Default dc5r suspension... what rims to get and what offset???

so i looked around and im considering getting some new wheels b/c the white dc5r rims get DUUURRRTTTTY in like a day. ****** hella brake dust from the brembos.

my dilemma is that there arent that many wheels made for the offset. i think stock type-r rims r like 60 offset and i can go as far out as 55 with out rubbing ( im all the way down on tein ss's)

my question is does anyone here know who makes rims in those offsets beisdes volk and hre. i think work does as well. im lookin at either a 17 or maybe 18 inch wheel. im lovin the te-37's obviously, but i also fell in love with the ssr prof sp1's and the work emotions are crackin too... so anyone know if some of those wheels come in that offset and if not then which JDM and/or light weight wheels do come in a 55 offset. thx

Mugen made MF10's for the DC5-R, but good luck finding a set. They're 17x8 +55. I do have to say though, I love my set.

If you wanted to stay away from jdm bling, why did you get the DC5-R Brembo's in the first place? It would have been a whole lot easier for you to get an aftermarket brake upgrade.

SP1's are very nice rims though!

i got it b/c ive always known that oem type-r **** is prolly the best thing to upgrade to for a street driven car. which it was!!! and R wheels arent as bling as mugen, every one who i kick it with has 5 lug on their civics and dc2's so ive been around type-r wheels for years and its a common sight for me. i dont personally cosider it bling.
