Its not the route I would go, but I havent heard anything bad about them. And if its what you want and can afford then go for it.

Centerline has a line of really super lightweight forged wheels. 11 lbs for a 17 inch wheel.

American Racing has a couple others brands they put out like Motegi and some other new one which I forget the name of. It has 3 letters in it, that's all I remember, but they have that popular 'tuner' style to them with the fake rivets and all that.

TIS maybe? They produce the twenty inches strong line as well.

ADR maybe? I dunno about American Racing, depends on the style...I probably wouldn't though, they're more for Cameros and Mustangs, mostly chrome, and chrome looks bad on 95% of hondas, IMO. Unless it's luxury car from factory, not a wannabee one.
