It took me forever to find a wheel I liked in a size/offset/bolt pattern that'll work on a c900. Everything I've liked it either stupid-expensive or weighs a ton or requires some crazy spacer to work...
I finally settled on a set of Rota Grids. They are a ripoff of the Volk TE37, which is a fine looking wheel in a modern, but classic design. The Rota part is 16x7", +40mm offset, 16lbs in a 16" size, and drilled for a 14mm wheel bolt. It's as close to plug & play as I've found.
I used that cool 25% rebate thingy on Ebay, bought from lsd_motorsports (they listed this wheel specifically for me!) so I ended up paying $405 including shipping - that's a steal for a light wheel! Wheels took four days to get here (shipped from SoCal to NorCal.
Tires are coming, but here's a preliminary... I'm sure some will hate it, but I think it's gonna look mighty fine. And, I can dump the 25lb Super Aeros at last!
