EP-R5 Silverstars?

Hey can anyone tell me if there are two versions of the ep-r5 Silverstar rims? I've heard there are two versions, one being darker and having a different offset. Is this true? Also, anyone know where I can get a good deal on some used ones for my black TSX? Thanks in advance!

From my understanding, the Silverstars made for the TSX is +55 offset. While the accord/civic SI ep-r5 is +45 offset and is darker. I got my set of ep-r5 off the black market section on the forums.

DCH Honda is selling both versions on their ebay site:

Thanks for the info. I've been looking at that seller's wheels but don't see where he has both types. Could I go with either one? I know my factory rims are 55 offset but I read anything over 42 is ok, so the 45 would be fine right? How would this effect handling, etc?

No issues with the +45. Stock is +55, so It's all about your preference and you can go with either one.

Awesome, thanks. Now if I can just find a better deal on a used set I'll be good to go! I've been looking on other forums but can't find any for sale these days...
