I had a hard enough time trying to post a picture let alone chop one....If somebody wants to chop them onto a CG TSX...And the width of the spokes was worring me.

having that outter lip and the spoke cutting in before it gets to the lip is def going to make them look smaller!!...just my two cents!

I was looking at these myself.

Picking out rims has been very frustrating for me. Are you changing the size aswell? I'm going from 17's to 18's using 225/40 -18. It's been difficult ot find the right rims and same place selling the Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S I want.

I like these. Go for it!

I am wanting to go up to 18" Those wheels are +45mm offset and I was looking at running 235/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE750 I had those tires on my STI and loved them they were a great wet and dry tire. I think those wheels and a set of lowering springs to get it a little close to the ground it'll look great.

Hmm I've looked all over for these. The 2 sites that posted them for sale did not have them. WheelsNext said it would be 7-10 days, then said 2-3 weeks. StreetDreams said they are out of stock and discontinued. Agrh!

WheelsNext kept trying to push Kobe brand wheels, with same look. But then when I called back, they are out of stock as well. maybe 60 days. They wanted me to go to 19" lol.

They did say they had the Kobe's in 18" black gloss, machined lip. hmm...

Might look like this:



$900 plus upgrade to Pirelli Pzero nero m+s 18" $400 = $1300 total delivered.

Good deal?

I say do it, and this is prolly a pic of the RWD offset, so it probably wont be as dished. But i think it will go well. Whats wrong with fat spokes on a TSX?
Sorry old pic 18x8's on 225/45's

Well does anybody have a picture of a wheel with a +45mm offset on a car so I can get a idea. I want to go with a agressive offset and +45mm dosen't seem very agressive. I plan to lower the car using Neuspeed/Koni package.
