

 

Yeah, even if 40 lbs. less of unsprung weight was detectable with a stopwatch I'll never feel it in the driver's seat. I think I'll stick with the stockers and save my $$.

 

Looking to buy a set of stock 17's for my 3rd gen. Can you point me in the right direction.
