I like the last one best. I think it'd look good on a red car. Other than that, your first choice.
I can't believe how high your estimate was. Hope you're back on the road soon.
Just wondering what everybody's opinions are on these. I'm pretty set on the Circuit 10's, but still slightly open to other suggestions.
My #1 choice:
Some other options:
Damn I wish these would look good on red

Well, since you're looking for opinions, here are a few. These should, of course, be taken with much of that proverbial salt, as it took three years for me to pick wheels for my last car (ouch!).
I find the Circuit 10 VERY busy looking. Seems as though it's be a pain to keep clean, as well.
The Downshift looks like a squished version of the Boost, with a little too much of a bulging appearance where the spokes contact the barrel.
SDX...I dunno. Something about it doesn't appeal. It seems very flat, which isn't a bad thing in itself. The fins at the center are a bit different.
I really like the Boost, perhaps because of the depth of the spokes. 16s and up look great, but the 15s I've seen have been hit or miss.
That version of the Slipstream is actually my favourite of the bunch. It's a very simple, basic design. The red lip actually would do well on a red car, depending on the shade of the coating used (and lack of wheel gap). They have that Time Attack/Volk look for a much lower price, too.
Do you have pictures of any of these wheels on an RSX?

C10's
Not my shade of red, but it gives an approximation... I run Hawk pads, so I like having a slightly darker wheel, damn dust.

I like the Torques better than the C10s, personally.

Those are all the pics I can find without digging too deep. There's one white RSX w/ the red/black slips, but his pics are crappy and the red doesn't show up. Which is what I would worry about w/ that wheel. Flat black just doesn't look that good on red, I think. Volk has 2 versions of this, the flat black is the more popular, but the gloss black one is the better looking one (and much rarer).
FWIW, I will be getting 17x7.5's. Most of the RSX's pictured here are on 17's as well.

I think the slips would look sick on your car and give it a mean look

Thanks for the pictures, Adam! The Circuit 10s look a ton better on the car than just lying around. The dark colour does well, too. Gold and bronze tend to do nicely on red cars, imo.
The silver Grids look decent, as well, but not as much as I'd expected. How about this lovely wheel? Just thought I'd throw it out there...

Here's a CE28N, the gold/polish C10's are pretty much the same look. This one is... interesting... to me; I was leaning more towards bronze until I saw these and got all confused . I'd hit the CE28N's (or the Time Attacks) in a heartbeat if I had the cash for them.
