Default Which rims would be best?

Ok, I like the look of the thick 5 star. I used to have Konig Rated R on my Accord and I loved them. My S2000 is white so i wanna go for a rim that is gun metal or bronze.
So far I have looked into - 5zigen Hyper 5zr (if they come in a dark color)
- Momo Sport (same thing)
- Volk Te37
I am looking at 17" or possibly 18"s. Im gonna go with probably a Pirelli Pzero series (not sure which ones) I also want to go with a wide back tire. Like a 8.5 - 10 range.
I dont want the rims to stick out (obviously) and the car will be lowered and in the future im looking to get a break kit.

Now, with all your knowledge put together what would you guys suggest will be the best rim for my application?

Thanks
mbitton

I went with Volk GT-C's. Thick spoke. Different look. Call Jeff at Evolution (evoS2000 - screen name). Great service. He can get you these or othe Volk wheels.

Mbitton,

Just came across this thread while browsing, and I too like the wider 5 spoke look, but not to wide. I am looking to sell my 18" Konig Villians. I have a 18x8 F and 18x9 rear. The look is awesome. They come right to the edge of the car, which gives a very aggressive look. Although without a stiffer suspension or a fender roll, you will get some rubbing. I took off the "villian" sticker, and now they look just like the SSR Integral!

Here is a link to show what they look like, it is at the bottom of this page. I am trying to get a digital picture to post, but apparently it is difficult to post pics here.

And here is the link to the SSR's with more photos, there are even some on cars.

They are a powder coated silver, but could be powdercoated any color you want. I have a local powdercoating place that can do a whole set for $200.

I would make a killer deal on wheel and tires. They are currently mounted to Nitto 555. With only about 5k miles, they still look new. 225/40 F, and 255/35 R.


Let me know if you are interested,

Sean

By the way, the Hyper 5zr comes in 19" only, and it is not currently available in a darker silver. I know, because that is what I am getting. The whole set of 19" wheels and tires is going to cost over $4000 with tax....OUCH.
