lol well to be completely honest killer. i think it'll look pretty classy, somewhat similar to the RJ legends.

so if you have the cash, go for it!

but you are still homo as fuck.

Killer, these rims on their own aren't bad looking but dont really fit the TSX in my opinion. The TSX is an entry-level, luxury sport sedan & these rims say 98 Civic coupe to me.

If your dead set on them tho (19's), then do what you gotta do to make it hap'n capt'n.

hmm... the search for the dopest rims known to man continues. Thanks for all the feedback gentleman.

in other news, HRE P40s are pretty sexy, but at 1500 PER WHEEL, they can go option 3 themselves

Not really. With a nice drop, those wheels would look awesome on the TSX.

And I've seen those wheels in different finishes, so maybe a different finish may make a huge difference. Something along the lines of a gunmetal finish would look , especially on the CGP.

The Mazda hatchback pic shows what I meant by my earlier statement. IMHO this is a tuner style rim . The TSX is not a tuner car ( Defcon). Thus they look on a Civic or said Mazda.

I will admit they do look bad ass in Black/Gunmetal...

actually I personally was ready to pull the trigger on these 3 days ago.. I'm still waying my options. They are very light rims and I'm getting a decent deal of them. I'd be doing 18's though w/ the 8.5 width. These are more expensive than other rim I've looked at though.. I was originally interested in the snettertons but was actually recommended to check these wheels out.. after realizing the lip would be tiny on the snettertons (because of the width), I became more interested in these.

djplayer. i still think these rims are awesome. I was between 18x8 and 18x8.5

if i ever buy rims, these are my top choice, #2 ron jon vega. These are much cheaper, and unique

you should definitely get em, like you mentioned they are 17lbs and can be had at a decent price to boot. i think disccounttiredirect has 100 off 4 rims right now too, and i sadly would be buying them if i could!

I'm looking through the rims now trying to make a choice. I'd like to see them.. but no TSW's in my area.. I do like the rims.. the weight and construction makes them a little more expensive. They gave me a good price for the whole bundle.. plus you still get some Mail in rebates for certain tires and financing through them etc..

I'm trying to decide essentially if the rim and tire package is worth the price or to go w/ a cheaper rim. My car is PWP. I was gonna do the mirror face (just feel it matches the front grille and door handles better than say the solid full gunmetal). Comes down to whether I wanna save $300 or not on a cheaper rim.. ughh.. decisions..
