So I looking for a set of wheels for my 1987 CRX Si. My choices so far are the following:
 
1. Enkei RPF1 - 15" x 7" - +41 Offset - Image is actual spec listed
CRX-004.jpg
CRX-005.jpg
2. Enkei Compe - 15" x 7" - +38 Offset - Image is actual spec listed

The price of the RPF1s is the max I'd like to spend on wheels. If you have other suggestions other than what I posted that would be great, but please only include wheel sizes that would fit with no modification.
 
Currently I'm thinking the RPF1s are the better choice.

Have you looked at 949's 6UL?  I think they're a pretty good looking and light wheel that fits your budget. If you don't like those, I vote the RPF1's.

If you go for bigger brake systems, the RPF1's are a bit more restrictive than 6UL's based on my Gen 1 CRX experience.

There isn't a 6UL size currently available for my application, they have a 15" x 6" +40 offset coming in January. The only 15" x 7" that come close is the Spec Miata at +24 offset.

You would most likely have more luck searching for a used set through searchtempest.com, ebay or on any miata/honda forums.

Maybe, but I'm not going to take the time to search for them, searching those sites yielded no results.

Well, I've been really bouncing around on wheels, so I'm tossing in another idea, does anyone know if this will work:

 

BMW E30 BBS Mesh (Basket Weaves) 14" x 6.5" et +30 with 195/60r14 tires?

 

Please let me know, found a decent deal on a set locally and I figure they would look pretty good on my 1g CRX.

I don't see why they wouldn't.

That's what I was thinking, the tire moves just 10 mil out, so when I try measuring out, it looks like it will fit, however I'm limited to 195 with, which isn't horrible, still have the option to run the Dunlop ZII Star Spec 185/60-14 or Falken Azenis 195/60-14.
