Gunmetal, definately. I would think a 40 offset would be fine, but I don't know. I always stick to factory wheels, be it a Honda/Acura or my beloved Mazda.

I'm not really a fan of the Slipstream just because it's such a common style among quasi-JDM type folks, but whatever.

Out of the three finishes you've chosen I would say go with "sport bronze" (the darker of the two). I think the regular bronze is a bit too light in color and looks pukey on a green car, and that it only really works on a white, black or blue car. The gunmetal is a bit too dark for me to actually look like gunmetal and ends up looking like you have steel wheels. The gunmetal w/ polished lip version of these wheels just looks kind of stupid because of how the lip is shaped.

There's also nothing wrong with plain old silver wheels, even if they're not "JDM" looking in the current trend.

According to www.wheelweights.net a 16x7" Slipstream weighs 14.5 lbs and a stock '98-'01 GSR wheel weighs 16.3 lbs.
