Whatever you like. That a purely subjective question. Some like bronze wheels, some like white or gunmetal. Some like expensize wheels some like cheap affordable wheels. Maybe if @ least said what color and if price vs performance is your goal.

best = lightest as far as I am concerened.

so I like the Racing Hart CP-035 and also the Volk CE28N.... not that I would drop loot on either, but they are the best of the best.

get 15"... buy cheap metal wheels at autp store. Put cool wheel covers on top and paint them black. If it looks excessively cheap toos the covers.

It is all in what you want and how much you want to pay. What I like might not be what you like due to style, size, color, etc... Try using the search function and you can find tons of wheels on this sight so you can see which ones you like.

The lightest wheels you can afford to put sticky rubber on.

So, for me, that was the 15x7" Kosei K-1. 15" rubber isn't too expensive, and the rims are big enough to look good for appearance. Simple and clean. Nice and light. I kinda wish I'd gotten 16's, but I'm happy.

I hear "Whoa...I almost never like rims on Honda's but those are sweet." all the time.

the best wheel is one thats ..the cheapest one that can get the job done ..rota slips..they re cheap, hold up under heavy use and light ..they have crappy finish and everyone call s them cheap imitations..but what the hell, they get the job done just a good spoon and most people who see them wont be able to tell the difference

Best wheels IMO are lightweight and have many tire options. For example, my 13'' vx wheels are light as hell ( 9lbs??) but NO tire options really. So now I'm looking to get some lightweight 15s.

Which rim looks the best? Purely subjective.

Spoon, Mugen, Volk, Regamaster, Advan all make excellent wheels, but there are many other companies too. Your question is too broad.

Hey now...why the hate...i happen to love my black HX's (and i've only had 'em for a day)...no one ever said that black wheels make your car JDM(whatever the **** that means, the only way to make your car JDM is to buy in JDM-land)...you just need to step back...

idiot
