18x8.5... Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they will fit anyway. I do like those wheels though!

Well in general wheelmax sells replica wheels, knockoffs of expensive japanese rims. I thought those were Volk SF-Winning replicas, but they're not, they may be BBS rims but I don't know which ones. Either way, wheelmax has a low reputation, you should check other forums about their wheels (try clubrsx)

It'll fit w/ the right offset

not sure how much you want to spend, but Konig's are not very expensive and are pretty good I think.

Konig Imagine Opal:


Konig Theory Opal Machined Lip


ADR M-Sport


Racing Hart C2


Lock Smice Mesh (?)


Ok, time for bed, lol!

I'm pretty sure they're replica's of the bbs rs-gt



which are $816/wheel for 18x8's at tirerack.com, I'm sure all of the replica's are significantly cheaper

What do you guys think of the 18" Konig Theory's, i ordered them and im anxiously awaiting their arrival, i got them in graphite....basically black. Just wondering what everyone thinks of them and how they would look on a TSX. Thanks a lot.
