Wheels for a Type R
Im looking to get new wheels for my Type R V5! What would you guys get? I've got 2 possibilities but wondering if there are any others that I've overlooked!
My favourites are
17x8 Rota Force in graphite
18x17.5 Revolution Milleniums in anthracite
Any other options?

That's what they all say
I love those wheels but require different ones to fit over Brembos
They will be going on this

17's and wide would be my choice, maybe some 8.5 x 17s with rolled arches and some BCs to give it that mean look

I personally feel the 22B wide body kit is a bit subtle for my liking though,from a distance it still looks standard but each have there prefrence
I'm still not sure what colour I will go with the wheels on mine but your's will defo need dark

I'm not feeling the wide wheel, rolled arch look! I want it looking OEM-ish but still be able to track it now and then

I totally agree with you mate, I had 17's on my type r and it handled great, put 18's on as needed to upgrade brakes and totally lost its poise and balance imho

Will the 17s clear Brembos? If so what offset and width wheel?
Cheers for all the pics, I can get a set of 18 inch Oz P1 wheels but are old
they are immaculate too!! 17 inch Revolutions if they clear the brakes will be a winner!!
