Aspec, Volk, or 5Zigen?

Hey guys...I'm getting rims for Christmas and I was wondering what you all liked better: the Acura TL A-spec 18x8.5 rims, Volk SF-CHallenges, or the 5Zigen 5ZR rims.

I personally like the A-spec rims cuz they are wider and they kinda look more aggressive. If so, if any of you know where i can get these rims for a good price, please post.

Thanks

Im sure that I want 18 inch rims, 19 is probably a little too much for my taste...but in terms of width...what do you all think? i personally like 8.5, i dont know why...

The 8.5" TL A-Spec rims were made in '04; this year they're 8". I'm not sure you'll find too many new 8.5" sets around for that reason. Also, they were only available in a gunmetal; not sure if that's what you're looking for. You might find a set in the Acurazine TL Black Market.....

Keep in mind that Volks are extremely difficult to get. If Makin (distrubitor) dosent have them in stock, expect a 3 month wait.

I would not get the 2004 TL A-Spec, it will stick out slightly from the fender. Get the 2005 A-Specs which fit better and have new colors.

Volks arent that difficult to get. shipments come all the time and some stores have them in stock. If you were to get custom color/size then prepare to wait.

Not bad.

Just be sure that when the wheels go on, check for rubbing, especially if the car is going to get dropped. Those are some wide wheels...

A set of Volk can buy 2 set of a-spec or 3 set of 5-zigen. I like the 5-zigen hyper 5ZR and think it looks pretty hot. If it didn't have those rivet on the inner rim(18"), I already have them on already.
