OK, I think I want to stick to 19 inch on a FL5, but not sure about the width. This is for regular stuff and perhaps bit of track.

So the Volk TE37 ultra M-SPEC. Would 10inch be better than 9.5?

Also I'm thinking of matching with Bridgestone Potenza Sport

Possibly this:

Suggestions and reasons?

Or would it be better to go 18inch and higher sidewall...?

A couple of questions:

What color is the car?
What is the application? In other words, are you tracking the car or do you just want nice wheels on a street car?

I'm generally not a fan of 18s on the FL5. I believe the car looks best and is better suited for 19s. I'm also likely in the minority, but I'm not a fan of the TE37 wheel. I liked them in the mid-to-late 90s when RAYS first introduced them, not in 2023. It's been overdone IMHO. I would look at the following wheels: Spoon SW388, CE28N (or SL), OEM forged option. If I had to go 18", I would look at the Mugen MF10. The CE28 also looks good in 18s on this car. This is all personal preference of course. Post some photos once you pull it all together.

I think 18s are normally better for track or performance use (maybe even comfort) but I also think I agree that Honda designed the car to better suit with the 19 inch size.

18s are popular for the TE37s on this car, I'm personally going to run te37sl. We have 15% off on all volks right now too.

Colour will be CW.

As I said, it's for mainly road, maybe track but not often. I agree that the 19s look better on this car:

I didn't think CE28N were avail for 19 inch though. This site states 19-inch CE28N-Plus wheels coming in 2025:

I'll have a look at your suggestions, thanks.
