How about these

What do you guys think about these wheels? Will an offset of 40 fit well on the TSX? The Next wheels are really light (16lbs for the 17 inchers according to Konig's web site).

I've loved the Tantrums since I first saw them back in '98 so I'm so tempted.

I like the seven spokes Konig one. I like it cuz of the fact that they're knock offs from Advan model 7. Those just look too sexy!!!

Personally not a fan of the Tantrum because the spokes are flat. I think the Next's are gorgeous and are actually VERY light for a cast rim. The Troubles are intersting, never seen them on anything.

I'm really torn between these three. They're relatively cheap and I've had good experiences with Konig wheels. They're all lighter than the stock wheels too, which is a plus.

I'll probably be putting 235/40/17 Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S or Bridgestone Potenza RE750's on them. I know that those two are different class of tires but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep my stock rims or not for winter.

So would 235/40/17 tires with +40 offset wheels fit OK on the TSX? I don't want any problems with rubbing or anything.

I really like the Trouble rims they'd look tight on black or Carbon Grey.

+40 would be one of the lowest anyone's done? 18x7.5 +42 looks like its the limit, what width are you getting?

Well I'm going to be getting 17" rims so I'll probably go for 225/45/17. All three wheels are 7" wide. Would that be ok?

EDIT: Actually, the Trouble rims are +45 offeset, the Tantrum and Next are +40

Don't go +40 offset.

There are so many rims on the market for the TSX at the moment pick something that is +42 and above - preferably +45, or +48.

Thanks for the advice. What would happen if I went to +40 offset? I think I'm leaning towards the Trouble rims anyways and they're +45 so it's all good. Now I just gotta scrounge up the cash!
