How much do you want to spend?

Any 16" forged wheel will get you what you want, but all will be major coin.

-Spoon
-BuddyClub
-Advan
-Volk

etc...

If you'd take a 15", I'd recommend a Kosei K1 from tirerack.com

I planned on getting rotas, but now i think Koseis will be a better choice. The fact they come in 15x7 and they are a change from a lot of the others attracted me.

i don't know how much you racers care about this, being for a track car and all. kosei K1 have a rather undesireable offset. 35 or 38 i believe. by my experience, it is too little, and the tyres will rub.

If that's the case, it's nothing a spacer wouldn't fix, eh?

How are you going to get the spacer to move the wheel in?

But anyway, if you roll your fenders, +35 wheel will be no problem.

38mm (on a 94-01 Integra at least) is the perfect offset. Roll the fender lips, put a 5mm rear spacer on the back, and voila...you can fit a 225-45-15 tire all the way around.

yeah, you can fit 225's on a 7" tire with a 38 offset on a crx even. just gotta massage the front fender and not worry about the plastic inner liner.

The Kosei wheels come in a 45mm offset also.
The only experience I've had is with a 215/40R17 on Kosei's with a 45mm offset. Of course there was no rubbin.
I'm planning on getting 16" royal black rota subzeros with 215/40r16 Kumhos with a 45mm offset
