Just buy them and resell them if you think you can make some money off them. I wouldn't put "17s on an ITR, nevermind any BBS wheel, I'm sure a lot on here will agree.

Are you sure those are real? The lug hole area doesnt look right for BBS. They look like replicas of the BBS AIR II CK. I would make sure they are stamped BBS before you buy them. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...+Stainless+Lip

Not my style BBS or not. Would look clean on somthing else like a s2k, miata or 240sx. IMO.

One of my favorite integras of all time... this car unfortunately looks nothing like this now.

This is the ONLY integra with 17's that could pulled it off. IMO. These are the only 17s id put on an R!

I think Gil did a great job with both the gold Advan's and black RE30's.

I'm thinking about putting my Diamond Black OEM BBS off my evo onto the R. 17x8 is really big however, but I am curious how it will look for street duty.

17's look ok, but the quick turn in and steering response off a light 15" wheel is unmatched. I remember with my 15" ssr type-C (sub 9 lbs each) along with the spoon calipers the steering control was super quick and light.

Nowadays you almost have to go with 17" to have any semblance of choice in terms of tires

There are several super-sticky 205/45/16 and 215/45/16's street tires available right now. The only way a 17" wheel would be benefitial is if you wanted to run a sticky 235/40/17 or something. But then, you're going to start to get all kinds of fender contact because you'll need, at minimum, an 8" wheel.

Yup. There's a great selection of the stickiest tires in 15" and 16" sizes, and actually very few in the 17" size the ITR needs, so there's no need to go to 17" for that reason. Here, see for yourself:

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec 195/55-15, 205/50-15
Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 205/50-15, 205/45-16
Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 205/50-15
Kumho Ecsta XS 205/50-15, 215/45-16
Toyo Proxes R1R 205/50-15, 205/45-16
Falken Azenis RT-615K 205/50-15, 215/45-16, 205/40-17

Yah unless you are needing to run a big brake kit I don't really see the point. For a car as light as an integra the super big brake kits don't make much sense to me either I guess unless you have a really crazy car.
