Loiking to upgrade my wheels. Need input.

Basically, I feel like my 12 TSX Wagon is undertired and could benefit from having a larger footprint. Now I'm not looking to do any suspension mods....just wheels. I'm thinking about getting a set of ASA GT06 18x8. Looking for input. Good wheels? If you have any other suggestions for wheels that would look good on stock height, please post them up. Thanks in advance.

^^lol. No worries. I don't plan on lowering and I feel like 19's woukd accentuate the wheel gap. I'm going for that oem+ look and I like meatier tires.

BTW....mods, can we move this thread to the wheels/tire section? My mistake.

It didnt look that bad on the Tirerack configurator but I'm not sure how accurate it is.

I like oem+ as well (that's why I'm on 18's) but I agree 19's look perfect on our car.

Personally I'd go with something full-faced especially since the wagon appears bigger than the sedan...if you like ASA then how about the GT1,2,4 or 5?
A few of them are on sale @ tirerack now even

Those look like they were inspired by Enkei RPF1s. Get actual RPF1s, those are meh.

Yes, something like the RonJon where the spoke goes all the way to the lip. The ones you chose will look like 16 or 17s on the car because of the shorter spoke design. You can look at the beginning of my thread HERE to see the difference in spoke designs. Shorter sidewall tires will accentuate the gap, so you are best sticking with 18". Good choice there.
