New TSX New RJ Vega wheels on now!

Thought I would post some quick pics I took of my new TSX with the RJ Vega 19" wheels and Continental Extreme tires. I am so glad I went with the 19" after much debate for me about going 18" instead, as well I was not after a look at me I am wild look, but wanted a serious enhancement to the TSX looks, which I believe I got. The ride is not any noticably stiffer, tires are quiet, all is well. Thanks forum and thanks Ron Jon Wheels, I love the look, very clean.
Kind of funny, several people have seen the car and they mention often, "nice wheels".

Love those wheels, they look great! You just desperately need to lower it an inch or so and it will be perfect.

What size tires did you go with?

God, RJ has such good designs some times I just cant stop my self from wanting to buy several sets of wheels from him, and just rotate them like i do my tires.

I also just realized they tinted around your 3rd brake light. I'd immediately take it back and have them redo it. It looks awful.

Wheels are nice, but I wish the lug nuts were visible. Good Job

Wheel looks smashing An inch or so drop would be perfect. Which offset did you get? ET52 or ET40. My guess is the ET 52.

And RonJon, better go fix the Vegas wheel webpage, the ET40 fitment specs are reversed, 5 x120 is for 2G MDX, 2G RL, 4G TL; and 5 x 114.3 is for the 1G MDX, 3G TL, 2G TSX (widetrack), RDX.

Did I not tell you the Vega is the most under-appreciated wheel or what?
Looks better than anybody or I expected. You should post some pocs without the centercap lug nut cover, I mean, it looks pretty aggressive that way too, but you would have to custom mount the centercap emblem.

I like the center cap. My biggest issues with my RJ's are people Damaging it near the Lug holes because of carelessness. I do have the Spline drives but even when I work on my car It's hard to get in there with a air drill with out tapping the edge..

so the center cap rids the eyes of that minuscule damage from basic maintenance.

Those wheels are awesome. I agree about the going with 19", rather than 18" wheels. Makes your ride look great.

Just got back from an amazing Mountain trip (not in the TSZ)

No drop for me, you guys can claim the glory on that.

The wheels are 19", the tires are 225/40 19.

I guess I could try the wheels with out the hub covers, I think it looks kind of clean., I prefer my Silverado Duramax to look tough, my Acura clean, but willing to give it shot. As to brake light tint, not sure why the guy did that, I wondered same thing, but man, I just got the car, then a few added extras from dealer, then the tint, then the wheels, & had to bolt out of town for 5 days with my camp/Rv group so things are not perfect yet. I only have 175 miles on the car! I was a little rushed, but did not want the car untinted and unwheeled!

I do love the wheels though and especially the difference in the spacing on the wheel design.

^ I thought so.

With a 19 x 8.5 ET 52, your wheel will be positioned 16mm more to the outside edge compare to stock which is 17 x 7.5 ET55. Giving it a flush look, I put 15mm spacers on mine to get the same stance.

Nice and clean look - compliments the car well... also glad you went with 19s instead or 18s. They look best in the 5th pic.

I have read some very good things about those DWS wheels from Continental......were you considering any others tires before you settled on those?
