Finalists

I have come down to 3 possible wheels for this spring. Which of the following in your opinion would give the tsx an aggressive yet still luxurious look? If any...

Advan Conniosseur 51C 18x7.5 +50


Sidewinder 1 pc 18x7.5 +48


Gram Light T57-RC 18x7.5 +48


Edit: Imagine this blk/blk with the kenstyle kit.

Of those 3, the Advans look like they would accomplish your aim - aggressive enough yet suave enough as well.
Bloody hell! Just checked that site you've linked the image from - $530 each!
Rather you than me.
Are these things forged or cast? I'd expect the former at that price. Either that or Advan's having a laugh.

Their 1 pc cast. Thats one of their downsides. The gramlight 57 Pro are that price and they would be forged.

I agree 100% but 19's in New York City is just asking for problems. I acutally was looking at the axis decades as since they look like the 2pc but in 18's, but I think the g games r lighter and made a bit better(i hope).

gold wheels will def. not be luxurious, haha. if they were silver or gunmetal then it would be a totally different scenario for me

before reading the thread I was leaning toward the Advans, but after reading that they are not forged... I would choose the Gram Lights. That picture of the TSX w/ the Gram Lights doesnt look too appealing since it has massive wheel gaps

sidewinders on an accord (with lips and in gunmetal)

My biggest holdback from getting aftermarket wheels is.....well they look so aftermarket, if not ricey, and kills the smooth luxury sedan look of the TSX.

However, the reason I LOVE the Sidewinders so much is that look so OEM! If there was an Acura emblem in the center, I would have thought they were an 18 inch sports package wheel......


They even look sort of like the 18 inch Audi A4 wheels.

thats the point, they look different among others

not all wheels are ricey, if you buy very cheap wheels, then it will look ricey. most forged wheels look expensive and elegant. take iForged for example, for a higher grade, look at HRE 9 series.

Not always true but agree with you on the most of your statement.

The Advan will not look like the picture in a 50mm offset. There will be virtually no "concave" in the spokes.

My vote is for the g-games only if they were multi-piece.

BTW I have gramlights 57s-pro that will be on sale.
