HP Evo Lightning Wheels
What do you all think of these on a SSM TSX? Have you heard good things or bad about these wheels? Quality? Weight?
I have the A-Spec drop, which of these 5 setups would look the best? Sorry but I'm a newb at this, what do all these numbers mean? Which of these numbers mention the offset? I definitely want the highest one because I do not want it sticking out the side. Also, which tire sizes would you recommend for these rims, remember I have the A-spec drop and do not want there to be even more wheel gap after putting on the new tires (the exact same wheel gap I have now with the A-spec drop and stock wheels would be fine). Thanks in advance, this forum rocks!!

HP normally makes quality wheels. My buddy has a set on his RX8 and has had no problems with them so far and has had them for a year now.

The HP Evo is also available in 18x8 with a +38mm offset. It's "closer", but you'll still stick out noticeably with it. Sorry bud --- I loved those wheels too (along with the Ace mesh wheels). They're great looking, and very inexpensive... but they just don't make a compatible version for FWD cars.
