i think they are suppose to be civic type-r rims in 4-lug and offset for non-typeR. I know for sure these aren't the dc5-r rims look.
althought i like the 5 spoke one more tho.

The type-R rims are also 17", so these are 1" smaller.

I don't know why you would get 18's and then buy 16's? Just doesn't make any sense to me, they don't as good as 17's or 18's i think.

Nice work on the 7 split spoke wheels.....they're gonna look wicked. With honda wheels, the fit and finish will be pretty much perfect, not to mention probably much lighter than your 17s.......

The 7 spoke wheels weight about 19.5 lbs so they are HEAVY for a 16" wheel! But if you and a guy with a set of alloys hit a pothole, you won't need a new rim and (s)he will.

Also the fit is obviously perfect since thats almost never a problem. Finish is pretty darn good. They are made by Enkei, but the back of the wheel is a little more rough and unfinished than I expected from such a good company. Anyway worth every penny. You can't even see what I am talking about when they are on so no problem.

We drive Civics. It doesn't get much more cookie cutter than that. Post pics of your Carrera GT or Enzo or something and then you've got room to talk.
