I need everyones opionions. I just sold my 19" rims, they were black ron jon inspyres. I loved them a ton and even actually didnt mind the ride quality being sacrificed. The reason i got rid of them is because with all of the driving I will be doing starting in the fall with work/school, it wouldnt be economical to put miles on 19" tires and replace them that often.

SO, I was thinking of moving to an 18" rim. I have pretty much narrowed down my choice to the TSW Donington rim. Its a multispoke rim, but fitment is my main question. I was thinking a staggered setup. I am not planning on lowering and really dont want to have to deal with a camber kit/rolled fenders. with that being said, how would a set up with 18-8 +42 in the front, and 18-9.5 +40 in the back be? Will the back be cutting it too close/look funny since I wont be lowered? Shoudl I do 18-8 all around and add a spacer in the back?

Everyone always says if you go with 19's that you need to get it lowered to look right. to be honest, I liked the look of my car niot lowerred on 19's. Keep that in mind when answering. I plan on going with a performance 245/40/R18 tire (Probably Hankook evo 12).

Second question is on styling. I think the Matte Black would look great, after seeing the rim on numerous BMWs when searching. I wasnt able to see them on an Acura when I searched, if you can find a picture of them, that would be great!

Any comments/ideas would be very helpful. Lastly, buy a combo deal with the tires/rims, or buy them seperatley? Would I really save alot more if I went with the combo deal?

Thanks!

 

TSW Nurburgring's are much better looking but have a similar style to those.

definitely would stagger though.

 

They look too "thick"

 

I was thinking about those, but they look too similiar to the typ s wheel...

 

thats why I suggested the Nurburgring's.

 

FYI, the last picture is of my car with 19's. Just to see hpow black wheels blend My headlights and tailights are matte black, just liek the rims

 

What do you mean by thick?

 

the spokes are too thick and "dull" IMO.

 

Ahh, I see. They are a bit concave though. I kinda like that about them..

 

concave is almost all offset.

 

BINGO! Took the words out of my mouth. I actually test fit these on my car when I was deciding on which wheels to get and the spokes are simply too thick and it just didn't look right. Obviously I didn't end up going with those. Wish I took pics...that would've helped you out. Somebody out there probably has 'em on a TL.

 

I think ur car will look higher than it actually is with those beefy 245/40 tires

If you get a SLIGHT drop (with springs) you wont have to worry about rubbing
