Interesting, looks like they had to use quite a few weights to balance that one...

If you're concerned about the ride, then don't get bigger wheels, which will mean shorter sidewalls on the tire size you'll want, which is 205/40-17. Shorter sidewalls don't help the ride. They also make the wheels more susceptible to damage from potholes. But if you like the look, go for it!

you said you have it at your disposal, why don't you slap it on and see how you like it?

i feel that anything bigger than 16inch rims looks ungainly on the caR...almost like a hotwheels car IMO. plus isn't the type S rim pretty heavy too?

Just buy any set of 16 inch rims and paint them black, and lower your car so that the front is slightly lower then the back.

This setup will give you the cleanest looking yellow type R you can get, and it makes the car look really aggressive.
