Type s wheels always look bloody tiny imo. Don't fill the arches anything like enough. Motegi or EP3 for me...

That's what I felt too. :?

I did purchase 5mm spacers to see if they help the wheels fill up the arches. 8-)

Type S for me.

But in all honesty, I would choose dc5 wheels spaced out 10-15mm over any oem Honda wheel.
Dc5 wheels ftw.

I have a 17" Motegi set with centre caps, 2 without tyres and stripped of paint and 2 in good condition with 2 brand new tyres (Less than 500 miles on them) £110 collected?

Type s and dc5 wheels both weight about 8.7kg.
Motegi wheels are close to 9.5kg.

Going from 20kg banded steels to 9kg alloy wheels on my van you won't notice much difference.
