Should I go with the Mugen GP wheels?

The tires on my Si is worn out so I am also thinking about changing the rims. I like the mugen GP wheels but they are gunmetal color and I really like flat black wheels so I have a hard time to decide. What do you think?

These?

It’s a nice looking wheel, but my experience with Mugen parts is that they’re overpriced. The lowest I’m seeing around the Net is a Grand, and that’s on eBay (vaseline optional). What about these?

Also – do you really need 18s? A 17 is a better fit for the car, performance-wise, and you’ve got more options in tires. TireRack.com has around 240 wheels that will fit your ride. No need to spend $1800 on bling.

You are absolutely right. 18 is too big. Without big brakes the wheels would look like bike wheels :) The GP is forged so it helps a little in weight but tires are more expensive, and the thinner sidewall is a concern for me. I have been looking for 16’ or 17’ 7 spoke flat black design but so far haven’t found any ones I like. I guess I will just keep looking so more.

You know it’s not that hard to paint rims…..
