I need help figuring out what these wheels look like!

I love the style of the wheels, but I compiled a gallery of pictures of the wheels I found around the net and the finish looks different in every picture. Check it out...

Keep in mind that every wheel in this gallery has the same finish!

Has anybody seen these wheels in person? I am putting them on an '04 CGP and I am afraid that they are going to be too dark or a bad match. Opinions/insight would be greatly appreciated!

Color/sheen looks great. Not my favorite design, though-but should be 50lbs lighter than the Inspires!

So which of the pictures in my gallery would you say is most true-to-life the majority of the time?

the detail of the Lancer. But it will most assuredly look 'brighter' in person.

Any general opinions on how people think these wheels will look on a CGP TSX?

This is probably the most major decision I've made in my life in the last 4 years! Kinda pathetic, but I sure do love my car

Funny, another guy was asking about these for his 1st gen TSX in the 2nd gen TSX forum...

It was me who posted in the wrong section.

I didnt know these wheels were so popular.

Will the 18x8 and 40 mm offset fit the car without any rubbing?

According to the tirerack website,the 18x8 only come with a 40 offset.

18x8 +40 should fit fine depend on the tire size and how low you are will determine if you rub of not.

I am looking at 235/40/18 for tires and no drop in suspension at this point. The reason I picked that size is that its closest to the stock diameter. Yesterday I managed to do a bit of measurements on the stock setup and it does have about 30mm clearance between the top of the tire and the inner lip of the rear when two people are in the back seat.

I can go with 225/40/18 or 215/45/18 if it would make a difference.

Hey Bud

I just put these on my 04 Black TSX. THEY LOOK SICK. I'll take some pics tomorrow and upload them. I bought the Hyper Silver ones and i have to say they look like gun metal. I saw the actual "gun metal" ones on a civic and they are basically black

I got them off tire rack BTW
