Dammit!!!

My TSX is on order, now all I had to do was get the ONLY wheels that I actually like, the Nakayama Vador 5, 18x7.5, Hyperblack:


I called every store I could find on the net and NOBODY has them anymore. Nakayama says they're discontinued and I was hoping to find some left-over ones floating around, but no luck.

If somebody has any idea where I could get those, please let me know... Otherwise, screw it, I'm probably not getting any wheels.

That sucks! I was going to get those as well. Guess that means I'll be searching for another set of rims. Good thing I'm waiting till next spring to get them.

The A-Spec is 17" only, and the TL A-Spec is expensive and too wide for my taste.

Yes, I'm VERY picky.

The Inspyre is growing on me though...


Gotta have that straight double-spoke look.

I was looking for this wheel for a long time. The only one I found is the racing black which I am like the hyper black more.

I saw the wheel gallery post by Xizor. Someone has the TL A spec wheel on the TSX. I think this should be fine with TSX. The only problem of the TL A spec wheel is the width is 8.5in. May be this will cause the rubbing.

The Inspyre look very well on TSX. GO for it

Yep. He got them from discounttiredirect.com, and when I called them they told me "you won't find these wheels anywhere".

I am on the same boat too. And now I am leaning toward the Katana Inspire or 5Zigen GN+. Like the Katana looks better, it kind of like the oem silvestar on 18". But have no idea how is their quality and no1 have any feedback on them so I think I will go for GN+ since I have good experience with 5zigen. :gheywave:

goodness gracious. nakayama's are alight...the world isn't goin to end.

and the TL A-Spec Wheels look almost like them anyway, and they're are 18" wheels, not 17" inch wheels as someone mistakenly wrote up there...
