if i ever went to 15inch these would be the ones to replace my koseis k1
Enkei RPF1 4x100 15x7 ET35 4.4kg. Their size is the absolute one for civics increasing the width of the axles to the upper optimum level, being also very lightweight.

They look almost identical to koseis k1 racing

i was thinking the possibility of upgrading to 15 inch wheels. I would like them to be light (no more than 6kg) and wide enough. So the ideal would be 15x7 et35. I am considering the following options
SSW S093 6.5X15 4X100
Image
SPARKO PISTA 15*6,5

I can't find the make of this one, do you know it?

Could you help a bit finding their weight?
What is your opinion?

I have a second pair with 15x7 et 35 and toyos 888 195-50-15 which are a bit wider than road tyres of this size. Never had an issue with clearance and i was lowered too. But it also depends on the amount of lowering. If it isn't extreme i wouldn't bother.

After some search I came across some Japan replica wheels called Japan Racing Wheels or Nippon Racing Wheels. They are something like Rotas only cheaper. Other than that I would say that they may have a wider variety of colours, sizes and designs. Also no matter how hard I tried on the internet I couldn't find someone to blame them or to mention a cracked or damaged wheel. As for their weight the 15inch wheels must be around 6 kg, which is acceptable.
Have a look at the designs etc.

I think this is a good chance to get fancy looking wheels normally priced! Which one you like most on civics?
I would say these

The first ones are my favorites! They seem to be a good replica of the Rays Volk's TE37, and come in 15'' size also!
saxpohonias, do you have any feedback on those, because i feel like getting a set.
Also do you guys think that they will look good on 15'' size?
