I have had these on my 96 RS for about 2 months and am quite satisfied with them. They fit well enough to look almost like they're stock; in my case this is especially true because I have 55 profile tires on them. They are a "spoke" style one-piece cast wheel with open lugs. Cleaning off brake dust is not as much work as I expected, not much different than on other wheels. The spoked pattern is very strong and rigid, with a minimum of unsupported rim span. These wheels came with very nice anodized-aluminum hubcentric rings that press fit into the wheel centers to mate to the Integra hubs; they also came with nice lug nuts and metal-cap valve stems.

I have Dunlop SP8000 tires on them, size 195/55 ZR15. I mention this because I'd like to say the tires grip very well, and also, they appear to be wider than other 195/55's I've seen, definitely wider than a Michelin XGT in the same size. If you put these on some stock 6 inch rims they would look a bit pinched, but they look perfect on the BBS with the extra 1/2 inch of width. If you wanted to use Michelins on this rim size, you should use a 205/55 or 205/50.
