I did hella research on these... most u can fit is 19x8 but u will have to roll fenders.
19x7.5 is perfect fit. Here are ones I found that are basically the same rim but with different names.
Carlsson 2/5
Maya DTS
Trafficstar DTS
SSR Agle Premium
Lexion 203
Axis Milano
I woulda gone these rims... but I drive too fast and on soo many crappy roads in SJ to deal with the headache of repairs. Still think these are the best rims to go with this car...

Forget about the JAZ Trinity rims, they don't offer the correct offset for our 2nd Gen TLs. BOKU was able to fit the AXIS Milano's(19x8) on his TL somehow. And the Maya and Trafficstar will fit, but cost mucho dinero.

I will have to pass til next time. Yeah these rims are pricey... so buy them used and in person to inspect. Recently, I saw them used in excellent condition for $1500 with tires. Which is a fricking deal. Used are usually $2000. Just keep your eyes open.. I just passed because I didn't want 19" no more cuz of my driving habits

Here's a copy of the letter I sent to Jaz Wheels. Pretty much the same I sent to Axis. Asking about making these wheels in a size that would fit our cars.
I urge more of you to send them letters. Then the better chance we have of them producing a size that will actually fit our cars!
<<Hello,
I was wondering if you plan on releasing a FWD version of the Trinity? ie. 7.5" - 8" width, 45mm or higher offset.
There are a large number of Honda/Acura owners who have been following this wheel design since it was introduced as the TrafficStar DTS, then Maya DTS, and then when Axis Milano copied the design. The Milano's were the first affordable version, but the wheels won't fit our cars.
I bet you would sell a large quantity if you introduced 18x8 and 19x8 >45offset Trinity's. Just check the Honda/Acura boards out there and you can see the interest in this wheel design.

No reply from either.
Not sure of their emails, but if you go to their sites, you can find it there. Both start with Info@ axis or jaz wheels.com

I think if u send em to chris@axis.com it make more of an impact (if i remember correctly that is the owner)
But foreal its all pointless. Both Jazz and Axis are just buying their wheels from the same chinese manufacturer. Neither has any say over the style or size that they chose to produce.

BTW I've researched all the wheels in this style and I went so far as to contact Maya Directly as well as Axis about remaking the wheel etc. etc. Your best bet would be to find a set of Milanos with the old offset before they changed them, or a set of Traffic Stars or DTS's, the problem with the last two is not only availability but money. The Jazz won't fit BTW.

i'd rather buy new rims.. once u fix the bends in the rim they will never be AS strong as they were when tehy were brand new.
i found a guy that will get me the milanos for 1200ish cash brand new
almost around 300 a piece.

I heard that Maya DTS is made by Traffic Star. I could be wrong but thats the rumor.
Maya is a DAZZ brand and its made by one of the wheel manufacturer in Japan which could be Traffic Star.
If you look at Maya wheel designs, their are some same wheels as Traffic Star.

i think i'll just be going with the axis milanos for now.. they are the cheapest and still look great. d jeckle has these on his car and he said they have held up great on our bay area freeways and roads..
is 1225 a good price for these wheels? is there any where else i look?

pimpravi the 19x8.5 would fit if u get your fender rolled...and maybe raise your car up a lil bit if your car is dropped...and by the way...wat a nice pick for the wheels...i was looking into those but those is gonna break me off...hahaha...when u get it post them up...

yeah man, its true that it wont be as strong, but it is also a 3 piece wheel, which even repaired will still be stronger than a 1 piece wheel...and at the new price drop, you really cant beat it...even if it costs a few hundred to repair. since you are in cali, there are prob lots of places that repair damaged wheels properly...either way, itll look the same...the 19 by 8.5 will give you more lip, and fit way more agreesively than the mayas though...
