What color is your Type-R? And what are you gonna do with the stock rims?

Suggesting rims is really difficult. About the only recommendations that can be made would relate to particular sizes and price ranges. Everything else is personal taste; my preferred style might not be yours, but they're both "right".

True, but before you can even begin to do that, I personally think you should know what color car it is. Because as far as style goes, you shouldn't mix certain colors and some colors just look better on certain color cars.

That's why I asked my original question, which is still unanswered. Heh.

Right -- and red looks good with anything, too.

i noticed he's from across the pond,
but actual TYPE R's are hard to find for sale...
even over there!

pics would be great!

i have black msr 7 spokes, but i dont like them-
i'll probably paint them red, white, or chrome... (haven't decided yet)

i'm just wondering <U>what he paid</U>- if it is in fact- a JDM "Type R"!

they look good up close,


but further away looks kind of goofy. Red may work better for me!
I even considered a Red stripe around the outter rim.

but then again, my car is a far cry from what it looked like stock!


Without pics, there is no telling what looks "good"

I love those rims, but they're a pretty penny.

I'm still waiting on my 16 TE37 time attacks. They are worth the wait. Why not call Dave at http://www.randdmotorsports.com and see what he says. I think he has a set of 15's in stock.

1. My Volks fresh off the boat from Japan. If the box wasn't so big I would have put the seat belt around them, lol, j/k....but not really




2. This the Volks bra...a good girl will always be wearing a bra




3. This is angle one of the rims, although I took these pictures with my camera phone the quality came out alright




4. This is angle two of the rims, the rims are really bright gold...just the way I like them



Go Volk 17's
