18 " OEM Wheels??

Has anyone seen the 18 " OEM wheels in person? I have seen pictures of the chrome version but have not seen the "ebony-look". Just curious if "ebony-look" means the pewter-like color of the TL-S wheels or more of a black-chrome look.

Thanks

if it's the double-5 spoke one that looks like a-spec rims then I saw them last weekend on a white TSX with the sport bumpers. looked amazing. It's definitely more of a dirty rim look rather than black-chrome but that's a good thing

Yeah, they have them on one at the local dealer. They looked nice but I don't think they're nice enough to be worth the price tag.

Yeah, they do sport a hefty price. Was just curious how they would look on a polished metal TSX and the dealership here doesn't have any to look at.

Found a picture of the one at the local dealership that I was talking about. It's Palladium Metallic

Dayum, that's a sharp looking car. The "element" is not a problem with the silver color. Those fenders were designed for 18's, not 17's.

I see gold, too. Why oh why would you do that on a silver car?

Yeah...I'm really liking those wheels. Ignoring the scary price, how do you folks think they would look on a Polished Metal TSX (minus the gold of course!)?

I was surprised to see the gold on it when I first saw it. It actually looked pretty good in person which was a shock to me because I hate gold. (One reason my wife doesn't have any yellow gold jewelry.)
