    Looking for recommendations on a lightweight 16x8

    It doesn't have to be super lightweight, but I'm not really looking for huge slugs of metal, either.
    I'm still on stock suspension, but looking to go GC coils soon. Will be slightly lower but not herra frush,just enough to pass the shoe test (i.e I won't push the boundaries of fitment).

    Some options I've been considering:
    CCW-type wheels (esm 007)
    Rota Grids
    maybe style 5s

    I'm just looking for some more ideas and cosmetic inspiration for now.
    What 16x8s do you guys really like?

    Aren't many 16x8 options that aren't reps.

      not necessarily opposed to reps. I'll eventually go to 17" apexes or something, but only once I have something more than a stock b25 under the hood.

        Style 5's are heavy if we're talking about light wheels.

              These are a great choice for a light 16" wheel.

                Thanks for the suggestions, guys!

                I hear the tire choice for 16x8 isn't very good. Are there more choices for 16x7?

                  There are quite a few choices in the 205/50/16 size. Not so much in 225.


                  The Dunlop Z2 comes in 225/45/16.

                    205/45's aren't too bad of a stretch on 8's... kind of mild actually.

                    Here's a pic of my wheels.
