Thanks for the link! These tires get awesome reviews from what I've read about them, and like you said, you can't beat the price. May have to look into purchasing these...
Anyone looking for a decent set of cheap tires, check out this link, tires-easy cooper zeon 2xs at $100 each in a 245/35/19. I don't think you can beat it for the price!

I can't believe this thread is still active; I started it almost a year ago now. Like some of you mentioned, my MPG went down on HWY by a few but it really got slammed on the back roads. I live close to work so my average speed is usually under 30 and my MPG is in the low teens. A bad O2 sensor may have something to do with that, but I'm not sure how much. Regardless, I still love the look. Glad so many of you jumped on it. I hope mine still look good when I finally wash all all this winter salt and snow.

Finally got these wheels mounted after sitting for over a year. Love the look! Went with the Cooper Zeon's that Phampau linked to in his post. Tires seem decent, and the price was definitely right.

Just an update... I purchased my Silver Sparkle's in April 2010 and they are still looking great! I got a car washed today and they look just as good as they did the day I got them.

Just purchased these a couple weeks back and got them mounted today. I love the look. The springs are due in next week. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here for posting about these. It made the decision easy.

well guys, i have to say i loved this thread, i always wanted them for about a yr when it was started, and never got to it went through many rims, from mazdaspeed 6 rims to the type s to the 18" aspec rims, well i finally got them but i got 245/40 19 Goodyear RS-A tires and the rims are chrome. well i plan to drop it but not i feel like they will rub in front. im going with tein s-tech springs and koni shocks and at this point im not feeling the look of my car i know i need to add body kit but i did and i was lowered on megans and sold them and the kit because it cracked on me 3 times and just was fed up with it, but i feel like sticking to my 18 aspec so might sell., Yet dont get me wrong I LOVE THE WHEELS SEXY!!!!! well here are some taste pics. yet it was weried i was getting 40MPG on hwy for like 10 mins and then i stayed at 30 MPG
Also add pics on how they look on a tsx which i have to say dope.

"Corrosion-resistant finish is more durable than chrome to maintain a like-new appearance for years"
Ive had mine a year, and they look great. From what I understand, its not reallly a true "chrome" but more of a chrome paint. they recommend to not use chrome cleaner and such, but rather take care of them as u would paint. And the face only has the chrome look, the whole rim is NOT like that.

First time poster and long time reader. I finally pulled the trigger today and bought a set of these in chrome from ebay. The cheapest I've found recently is $630 shipped from Acura of Peoria so I went with that. I have yet to see the 19's on a RBP TL and I decided that the chrome-look ones would go well with that color.
The only thing left to do is find some decent 245/35/19's and hope that my gas mileage doesn't nosedive after putting these on

Just an update.....I recently purchased four new Nitto Invo 245/35/19s to replace my Nexen 235/35/19s on my RDX a-specs. I put them on, along with Ichiba v2 spacers, 15mm on the front, 20mm on the rear.
It put me a 19x8+30 on the front, and 19x8+25 on the back, with the 245s on there. It is my DD and I wasnt gonna stretch or anything like that (first and foremost I wanted the extra meat on the tires) if anything I was gonna ditch the spacers.
Yes they rubbed...(From what I gathered on Acurazine, I was expecting it.) Then I rolled just the rear fenders, as those were the only ones rubbing. I drove around about 45 min. after the roll, and NO RUB (as of yet
) I took some bumps,dips and hard corners, but drove as careful as I'd be without the spacers and just the 19s....and so far Im good.
I did roll them up all the way. It was my first time and I did it the poor mans way with a heat gun and baseball bat.
They came out good..no chips, or cracks.. It was easier than I thought, even tho I was apprehensive at first.
Just thought Id share that because there was a lot of spacer talk on these rims.
and thanks to Myron for answering a few questions I had about running his stock rims with the same spacers I bought

I just rolled and pulled my front and rear fenders. Car is still garaged but im at +20 rear and +30 front with stock camber and a 2.2'' drop all around and 215/35's (slight stretch). Totally flush. Cant wait till spring to take it out!!!

^Yeah man, finally!! Don't know what happened with the front alignment but the previous tires went really bad and have not choice, it was now or never. Really happy with the look and the Toyos are great but pricey here in the island; damn hope it last forever.

^^No rubbing problem in my case with Eibach springs and lot of ppl around here lowered with coilovers reported no problems at all. Definitively moving from 235 to 245 was a great decision.
