those are a dead ringer for the BBS RX. I like them a lot. So just how expensive is "expensive"?

18x7.5 MSRP $440 each.
18x8.0 MSRP $460 each.

Plus nice rubber will put you back some $2,750. Do not know if that is pricey. I love to throw some $1,500-$1,750 on those.

Do they make a 17x7.5 or 17x8 with +45 -- +48 offset?

If so, do you have the web site for them?

Those rims are actually pretty inexpensive. If msrp is 440 you can realistally pick them up for 375-400, unless they are really hot and selling for msrp. That would only be about 1600 for a complete set of 18's. The rims look kinda nice, I'm not too big on the bortex name though. Sounds kinda like an industial cleaner or something. .

that type of style is really growing on me.
hope it doesn't bend like a mofo for $400 bucks a rim...

thats really light though, but I'm
kinda suspicious for that price range of what will happen with such a big rim.

Most probably it would fit the CL-S as Enkei the maker of our stock CL-S rims.

I remember I saw Enkei at NTB, I will to come up with a deal. What is best rubber for those 18x7.5, 235/45/18, Potenza SO-2 Pole Position, RE-730, or NITTO 555? Rubber should stick and I like to replace them each 3-summer seasons.

By any chance, does anyone know if these rims are available in this offset? I looked at the site but could not find the info. Thanks

Why do I feel that this set of rims look very similar to the stock rims that came with the premium packge for the first gen 3.0 CL ? ??? Has any one notice that ? It seems very similar, but has a little bit thinner spokes.

for 18X7.5 225/40-18, and 235/40-18 for 18X8
offset should be about +49 for 7.5 and +45 for 8.0 width..

I like them, but I would glue an ACURA center cap over top of the ugly BORTEX logo.

I like them, but think that they look kinda wimpy. Maybe its just the pic, but they have a look of a rim that could bend too easily.
