What do you guys think??
I like the designs but I cant picture it on a tsx. I dont care about the brand I am going for looks. The first ones look a little like RJ servo's with a lip.
I dont like that they come in black or chrome but I could get them painted.
The both come in 20x7.5 45 offset which fits pretty nice. I wanted 19's but there arent that many choices. I just want to be really sure about the wheels I pic out.

I like these
But I really like these and the price is right.
I thought they would be way more expensive but I guess I was wrong.
Plus they come in 19"

i think the 2 piece forged will be pricey. more expensive than devotion 1 pf and a little cheaper than devotion 3 piece.
Im a bit confused about the price.
there is no way, 19" 2 piece forged could be $345.
I think thats the cast aluminum ones, not the forged.
I still remember rondog mention that the legend 2pf is a limited edition.
personally, i would choose wheel w/ lip.
and thats this one, Inspyre Type II

but once i got my first wheel w/ lip, I wont choose wheel without lip anymore.
and the worst thing is i want wheels w/ deeper lip than what i have now.

The 19's come in 8.5 with a 50 offset which sounds good but when I calculated the specs using 235 35 19 tires I got 14mm LESS clearance on the strut side, and the outside edge of the wheel will extend an extra 24mm. The tire I used is actually smaller than recomended so I am still unsure because 5mm is like 3/16 of an inch, multiply that by 5 and you get about 1/16 shy of 1 inch which I think would be too much. I think it will pop out in the front and be flush or inside a little in the rear. 
So much for that Idea 
The more I search for other options the more I keep going back to the weds waf bellona's. I just want something not so expensive that will look very nice. I dont want to spend more than 400 a wheel and thats pushing it. I might sound like a cheapskate but I have other mods I'd like to do also and I need to start saving for a house already.

I think Rondy has copied/pasted a bit to liberally - the current wheels with +50 are 7.5" width.
Drop him a line asking if it is the case with these new ones as well, or are the specs shown 100% correct.
Must admit, I'm liking those Legends, and all the more if they are 7.5/50's.
Pity he wouldn't specify weights as well for each type and size.

True.. Yeah it will stick out way too much.

Just dropped Rondy a e-mail regarding the width for the 19" legends waiting on reply to leave a deposit.
Hopefully everything is like you said.

He says that they will fit perfectly and that they would do another test fit to see.
They might do a 19x8 50 offset if it doesnt fit well.
Here is how I hope it will look.

Nice bit of 'shopping.
They're definitely unique and look the part, more so when you see a full wide angle view.
Although he needs to flip the front wheels to have the brake calipers correctly positioned.
