hiya
my friend says borbets are not good. he recommends bbs.
as i know next to nothing about wheels... i can't really comment on their quality.
as for aesthetics, i like the 5-spoke w/out the false 2 piece look.
and sal, i tried signing your disclaimer, but now i just have my sig on my screen!!!

If you like a nice 5-spoke design, try the type Es... I had type Bs on my integra, and they were great-quality for a decent price...
my only problem was that after HARD driving (at and beyond the limits of adhesion with a +1 setup on Khumos) the little decorative center emblems fell off.... they are like 5-bucks each to replace, no biggie.
the HARD driving was a 25mph entrance ramp I slid around at about 70 in 3rd... it was beautiful... trail braked into it and let the tail come out while I dialed in enough excess angle to correct the FWD push and settle into a mostly steady-state slide around a 270-degrees, off-camber, downhill ramp. that was perhaps the finest day of my motoring life....
back to wheels... I think the borbets are a great idea, they are not too heavy, and they are cheap enough that you aren't signing away your children for them. and they look good.
my personal preference in the type E, but the Rs are nice too... i was never a big fan of the type S, but it does look good on the coupe.
