I need help deciding!

Whats up guys? I just got my aspec kit for my ASM '07 Type-S! I've decided on the TEIN SS coils, which I'm waiting to order. Now I just need help deciding on rims! After months of searching, I've narrowed it down to two... Either the Ron Jon Inspyres (Liquid Graphite) or the EXE Konvex (staggered). I'm goin with 19's either way, I'm just having a rough time deciding between the two. Within the next few months I'm gonna be vinyling the roof black, blacking out the corners on the headlights, and installing AEM cai. Any help and input on the rims will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Can't vote...don't like Inspyres, don't like staggered. Looks-wise, the EXE's.

I would go with the EXE Konvex with the staggered fitment but just remember you can't rotate your tires with staggered fitments.

HONgDA posted my 08' ASM TL Type-S. I say go for it! You will get a lot
of attention with those wheels.

I've just changed my EXE wheels out with a new set of wheels today. I will post new pics of my ride after Im finished with installing some other goodies.

I called and found out that they will fit over the brembos, but I will have to roll my fenders, because of my soon to be drop! I found them originally at buywheelstoday.com, but I'm gonna be ordering them though a local shop that I just ordered my TEIN SS coils through and my AEM cai. He's givin them to me for $2000 with tires!

I would have had to reconsider being that you have the exact same color and everything, except for the coils being different. LoL But since u got rid of them, now I don't have to worry about that! And, DAMN... now I know exactly how sexy it would look with the EXE's! LoL
Yeah, I know about the lack of ability with the rotating. But one bonus as far as that goes is that they'll just be summer wheels, and my stockers back on for the crappy Chicago winters.

My vote is for the EXE Konvex! This guy in my complex is rockin a set of 20's on his G35! Looks incredible!

But with a lip like that on the EXE's, your gonna need 20's to make it look as big as 19's without a lip...

Definatly the EXE. EVERYONE has the RJ Inspyres. I was in love with them too at first, but now that I've started a serious wheel search, I'm starting to realize too many people have them, The EXE look great IMHO. I'm also a fan of lips and staggered fitments, so I would naturally choose the EXE

EXE is made by axis, so $2000 isn't a bad price for a quality set of wheels!

i would not go beyond 19s with the EXE wheels. these wheels are already heavy in 19s. the lip on the 19x9.5 is almost 4in wide anyways.

honestly, i would go with the A-specs (i know they arent part of your choices). but if you want to be unique, then go with the EXE's.

Finally ordered the rims! I decided on the EXE's, but I went 8.5 all around... I love the aggressive staggered look, but not bein able to rotate sucks! So they should be here by this coming Tuesday or Wednesday! Woo Who!
