I like the Raijins a bit more too.. Only problem is they aren't concave in 18x8 +45 18x8 +40 is still not concave and I don't think 18x8.5 +35 or +38 will fit. I don't know how 18x8.5 +50 will be, can't find any pics of that size.
Ideally I would like to not run spacers. Will 8.5 width be more flush?

thanks rob, good to have a reference
That's what I was worried about, the lines. Basically looking for a picture out there where the person has the base/tech rear with SE side skirts. I am a bit picky... likely will leave it as is. When I look at the SE TSXs as a whole, I really like the lines achieved from the front 2-piece and side skirts. I'm not too fond of the SE rear though.

Using Forgestar F14s as reference (picked this wheel for no real reason other than I've been on this site before and have seen the charts): http://www.forgestar.com/v2/wheelsf14.php
Look at "deep concave" vs "super deep concave" for 19x9.5" wheels. Notice the offsets. Super deep concave version of the wheels have a very low range of available offsets, simply because it's impossible to make it that concave if the cb/lug holes weren't so far into the wheel.
See this diagram as well:
The very definition of offset is how off from the center of the wheel the cb/lug holes are. Lower the offset, further into the wheel it is. And as a consequence of this, the further in the holes, the more concave the face will look because the spokes will have to come back outwards to reach the outer edge of the rim.
Now obviously, with a very low offset and the wheels aren't wide, the holes cb/lug holes may go beyond the inner lip of the rim, which makes no sense. So while I do agree wheel width is important for concavity, offset should not be overlooked either.
PS: With that diagram above, think of it this way. If you have a 9" wide wheel but you have a +55 offset (i.e., something high), your wheel will be wide and deep, but the face will be pushed to the far right and thus not be concave.

I just meant most wheels only come in a few mm difference in offsets (+32 vs +38 etc), and wider wheels are usually more concave.

Yeah. He has a large custom garage+lifts at his house plus a ranch with a big garage. Probably around 15-20 cars.

I don't think I'd want that many cars. I would never become familiar with them. I would also imagine, I'd have a favorite or a more DD friendly car that I would drive more often.
For the wealthy, owning multiple cars is a tax break if they log them as a business expense.

I'm in Grand Cayman and I've never seen so many modded cars before in my life. Pretty much 1 in 5 cars here are lowered. Also soooo many first gen tsx accords.

One of my neighbors bought a Fiat 500. Pretty sure it's the turbo version also. It actually sounds pretty badass for a car of its size.

Years ago I had to carry around a screwdriver to coax the parking brake interlock to allow me to shift out of park on my Jaguar.
Just kidding. Looks clean from the photos.
