Default What wheels for my new Accord?

Now I know this is LS1 tech, but I respect you guy's opinion on appearance mods and would like some help (and dont wanna go to some Honda site w/a bunch of ricers that will tell me to get some ugly *** rims lol). So I just bought this 04 Accord Coupe V6 6spd w/navi (the first car I bought on my own! wohoo! And ya, still have the TA, see sig)and so far I have coilovers for it and next I need some wheels and tires. So my question for you guys is what wheels do you like better, or do you have any better ideas? BTW they are both 18x8s. And I wont be buying right away, as I dont have any money right now, but soon...
Thanks and for those who like to flame, I know I bought a Honda and no its not rice, so dont bother posting.

1. Enkei Z-R1 (haha, really they are ZR1s!)


2. Konig Kolors


And one of my car (it will be lowered before I get wheels)

I'd say Konig Kolors with a polished lip in gunmetal or gloss/flat black. I'm not much of a honda person but I think it would clean and tasteful.

Thank you, I am definetly going with gunmetal or charcoal because that is going to be my color scheme.

I think you'd like Rota Subzeros. They're a similar split-spoke design. They come in every color imagineable and are very inexpensive.

I dont think the Rota Subzeros come in 5 lug and I see a lot of people running Rota wheels, I want to be as different as possible without being ugly.

Your right and damn they are cheap! Might be an option, but I wonder about a center cap, does it have one or what?

Go Enkei. 5 points > 6 points.

Yeah, the centercaps are fake carbon fiber. They don't look too bad. You can also get flush-fitting center caps in the color of the wheel from them. Grids are replica TE37s for half the price.

As much as I like the cheapness and lightness of the Rotas, I dont think I will like them on my car. Maybe later as a set of race wheels & tires. What are the lightest and cheapest Rotas that will fit my car (if you know)?
And as for the other two options TS99V6 gave, I dont think I like the writing or the designs that much. But thanks again for the input!

18" Subzeros weigh 18.2 lbs. I think they may be the lightest.

Cool, thanks man, you really know your stuff. How much would some 16" Subzeros weigh? (I would get either 16" or 17" for the track, hell maybe even 15, but I guess it depends upon what I am doing (autox, strip, etc), but I'm still not sure yet...)

I don't know exactly how much the 15 and 16 inch Subzeros weigh. The 17" Subzeros weigh 17.2 lbs. The link I put on earlier is where I got the info. You can email them and get all the info you need. I've bought 2 sets of Rotas from them so far. Rotas are decent wheels, perfect for weekend racing.
