I would wait for the big lip version in Graphite. But that wheel in the picture in the trunk has a 3.5" lip because its a 20". I checked about the 19" Legend II and was told the lip would be about 1.5".

Get something more original... Everyone is buying RJ's and in my opinion the only good looking RJ wheel is the Devotion. There are so many companies out there to choose from. I know it's your car and you should buy what makes you happy... I'm just offering my 2 pesos.

the old inspyres were x 8.5" +42mm (same exact as my current wheels) the new ones are x 8.0 +38mm... i asked ron, and he said it was to accomadate a 235/35/19.. but i have that tire on my rim now, seems to fit fine....will the half inch make a difference? or does the offset bring it right back to where it is. i like my wheels and the old inspyres, they really filled the wheel well up nicely!

How much are you willing to spend? I'd get a nice set of Volks or something.....If you get RJ, it'll look like every other NBP on here...I think you worked too hard on your car for that

i would LOVE the volks.. but i would be looking at like $3gs just for wheels..... i am selling mine in the BM, 1000 for the wheels. 1700 for wheels/tires/tpms... so if i got $1700.. i would need to shell out atleast another 2g's for the volk TE-37s + tires...
unless you guys know a good price/website i can browse??
in all honesty.. i have the biggest hard-on for the Volk TE-37s Gloss Black... but i cant find `em cheap...

of the choices you have there I would go with the RJ wheels if you have not seen any others around town...I would want to be unique. That is pretty easy here in Tulsa. As far as the Volk discussion, I also could not believe how much wheels were but in retrospect if I took care of my wheels and used them for 3 years and could resell them for close to what I paid I would do it in a heart beat. Volk owners....is that how it works or do they depreciate fast?

I think the Ronjon wheels are very nice because.
1. They are designed for Honda/Acura.
2. No adapters needed.
3. They are pretty light and should be strong.
4. 1 piece work with TPMS(NO straps needed)

I used a very accurate scale.

Legend...both the original and Type II look good...liquid graphite if you don't want much contrast, liquid silver if you do. Never been a fan of the Inspyre, although quality-wise, I'm sure it's a great wheel just like Rondy's other wheels.

Man, so many things to clear up...
the 19" Legend Liquid Graphite will clear BBK, and weighs about 25 lbs each.
Same as stock weight (when comparing to OEM 17" 04-06 TL wheels) I haven't weighed the type S wheels.
The 19" x 8.5" type II which has started development will be weighed once the prototype arrives, but the 20" x 8.5" weighs in at about 26 lbs.
The 20" Type II doesn't clear BBK, but the 19" x 8.5" does.

How's it going there buddy? Car is looking sick by the way. 
I think the Legend Liquid Graphite looks best. However the new Legend Type II 20's would look good too with the lip on there.

The 20" Legend II with a 3.25" lip WON'T clear the Brembo brakes. BUT the new 19" Legend II with a 1.5" lip WILL clear the Brembo brakes.
I have talked to Rondy about this. The 19's will be out in about 2 months.
The lip is
Go 19" Legend II
