If I had the money I would get volks time attack. My dream wheels. They look so fucking good. Eibach for the springs imo. Although I don't know if one is better. From what I can see Eibach is mentioned more. Seems like a very reputable brand. I'm going with Eibach sport lines when they release si specific. My 2c

Those where my original choice but where I live (Simi Valley) I’m 1 of 3 or 4 CTR’s and one of them got those as I was drooling over them and I don’t wanna feel like a copy in a way.. and I feel Desmond’s are somewhat rare. And would you have any idea on which manufacture of wheel holds their value best?

I went from OZ to Work to Desmond. I think the Desmonds will hold value especially well. If the Desmonds weren't out, I'd probably have stuck with the Work CR Kiwamis or looked at Advan, myself.

As for springs, if you stay 265/35-18 or 255/40-18 in something like a PS4S tire, you should be good to not rub with just about any spring on the market if you stick to about a +41 or higher offset. Desmonds are +45, not sure of the other options. I'm going to be running Swifts, +45 18's, and 255/40-18 PS4S tires here in a little over a month, just waiting on the springs and then to install them.

I'm also so torn between Spoon SW388 and TE37's...

Personally, I could not pass up Enkei RPF1s for price, low low weight and classic Japanese style. I could have bought 4 sets of RPF1s for the price of some of the wheels mentioned above. I am looking at Nankang AR-1 tires in 265/35/18 and I have Swift springs ready for install.

Can you please share pics of your CW type R with the RPF1s on them?

If you're talking about wheels from a value perspective, I think the TE37's are the best. They've been around forever and aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Looks wise, I'd do the Advans. I think the wheel looks great on the car and fewer guys are running it as opposed to the TE37's.

The ZE40's are another good choice for the car.

The Swift springs are going on today but the struggle about which tire to put on the RPF1s is ongoing. I think the Firehawk Indys for $130 bucks each is best but I don't want miss out on ULTIMATE grip so I have been looking at the RE71R for $260 and Toyo R888R for $300.
I may go with the Falken RT615K+ at $200 each.

I will post the pics ASAP. The RPF1 is the best value per dollar and weight. Classic Japan tuner wheel
Bottom line is NOBODY CAN TELL WHAT WHEEL IT IS WHEN IT IS SPINNING, and spinning is why they exist

Yea I had TE37's a long time ago and they've always been my favorite wheels. Probably a lot of peoples favorite wheels..but there are so many options (SL, Ultra, OG, SAGA), sizes (18x9.5 18x10 19x9.5), and offsets (+33 - +45) and I worry about rubbing so it's making me really indecisive..

With the Spoons you have 1 choice. 18x9.5 +40. The end. lol

Like you said, everyone has TE's LOL

But have you seen water/chemical stained and chipped up finish on spoon wheels over time? I think TE37's hold up a lot better and easier to maintain. Especially if they've got a clear coat.

Sagas go up to +50 offset, 18x9 for the CTR. I think +50 is pretty safe to not rub. I have dash whites on order and am waiting for them to come in.
