they are 5Zigen FN01R-C

good luck finding them in 5x110 though...they're jap wheels.

looks like they're running about $600-$700 for a set of 4 in 17"

well I was dead set on bronze for the longest time but then I started thinking black...so I'm not sure.

Kinda wanted to get away from black but I think all black might look pretty good...

Yeah. For your color of car I don't think the bronze will match well. Go to a wheel shop and ask if you can have them set the wheels next to the car. Or find someone with the bronze and have them put it next to your car. I have only seen a few colors that looked good with the bronze wheels.

I don't think they are ricey, but I have mostly seen them on imports (can only think of one American car that I have seen bronze on), prodominantly Japanese imports.

Like I said it it ultimately up to you, personally I would look to see how the colors match first hand before deciding.

Well that's bolt pattern/backset issues. Wheels are wheels, I was just talking about the color.

didn't know your car is green either.

i'd still go w/ the bronze though. see too many black/gunmetal rims around.

rotas are just knock-offs of real rims anyway.

honda owners are not the only ones that know rotas are knock-offs. any enthusiast will tell you they are knock-offs. hell, even rota will tell you they are knock-offs. 5zigens are 100X better than rotas so good deal.

LOL!!!!!! That was funny. I have a friend wanting to get ROTA's. I'll show him this comment.

Your car is an interesting color. lol. I'd go with bronze for originality. Mostly see it on deep blue cars liek WRX STi's and stuff. And like DC5's RSX.
