Get what you think looks good. If you are looking for more OEM go A-Spec like many people did or you want more edge than go aftermarket like Volks and the like. It basically comes down to what you like and your budget.

I really like these MOMO's (FXL2). http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...t_1944_3957018
Trying to talk the wife into them for my NBP. If anyone has them on their car, I would love to see it. The closest I've seen, is some Photochops I've done .

If price is not an issue go with the CX-R. I looked at the J8 Pro and also the J5 Pro but ended up buying the CR's. Reason being is that after I researched these wheels more I found out that the RH models are actually NOT Racing Hart wheels and also not made as well. But if you do go with either the J8 or the R5 I think the R5 will look much better. The spokes on the J8 are too small for our car.

You might also want to look at www.dazzmotorsports.com. The site you were looking at has some of the older Racing Hart wheels and I know they have discontinued some of them. DAZZ has all the new stuff.

I Agree.. I have the same as you now. Also what would be a good size width? I was looking at 20's but these (RS 721) are too ill.... Would 19x9 w/ 245/35/19 be legit or can I go wider?

You have a set of CR's on your car now?

Do you want to run the same width all the way around or do you want to go staggered? I have "heard" that it is possible to fit a 9'' wheel on the front of our cars but I am not sure if anyone has done this yet. I am pretty sure some guys have fit a 10'' wide wheels on the rear of our cars.

I have 8.5'' on all 4 corners.

Yeah I do have a set of CR's on it now. Right now I have 19x8 235/35/19's , by the way I do have the a-spec suspension and kit since I know that has a role into rub or not when getting bigger rims.

But I bet it will fit 19x9 with 245-35-19 tires.. (I HOPE) -
also do you know the best place to get these RS 721's ?

Call Eric at Addictive Racing. He is the owner and he will take good care of you. Tell him Chris with the TL refered you. His number at the shop is 520-326-5310.

GREAT I am having a hard enough time finding a style and QUALITY brand wheel I like. NOW fitting over the Brembo's will be another problem Hopefully more people will put new wheels on the new 07 TL-S. Then I can get an idea??? I have all the new wheel magazines with 1,000's of wheels??? I don't want to get Acura A-Spec wheels. They are nice, but like too many other cars

I HOPE somebody answers your question. I AM in the same boat Well at least when you see a 07 TL-S with nice after market wheels, you have the Brembo brakes to stop you fast enough to go back and catch him, or her

It must be the 2007 Ultimate Wheel & Tire Guide. USA $6.99. I bought that one yesterday, along with Siphon and Import Tuner Magazines.

I was considering TSW, Stern, 5zigen, Jaz, Alessio, etc. Are any of these what you were looking at?

yup, that's the magazine i bought. i was looking at the tsw thruxtons... no go. i like the jaz trinity's, but i didnt look up any info on those. 5zigens, i think are pretty much out, but you may want to double check. but, either way, it's hard finding a wheel that will fit.
