I love my VR, and for being all stock on the body itself, still turns a lot of heads around town. I'm thinking about getting these rims, what do you all think?

Don't get something more than 19" diameter, less than 8" width, more than 24 lbs, or less than $200 each.

The SFs are the 'road' wheels, with stock size tyres. They're actually 'borrowed' from my boss here. They need a refurb, they used to be on an Evo. I'm lining up some 17x8.5s for track work this summer.
