They're knock-offs, but they look nice.

Opt for better fitment but from what I hear, LC makes decent replicas.

If you are going 8.5" wide wheel, I suggest you run +35 offset to be decently flush.
specially mesh type of wheels, flushness makes it look great.

Just an FYI, wheeldude is a sponsor on ClubLexus. You might be able to get a better deal if you hop on there.

Real BBS LM's are classic mesh wheels that look good on almost any car...i think!

Defcon, I think you ask for too many opinions on things. I think sometimes you should just go for what you want and surprise us with it later when we are not expecting it. (not flaming you)

ive never seen one on the 2nd gen TSX. it might look better in person. right now this is on the top of my list. i like these rims a lot and they're probably easier to resell in case i get tired of them.

this is the closest i can get to the BBS LM look.

5 yays and 5 nays...I'll be the tiebreaker with my yay.

I think these mesh-style rims are really nice on luxury performance cars ala audi/porsche/BMW. Maybe a bit too euro for the TSX but they're a good look nonetheless

haha i kinda agree. i like suprises, and defcon all ur dyi mods always suprise me

with that said, i got a suprise of my own coming soon

anyways, i think that if you've been searching for so long and find these that makes u go WOW or DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD! then u shuold get it, if it only looks OK or acceptable, then i say keep looking

ASA GT1's are cheaper at $800 rims only as opposed to $1250 for the Linea Corse LM. GT1's have no lip which will make the rim appear bigger. LM has a lip which can make it look like 18's.

Which one?

ASA GT1


Linea Corse LM

hmm idk dude. now that you did that photoshop...they both look pretty good
and i decided to not rush on wheels and maybe save up more for better quality wheels and continue looking for ones that i like. but i gotta say...both looks pretty good inthat photoshop. but i still stand my point with asa (in this case) beacuse 1. it doesnt have a lip so it looks bigger, which i think its necessary on our car. 2. i only like black rims with chrom lip on black or white cars, but thats jsut me, im a black n white kinda guy.
however, the ASA are pretty heavy, and quality might not match up for the LM. so i say, if u have enough, spend it on LM's. but they both look great either way

I agree, I voted yay but those rims would look nicer on that color car if the rims were gunmetal or darker color or if that particular set was on a Black TSX.

Does the Linea Corse LM come in the same color as those ASA GT1's?

no the LM doesnt come in the same color as GT1's
the LM's are dull/flat silver. i can just spray paint it to have a shinier color.
