opinions on Si wheels

I am thinking about just getting some 99-00 Si wheels for my 02 sedan. do you think theyll look good? I know I can get some for cheap, but I just need an opinion. I know theyre light, and theyre only 15"... but I don't mind the low-key look. should i just look at some other wheels or should i consider these? I would get some good rubber (with a lower profile) for them and probably keep my steelies for the winter. any advise? if you can talk me out of this, please do. I just want something benefitial for the car (17"s waste too much power), that doesnt break the bank, and also doesnt have too much bling.



oh yeah i was reading about turbo civic hatch sleeper a few month back (i think in scc) that had some Si wheels, and that's what caught my eye on really looking into some.

I gotta be totally honest with you... they look better on the sedans than they do on the coupe. Somebody at the TV station down the street has a Silver 7th gen sedan with the 00 Si wheels on it and they look real nice. If I can come up with a digicam, I'll try to nab a pic if the car is there, but they'll look good.

why not get some Rota Slipstream with Spoon look, light weight too. I'm getting 16" soon... i believe Si rims are 16.5 lbs so, Rota is lighter~

Rota Slipstream~
15x6.5 = 11.9 lbs
16x7=14.5 lbs
