Honestly I was looking at NICHE wheels for my fiancee's car. She end up choosing the AG M621 over the niche surge. Most wheels are manufactured almost the same. Now you're just buying the name in my imo.

Don't know NICHE. I'd compare weight of any wheel to the weight of what's it's replacing. I'm unsure if most wheels are made the same. These are recommended on the other Acura site by a TLX member. Vossen Wheels

Vossen is by far and away the best at marketing, but they just make average quality wheels. Nothin special about them, hell they don't even offer custom offsets and hub sizes, so they make their wheels to be one size fits all. That's why some people have to run smaller tires in vossen wheels so they have clearance as sometimes the offset is too aggressive.

Not to mention how crazy expensive they are. I have no doubt they're good quality, but 3-4 k once you have a good tire to go with them is ridiculous IMO.

Personally i believe niches are sets of nice wheels and affordable. You cant go wrong if youre on the cosmetic side. Own a set myself

I looked at that style and considered Niche when I got my rims 6 months ago. I went with TSW because for design. I think Niche is a good brand. Yeah there is Vossen and other high end ones but for the money I'm guessing the Niche ones are fine. That style looks good! Similar Y spoke pattern to the NSX. Hoping you do it and post pics!
