Finally got some rims

19x7.5 Ron Jon Inspyres are on the way!!!!!! Hopefully, I'll have them on the car next week. I'll post pics as soon as they're on.

It is nice wheel. I know that 18 inch is 24 lbs, but I wonder what weight on 19 inch. I am sure that it might be more weight than 18 inch. I am considering about purchase on ACE ALLOY ARIUA hyperblack for 18.6 lbs on CG soon. The price is not bad at all, it cost $245 dollar per wheel. The website is here: http://www.importtuner.com/features/..._wheelguide04/ The wheel look great on TSX, but the weight is 24lbs.

What size tires are you gonna put on the 19"? give some feedback afterwards on overall ride quality, rubbing or not, and post some pics please. I really like these rims but don't know if i should go with 18" or 19"

I have the 18" inspyres, if i can reccomend Falken Ziex tires, they have a lip protector that sticks out abouta 1/4" from the rim to protect from scuffs, and the traction is amazing. IMO

I got the 18" Inspyres and my Kumhos arrived yesterday... Car should be ready on Tuesday. I put a wheel and a tire in front of the bed so they would be the last thing I see when I fall asleep.

i am really torn! I am just about to buy some 19" inspyres, but they are 27.5 lbs per wheel! Anyone know how much this is going to affect drivability?

you can't really quantify the effect, but it should have a noticable affect on your acceleration. the thing I worry most about would be braking. Check w/ the TL/CL guys as they might have someone w/ 19" inspyres already. And the wheels look gigantic b/c they don't have a lip. 18" look like 19", so you could probably go w/ the smaller size, 19" in those would scare me

I had to make a choice when i produced the wheels, either make them light weight and load rate them for 1100 lbs per corner, or make them comparably weighted to stock wheels, and give them a load rating of 1400 per corner. the latter will guarentee a stronger bend resistant structure that was approved by the DOT as well as JWL, VIA and two other structure tests. I wouldn't want to risk bending a wheel and having to dish out more money to buy new ones here and there, since I used to bend wheels left and right. If weight is a concern, than 19" isn't the way to go, 18" is just as light as the stock 17" wheels.
