Need your opinion...

OK guys, this picking rims thing is absolutely killing me. I have no idea where I want to go with my 2006 NBP TSX... I have been looking for weeks and I'm as lost as ever. I THINK I have gotten it down to two VERY different rims. Let me know which ones you guys like better

1) Ace Manta


2) Rota Formula Mesh

Did you get these or was it just a reference?

I am interested in these same wheels, but the 17"

How about this rim?

With the Ace Manta's, what I was trying to go for was a similar look to the Volk GT-Vs. The GT-Vs are incredibly expensive (for good reason) and more than I would like to spend on rims at the moment. Any one know of any replicas to the GT-Vs? This is what they look like:

there is actually an exact replica wheel of the volk GT-V.

The wheel is made by a quality wheel company called Axis. The wheel is very strong however there is no wait saving at all.

The wheel is called the Axis Matrix.



here on this site a 19x8 is listed at 360 a wheel which is not bad at all.

Size question:

Will an 18x7.5 (5x114.3), +42 offset and a 73.1 centerbore fit perfectly? Also, what is a tuner lug nut?

i say Ace mantras...they don't look so good on the page...but i think they'll look classy when they're on your car...(ie. i think most bmw rims look ugly when isolated, but they look pretty luxury when actually on the car)
