Bleser, I know we had this conversation before, but I just really like your wheels. 
I'm thinking of getting wheels in the spring and just using my stockies for winter. Just wondering if you all think that those wheels, but in 17s, would look too small? I'm not planning on lowering or going up to 18s, so I'm not sure how they'll look. I'm thinking it's either these wheels or RonJon Servos, both in 17s.

Bleser, the last picture makes me think, any future plans for tints?

I do agree that tints would look nice, however.

Honestly, if you are 100% set on 17s, then do not get the ASA wheels (or any mesh-style wheel, for that matter). Since the spokes of this style of wheel doesn't extend to the edge of the wheel, it already has a smallish appearance... some people think my 18s look like 17s. I used to have this wheel in 17 on a different car and they look goofy and too "obviously" small. The Servo, although a totally different type of wheel, will look much better as a 17 since its spokes go to the edge of the rim.
Just curious, why are you stuck on 17s? The 18s aren't any more expensive (but yes, you do have to buy tires) and 225/40-18 tires are relatively cheap. Also, the suspension setup I have can be had for < $150 and installed for about the same price, and is completely worth it.
If you get 17s, you'll wish you went with 18s and a minor drop every day you walk to your car... I know I did.

), so I'm just trying to go a slightly cheaper route. I also just bought new tires this year (snows and UHP all-seasons). That's why I'd prefer to just stick with 17s even though I know 18s look better.

Bleser,
I'm bumping this thread to hopefully get your attention, since for some reason I cannot PM you. I boughtmy wife a TSX yesterday, but she likes the wood trim. It's going to be a cmas gift, and I know you swapped yours out. Would you be willing to part with it if you still have it?
