Sup fellow TSX'ers,

Vehicle: 2006 Acura TSX PWP

My car is currently running 05 TL rims 17X8 45offset and I just got new tires 235/45/17. Driving through the hazardous NYC streets caused 2 rims to CRACK!! Now tax season came right on time for me to buy new wheels. I have been reading forums about forged wheel/casted wheels etc. I need your help in finding a good set of rims that have a good reputation while not breaking a hole in my wallet. My budget is around $800.00. I've been looking on TireRack and found the following to be possible contenders, any experience with these brands? I read O.Z. are pretty good but I know the best is BBS and others.

- O.Z. Adrenalina http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_gara...t+Black+Accent

PLEASE HELP by providing your experience with the manufacturer of the wheel. In regards to the style since I have a PWP 2006 TSX w/ custom black grille and tinted tail lights I want a combo of Black Wheels w/ machined. All input is appreciated. If you know any other websites with good deals that would be awesome. Thanks guys..

OZ makes great rims. I have Superleggeras and love them. I'm not crazy about the Adrenalinas' style, but that's just me.

Enkeis would be my next choice.

Thanks Green_Henry. Any other websites you might know with good deals on Enkies? I found 1010tires and wheelnext.com but maybe you know others...

Enkie is a quality wheel, but they're heavy (and most likely the company that manufactured your TL wheels. The were, and I'd guess still are, the alloy wheel supplier for Honda, among others).

Forged wheels are usually the strongest per unit mass, but this advantage is often used to decrease the weight of the wheel (rather than increasing strength). They are usually the most expensive. At your price point, you will most likely get something cast.

If you find a cast wheel lighter than your stock wheel, chances are it will not be as strong and you may increase your chances of damaging wheels. Replacing the damaged OEM wheels might be your best bet.
