Default New Wheels Maybe? Looking For Input

so i'm a little tired of my 17x7 goldies and decided to go staggered. i'm looking at a falken wheel 17x7.5 up front and 17x9 in the rear. 215/45 and 235/40 tires respectively. what do you guys think? i personally think the wheel looks great but my friends say they look too much like acura wheels and they're kind of generic. now i'm wondering if they'll look good on an xa!

i can get them for a crazy price, good enough that i'll be having them painted very soon. if anyone knows how to post up a pic, please do so.

A little generic looking but would probably look good painted.

I assume you mean the Hanabis... personally i think they look great, and the bronze color would look geat with your white. The offsets are awesome too, esp on the 17x9's! AND crazy light...

I would go a little smaller on the tires for more of a stretched look...

There's a guy on here with an xB with bronze 17's, looks damn good. There's some pics on edgeracing.com that show the silver ones, those also look nice on the Civic they're on. Either way those wheels rock.

yeah, definately the hanabis. i love the weight but worry a bit about the actual style. everyone at my job thinks they look like integra wheels! i do too but i still dig em. i'll most likely go with silver and have them painted either gold or lime green.

That would look sweet, especially the lime green (or Tein green perhaps?)
