What do you think of the Enkei RS+M
Noobie checking in...
What do you guys think of the Enkei RS+M if placed on a nighthawk black TSX with a-spec suspension? Pros: Lightweight. Reputable company. And I prefer more understated wheels than the "bling-bling" many like. Price is not a huge consideration for me.
Would you get 18x7.5 +48 or 17x7 +45? Would the 17x7 fit okay with that offset?
Thanks!

I've had my eye on those too. Definitely go for the 18's. Cheapest place I've found them - www.wheelsboutique.com.

I really like these rims! I'm the same way you are Muaddib, I'm not into the bling bling type rims and have been searching like mad for a nice extremely light weight understated rim, and I think these are the one's I'll go with. My 06 will have the A-Spec suspension also but it's CGP. I think these rims will go well with that color. I'm going with 17's though. I don't understand the obsession so many of the members here on this forum have with 18" plus sized wheels...
I would think 17x7 would be ok with the offset of 45. That's what I'm planning on doing.

Has anyone seen 17x7 +45 wheels on a TSX? I am worried that the extra centimeter in offset is going to make the wheels stick out too close to the fenders. I don't want to spend $$$ and have an aesthetic issue and buyers remorse.

If you like understated styling and light weight, how about the forged Centerline Storms?
17x7s are 14 lbs and are on clearance for only $159 apiece shipped.

Made by the same company (Enkei) Theyre a pound lighter although they are about 40 bucks more a wheel though.

Had to do some searching to find this out. Enkei's own page doesnt even have any sizes listed for them. Since there doesn't seem to be much info out on them, I'm hoping that availability won't be a problem. I guess cuz theyre so new? Oh and also theyre not quite a pound lighter, theyre about .3 pounds lighter.
