Default which wheels should I buy? (Pics)

here is my car from a while back:

1st:jmag 16inch

2nd:track r 16inch


keep in mind: I just bought a set of volks for the summer and I want a set of rotas for the winter.. I love weird oldschool looking small wheels.

i would recommend neither of those wheels... theyre too small of a wheel for the rsx... even in 16, the type of wheel they are makes them look smaller than they are... just my 2 cents

well, I like the way small wheels look with thick tires...everyone has 17 or higher on their rsx.... i mean- for the price of the jmags and their weight..12lb's a wheel.
cmon- if you HAD to choose one or die..lol which would it be?
its all good if you guys dont like my taste, I mean there are alot of weird/different things on honda-tech, not everyone has the same opinion.

wow rota's, how weird/different

i think what people are trying to say, is that the RSX is a $20,000 car, and it deserves better then $400 rollers. but yeah, why even ask for opinions?

why cant it deserve $500 dollar wheels for the WINTER!! i mean, i dont think my stock wheels are worth that much....
what I mean by different is the size of the wheel.....not the rota brand-
you helped alot
Everyone didn't say buy something else than rota, because they read that I have VOLKS for the summer/spring/fall.
thats why I posted a picture of my car in winter mode...a.k.a stock wheels

You really need that much help when it comes to choosing a wheel?

Get what you like; if you were to ask me I'd say get the lightest one you can afford. Are you after looks or performance?

I think neither look good on the car. I would get something else. I would stick with the stock size which is 16 for the winter.

I like the idea that someone just gave me about the s2000 rims for my car, thats a damn god idea! I like the rims of the old style better than the new ones though. How much could I buy them for?

Also, could anyone photoshop either of the rims that I have picked on my car? So at least I can see that they look bad?

My other option was to fully polish my stock rims, I tried doing it by hand, but the cast curved surface was too hard to work with, if I got them sandblasted, could I polish them right afterwards?
