OK, so I'm getting antsy to get some 17 or 18" wheels, after seeing S2K-F8's awesome Dazz-Matiz and pntydrpr's C5's.

I love both of those options, as well as the LM and RX from BBS.

Some others I like:

SSR Competition:


I really, really like the Borbet Type-BS:


Also love the Fikse MachV:


and LM/10 (RT has these...)


Anyone have experience with any of these? I am particularly interested in weight/quality comparisons between Borbet, Fikse and SSR.

If you have the $$$, by all means...get the Fikse's!

RT has some that are 18x10 and they weigh like 19 pounds!

Hootsama,

Let me know if you need prices on any of these.
I can check with my buddy down at Good Roads for you.

IMHO, 18's are the way to go.
I don't know about all the others,
but I hear FIKSE makes a very good
quality wheel.

I would wait for the Honda 17in wheels. Proper fit, no hubcentric rings, etc... If you like them, that is.
