Yes there are. In general, rota wheels are pretty light for the price. I like my 15" rota slipstreams a lot (also a 00 si)

Rotas are cheap and usually they are fairly light. Best bang for your buck IMO.

I have some Rota Subzeros and they're clean I would go with a 16" though unless you are going to have height problems they will be just a little bit better speed wise

Well the best thing about them is the price and they look like just about any high end wheel you can think of. my .02 cents is rethink the 17"s on a civic.

195/55/15...yeah, I know they're far from low profile's which is my only complaint, but I'll take all the ride comfort I can get after lowering the thing...

i love fat tires. It just looks badass to me. But for you, OP, you might wanna look into watching what size you wanna go with, as bigger rims will alter the speed reading on ur speedometer. I think tirerack.com has a conversion chart, if not, some other chain tire/wheel store website has it. You might wanna take those into consideration before buying wheels. And i dont know if anyone mentioned it, but rotas are just knockoffs of other more expensive rims. Nonetheless best bang for the buck. Im looking at buying some for my car myself. Good luck!
