TSX Vortex Wheels

Has anyone heard about these wheels, or seen them on a TSX?

Wow, those look nice. The TL on that page with them looks really sharp. Good price but I know TSW's can be soft wheels so potholes are a no-no.

Can you tell me more about the softness of TSW's?

Also, I check on those Vortex wheels and their offset is 40.... The wheel guide says stick to an offset greater than 42. Does anyone think messing with the 40 is worth it?

I like the TSW wheel line, nice and sleek....especialy the one's with a lip.
You should be fine with a 40 offset, many members here have that offset with 19x8....now if you get 18X7.5 with a 40 offset it shouldn't pose any worries, that's if you're thinkining of lowering the car. It also depends on the size of the tire.
