My head is spinning. Someone make this easy for me. Which would you take and why. I can't decide whether I want winter wheels/summer wheels, all season wheels, whether I'm keeping stockies forever or selling them tomorrow. Knowing me, I'll end up taking the laziest route (all seasons with best performance) but I'm having trouble with cost/benefit analysis on wheels. My inclination is to go cheapest with the looks I can live with, but offset has me concerned.

Kojin 18x8.5 (Silver only, no dice on CW)
Kojin 18x8+32 (cheap, I like the look, thinner than stock)
Kojin 18x9.5 +45 (expensive tires, I like the look, more grip, rubbing issues?)
VR5 18x8 +42 (2nd cheapest, I like the look, thinner than stock)
Motegi MR924 19x8.5 +53 (closest to stock, meh looks, expensive tires)
Motegi MR116 18x8 +35 (cheapest, meh on look, thinner than stock)

If you have some of these wheels, I'd love to hear from you too. Or if you have other suggestions that aren't more than 1.5k for a set. I am not dropping more than that on rims. Part of the point of swapping out to smaller rims is so I don't have to worry about them as much these stock ones.

Or you could go with Superspeed rf03rr. They are $630 US a set up here in Canada. 18x9.5 +38 and they are light at 18.7 lbs. They come in matte black or silver.

Those seem sweet - where can an American buy those?

edit: I wonder if they're related to these guys - they sell the same RF01, but not the one you showed.

Nice. I was looking at getting a set for the track. What size tires are you running?

Do you have any more pics you can share?

Its just a random pic I found online, not mine sorry. If it were me I would run a lightweight 255/40-18 or 265/35-18, something like the 25lb Michelin 4S. You might rub slightly in the rear. fyi

Anyone have a pic of Hyperblack on a CW Type R? I like it in theory, but I suspect it may be too bright for CW Type R w/ black ceramic window tint.

I'm now leaning towards a set of T6S 18x9.5 +35 in black. Or a set of Kojins in the same size? I think they're pretty much the same, one's 5 spoke and the other 6 spoke? Any opinions there? 255 profile tire all upside over the 245 on a 8.5 wide rim? Or 265 profile, especially if I'm on all-seasons?

Nice dude! Do you have a wider shot of your car? Are those silver or gunmetal?

I kind of want silver rims on my car, but I've been told that silver and champ white doesn't look so hot.

Unfortunately no , they were test fitted and blasted white immediately , I thought the Black rims didn't look good. Sorry , just being honest. But to each there own.
