Nay, they look gay. Be a real man and get some tough wheels like some lowenharts like these.

I don't know where you live but I'd like to see a "Honda ricer" with offsets like that. And how does that look cheap? Last time I checked Rays' are not cheap.

It's not about the offset but the style.

Again not about the brand but the style. How many people out their know how much different rims are worth? Or even rim brands?

I've see that style of so many Hondas. You know where it has a U shaped spoke. I have never seen anyone with a BMW, Mercedes Benz, Bentley or any nice care ever put a rim that looks remotely similar to that one on their cars.

Not to mention the offsets are to aggressive and the rims aren't even that wide.

Heres your solution: Get a set of rims that are staggered and no one can compare them to any front wheel drive car and plus staggered on the SC is SEX

A yarn-stitched steering wheel looks cheap. Rays wheels do not.

Definitely a yay, and aggressive 18's look hot

Damn he called you out on the steering wheel...

Rays makes Gram Lights, and in the proper offset I think those would look very nice, as well they are a quality wheel.
Alot better than Rota's, and alot lighter than Lowenharts. It's obvious you want a sporty look, yet a somewhat affordable price.
Those you posted are a good choice. I would get 19", but 18" will still look nice if they are around a +22 offset. Don't get +35 or +40 that'll be really sunk-in at that size. 8" in front is alittle tame. Go atleast 9" all around widths. 10" in the rear if possible.

The wheels are okay. That sizing is not okay. 9/10 in that offset would be fine.
