Default Wheel suggestion for lifted rd1

hey guys, now that tax return season has arrived I have been looking for a set of 15" wheels to put on my lifted crv. Only problem is, I don't want to run steel wheels for the loss in fuel mileage. My V already sees 90% in town driving, so mileage isn't the greatest. Any suggestions on wheels that would be close to factory weight?

Found a set of ITR's for a decent price but don't know how they would look.

Any ideas would be awesome! thanks!

Im a fan of offset love my wheels to stick out thats why i rock soft 8's. In your case i would think that enkei evo stock wheels would look great.

or possible leaning towards some 15x7.5 +40 offset rota grids. grids are pretty light according the website i found them on.

yea, grids look good with low profile - not sure how it would be with a fat tire..
There are plenty of black rock and cragar options available, but they are usually heavy.

From the two pics you posted, I kind of like the top ones. I think those would be good with AT tires.

top one looks watanabe or black racing.... bottom ones looks better on fat tires.. its a common
design.. but grids w/ AT tires, ive seen a couple but not on a crv, they look nice in couple of my
friends land cruiser back home.... but i think theyre bigger than 15"?!? 16" or 17" maybe...
good luckl!

heres some borrowed pics:

Alot of knock off companies make grid te37 looking wheels specifically for trucks but from what ive seen they are like 17"+

Lots of pics on the web with them on tundras tacomas and FJs..




I think the enkei evo wheels ap1 is talking about are 17-18" rims too..
