if you're gonna do it, do it right the first time...go with a good wheel... volks have been good to me on my accord, and i'm going with another set when i get the EVO. don't cheap out on wheels. cheap wheels weigh more, and break easier. my wheels are 17x7.5 and weigh in at 14.2lbs each...ive hit every type of pothole known to man, a curb or two...one at 50mph dodging a chunk of concrete that fell out of a dumptruck in front of me...and i've beat them up on the track. other than a small scrape on the rim i hit the curb with, they are still in perfect condition. i picked up the handling performance i was after without sacrificing speed by increasing unsprung weight in the process.
