It depends what kind of wheel you want. It's apples and oranges.

True that-apples and oranges. But if the two sets of wheels were sitting in front of you, which ones would you pick up. Im leaning towards the grams but mugens are mugens you know.

I, personally, am no fan of the RNR's; but if you're gonna go for 17"s, then I say stick with the RNR's.

Well I prefer 15's for the smoother ride. If you're just going for looks then the 17's might be for you.

where?!?! just kidding.

by your name i'm gonna guess these are going on a 4 door. i'd definitely say the mugen wheels. big wheels usually don't look good on a honda anyways, but putting 17's on a sedan will make you look like the gangstas rollin on rented chrome in their new glalants.

That my friend was an INCREDIBLE deal. I would have begged, borrowed or stolen to get that cash, but I know how being hard up really is
I paid 1450(new) w/ azenis out the door, but I got sort of a sweetheart deal

But I'd say to go with the Moooooogens, you can't go wrong

They aren't that light...

http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/776

http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/267

The 15x7 TE-37's are 3 lbs lighter.

The 17x7 are about 2 lbs lighter i believe.

Personally, I never thought of Gram Lights as a light weight. Maybe durable and forged...
