Let me rephase that. $1300 just rims. I want to invest in a good rim for long term use. I'm planning to keep it for a very long time. How about tires? I heard yoko's are pretty good. I'm prolly gonna get yoko's. Any suggestion?

Bridgstone Potenzas for tires. Rather expensive, but they're great tires. I'm partial to the S-03's, cuz i have them, but any performance based Bridgestone will do you well...

The Bridgestone Potenzas are very similar in many ways to the Kumho Ecstas. If you're looking for a decent all-season sports tire at a very inexpensive price, Kumho will do you well. But it sounds like you have plenty of cash, so I'd go with Potenzas.

I recommend the Volk Gram Lights 57 (57 pro). They're brand new and pretty good. I don't know their weight yet, but they should be really light.
A great set of wheels (if you can find them, esp since most honda/acura owners don't know about them) are from the "Drift King". KEIOFFICE. I think the 15 in rims are like... 8lbs. I don't know of anyone that imports these here. You just have to go to Japan or have them shipped here by someone there. They lack on style.. but they're all about performance.
