While we are on the subject just was wondering- I have an 05 SE-R (non Spec V) and wanted to upgrade to the brembo brake package that the Spec V model has. I was looking at buying the Enkei RS7 rims in 17x7 Do you guys think the they will work ok with the brembo brake package? help me out guys thanks!
Don't get me wrong, I love my Brembo option...but just be warned it SEVERELY limits your wheel options. My strong advise is to go to a local tire place and tell them you have a 05 Spec-V w/Brembo option and let them tell you what fits the car. To give you an idea, I went to my local Firestone and they didn't even have 1 wheel that would fit. I currently have a set of Racing Sparco DS1's on the way.
Do you have the anti-lock brakes? I believe there is a conflict between the Brembo option and anti-lock brakes. When I ordered my car you could not get both.
Just got my new wheels on today, and damnit they look mean. They were not too pricy, but I used the link below and took it to a local "Tires Plus". The fella was kinda reluctant to match their price, but he did it. Here is the link:

What if you don't have Brembos but would like to upgrade the front brakes later. Will another brand of brake cause this rim issue as well? Should I look for something that clears the brembos even if I do not have Brembos?

I don't think anybody can tell you for sure which rims will fit your brake system in the future if you are not sure which brake system you are going to get. I would suggest getting your brakes figured out first, and then get wheels. It may save you a lot of money in wheels.
