so im really considering these wheels but i'm not sure how they'll look on my SSM. i feel like the gunmetal will be too dark but the hyper silver will almost match the SSM. any ideas?

Yeah, you're gonna want to go for the Hyper Silver. They are amazing wheels, the color is similar to the SSM during the day, but definitely darker at night.

We just got a set of these for one of our customers with a B5 S4; they look great in the hyper silver finish. Not too bright, not too dark. Good overall quality.

I definitely are going to get these rims but on a NHP TSX. I'm leaning towards the gunmetal one, but what are your opinions on hyper silver or gunmetal for a Black TSX?

Go hypersilver...... for a particular reason these hypersilver are more of a gunmetal color than silver. I had two sets of these since a rim shop messed up the first set. THey both were hypersilver.... but differed in color....one was a bit darker... however .. both were more on the gunmetal color....

The gunmetal color for these wheels are very dark....

The Hyper Silver doesn't even look like a silver, it looks more like the TL Type S color rims. I saw the Gunmetal Enkei on the white TSX, I really liked it. I just hope it looks good on a black TSX.

Hey guys, I have the chance to purchase a set in 18x7.5 with an offset of 45 and 235/45/18 tires. Will this fit on my 04 TL without any modification? I'm not lowered or anything. Any help would be great. Thanks a lot guys

17x7, 45 offset

got someone selling these on my local craig's list for super cheap, was wondering if these would fit an 04 auto TL? kinda like the idea of not having to get new tires, and finally a chance to replace my stock wheels.

they would technically fit, as long as they are they correct bolt pattern. (114.3)


But 17x7 +45 is INCREDIBLY WEAK. It will look so hella sunk it would be laughable I think.
