MR-7's nice, always love MR-7's, too bad they were discontinued by Motegi.

Yea I saw a 18" set on ebay for $500.00. Looking into getting rims before summer and I really like gunmetals on the habi red. Also just out of curiosity, got any preferences in tires. I was going to go with Eagles F1's but I heard the treadlife is no good on them?

I would never choose Motegi's over an OEM Honda rim. The only way you would catch those on my car is if somebody gave them to me and I was rocking them in the winter with snow tires....sorry just my .2

Not my style, but they look alright. Looks like the Konig Tantrums. Everyone has different tastes. You don't need to listen to other peoples opinions. Buy what you think looks good.

There is a huge difference between a set of tracklites and MR7's.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's are a great tire. And as far as treadlife is concerned I have not had mine long enough to comment, but I would be pretty sure that many tires out there including the Falken Azenis and Bridgestone Potenza S03's wear much much faster.

On Tirerack.com, the surveys rated the treadwear on the GS-D3's as Excellent. Here is the link....

If price is not an option, I believe they are excellent all around tire (wet/dry).

You guys don't like Rotas? I love Rotas--good functional lightweight wheels with a modern look at a great price. I know alot of people think they are "played out" but functionality beats trendiness every time.

Many of the OEM Honda wheels were made by Enkei.

Rotas look good because they're cheap copies of expensive wheels. Some people argue forged vs. cast wheels in terms of strength and weight. Low budget autocrossers like cast wheels like the Rota Slips because they're cheap and very lightweight. People with money to throw around buy fancier forged wheels for added strength and weight savings.

The problem is that wheels that are abused are very susceptible to becoming "out of round", which means however much you spent on wheels was just flushed down the potty

on the subject of Enkei, rpf 01's are very cheap, very lightweight quality wheels. You get lighter weight than many forged wheels like Volk, for a price about twice that of a Rota, with a greater durability than Rota. It all ads up to cost and use.
