Having consulted y’all for paint color options, (thanks again to DucST3-EnthusiastAlwaysWantsToUpgrade for the Miami Blue suggestion) I’m here today for wheel ideas. Suggest a nice clean set of wheels, and also suggest something ridiculous! Only rule is it must fit on the car.
Above is my car, with its stock 14" alloys. Realistically, the biggest I can go is 16" unless I run lots of spacers and a crazy offset. The front suspension simply doesn’t allow for a larger tire size, and I’d rather not do coilovers at this time to make space for that.
So my parameters for fitment are as follows:
Reasonable diameter (15" or 16" preferred)
Wider than the 6" wide stock wheels.
5x114.3 bolt pattern available. Unless it’s durable and looks really good, I don’t want to change out the hubs.
Durable. I will be using the car for fun autocross shenanigans as well as daily duties, so I’m more concerned with strength than weight.
In terms of looks and style, I’m open to all ideas. My original idea was to go for a clean OEM look, but I kind of want to see what you all dream up too.

ROH Azzuro in Matt Black. 15" X 6" or 16" X 6.5" in your BCD.
Or the Speedy Alien in 16"X 7" in your fit

1st Gen nsx rims. Matrix AWD front wheels studs, with 15mm spacers up front. 25mm hubcentric spacers in the rear. I’m on stock suspension and Dunlop dizzarella z2 star specs. Killer cheap setup. On the expensive side a set of fifteen52 turbomacs. Same tires.

Silver wheels look better than black wheels on blue cars imo

Let’s see if I can go two for two!
I’m thinking stay with the 5 spoke, but go for more modern, ie not gray. Thinking black or gun metal. I like these ones

If you’re planning to keep the staggered setup and go for performance-oriented tires, you might want to search online to see what tire options are still available for wheel size range — you may find there’s not a whole lot to choose from until you start looking at tires for 17" wheels.
Either way, as for aftermarket wheels on SW20s, I like ones that retain some semblance of the factory 5-spoke pattern.
SSR Integral A2s are discontinued, but if you can find them, they look great:
Motegi Traklites are still in production and have a similar look with a fair price:
And a popular, but more expensive choice, are Enkei RPF1s:
