Default light 15x7 wheel....

What is a cheap 15x7 4x114.3 wheel that is somewhat light?
Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I just recently installed a 4x114.3 swap on my civic.
TIA

Those and Volk Racing TE37.

edit: oops, sorry, he said 'cheap'. volks aren't anywhere near cheap.

OEM 7-spoke 15" alloys from a 94-97 Accord EX are great too, but they're not 7" wide.

I know but I have a CX and the CX brakes are pretty crappy. I got a real good deal on a 96 spec ITR brake set up and wheels. I basically paid $750 for brakes, wheels and tires. the only thing i don't like is the fact that the wheels are 15x6. I prefer running 205/50's.

I thought the Kosei's were discontinued?

They are, if you find somewhere that still has them let me knwo though. Your best option at this poitn is proably some rota slips 15x6.5 12lbs, best I have found.

oh IC, yeah i think the rota slips are the lightest and cheapest 15 inch wheel out there. you'll have to settle for 6.5 inch width.

You can run 205/50 on a 15x6, i ran 205/50/15 Azenis on my stock 15x5.5 Accord wheels.

Yeah I was so happy last night when I found it, my only concern is if it will fit over my planed brake upgrade. Any one know a good konig dealer? I think a GB is in order.

I called the 800 # and was forwarded to a local konig dealer. They will be calling konig about the avalibility of the wheel.
