Anybody like any of these wheels?

My feeble attempt at photoshoping(acutally coreldraw!) some wheels onto the TL. It's jacked up like a 4 wheel drive, but I don't know how to lower it photographically. Anybody like any of these?

Out of those 4 I like the last one. Only because the first two look too much like the OEM wheels. That finish might be too bright for your color.

The last one is the ASA-AR1 wheel from tirerack. It's a copy of the BBS RS-GT wheel that costs $900 a piece. The ASA wheel is only $199 each. Not the same quality, but similiar look nonetheless. If I went with a wheel like that, I could get the centers painted to match the palladium.

What's your price limit on new wheels? What size are you looking to get? 19's or 20's?

I want 19" wheels. I don't like to spend more that $250 a wheel. I've bought wheels that cost more, but always got them on sale or closeout. I simply can't see spending any more when there are so many choices. Do I like forged three piece wheels that are super light? Sure, but I would never spend the money. I really like the acura factory 19" two tone wheels, but I'm not spending $400 a wheel. I'll simply pick something else.

The first and second wheels in the pictures are $180 each 19x8 or 19 x 9.5

Not sure about the cost in the third picture, they are Konig Privat wheels.

I just looked on oem acuraparts.com and they have listed factory 19" wheels for $267.74 each. Not sure what shipping would be but that is a better price than I though they were.

The Harrows, forget about it, they are great wheels and my second favorite The Rev's look unreal in person, the matte black color works great on the wheels. But they only come in 18's and I think your PS is what they would look like as 19's.

ASA is licensed by BBS... but i think ASA went bankrupt, and sold their designs to "Sport Design"

Yeah, can't wait to see them too. I'm still on the fence as to which wheels I want. I keep going back and forth between 19" and 20" wheels. I'm pretty sure I'm going with 19's, but 20's look so good.
