    Ok I did. Found this useful article.. I'm gonna paste it here for others who don't no, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    This type of wheel utilizes two or three components assembled together to produce a finished wheel. Multi-piece wheels can use many different methods of manufacturing. Centers can be cast in various
    methods or forged. The rim sections for 3-piece wheels are normally spun from disks of aluminum. Generally, spun rim sections offer the ability to custom-tailor wheels for special applications that would not be available otherwise. The rim sections are bolted to the center and normally a sealant is applied in or on the assembly area to seal the wheel. This type of 3-piece construction was originally developed for racing in the early 1970s and has been used on cars ever since. The 3-piece wheels are most popular in the 17" and larger diameters. There are now many options for 2-piece wheels in the market. The 2-piece wheel design does not offer as wide a range of application that a 3-piece wheel allows, however they are more common in the market and the prices start well below the average 3-piece wheel. Some 2-piece wheels have the center bolted into a cast or cast/spun rim section and other manufacturers press centers into spun rim sections and weld the unit together. When BBS developed a new 2-piece wheel to replace the previous 3-piece street wheel, they used the special rim-rolling technology (originally developed for racing wheels) to give the rim section the weight and strength advantages similar to a forged rim. On the high-end of the 2-piece wheel market you can find wheels using forged rims and forged centers. Since these are only sold in small volume and due to the high development and production costs associated with the forging process, they tend to be on the high end of price scale.

                  Actually, as sad as it sounds... Falken Hanabis. 17", bronze. I had a set, they got damaged and then stolen. They are now discontinued.

                  Tracklite makes a set close to those called the curve, i'm also pretty sure you can get them in 17in but they are listed as 15's.

                  Don't know much about them i just stumbled upon these from another forum.


                  Even if i had to run adapter's of some sort and had the money i would run a set of iroc's even the stock 16x8's.

                            A few:

                            Work Meister CR-01/OsakaJDM Loop 5 (if I had the money, I'd get them to make some for me in like a 16x8 +35 & 16x7.5 +38 front-biased stagger - probably in this color)


                            Standard TE37, about the same specs but in 17" and in Mercury Silver; call me crazy, but to me these wheels, in silver, look enough like something OEM that they don't shout "hey, come steal me" too loudly


                            RPF1 (16 or 17", I'm not sure. I think they look better in 16", but I'm trying to find a wheel for my RSX that I can later use on my CB after a 5-lug conversion; 16s on a DC5 are like 15s on a CB7 and I'm getting either these or the TE's)
