WHAT???

I don't feel it's worth the money to do a 5lug just to have those OEM wheels, it's just that the wheels are nice looking.

You could get HX's.. which are 14 inch but if painted white, look very similar to CTR's.

I really don't think the ek9 wheels are ugly, the wedsports don't seem to be the same, i think the closest so far is the posted picture abouve of the GT3's if i'm not mistaken.

The reasons HX wheels are popular is cause they're cheap, light weight , tires are cheap, and dont look bad imo.

But they're not cool beacause they are OEM.

The only 4 lug Type R wheels I've ever seen are the 97 ITRs, but they were 4x114.3 so they require a conversion, too. They also look different.

As someone else suggested, the closest thing would be white WedsSport SA90s. You can keep your 4 lug and get a lighter, better wheel than the actual ITR/CTRs at the same time.
