Default Wheels- What to do

Am struggling to get a decent set of 17" allots, not many fit properly and the ones that dop cost silly money. Am starting thinking about getting the polished 17's, 5 spokes, that come as standard on newer S2000's. Although these wont be silly cheap they will be light. Any suggestions?

Depends how quickly you want them. MY06 model is out soon with new style alloys, may be to your taste!

No pics dude because they dont exisit! JDMs on MY99-04 had the option of 5 spokes, which are standard in the UK, or 6 spoke BBS alloys (the ones SteveM's refering to) which are very light.
