Wow!! Those rims ROCK!! Very well done. They look perfect on that colour car too. I think I have made up my mind in getting the black version of these rims.

LOOKS NICE

Awesome choice! They came out great!

I keep coming back to look at them. They look great. I went upside down and backwards looking for the right wheel and kept coming back to a mesh. I think for me it is the perfect look because I'll keep her pretty much stock. If I was going to drop her and do other mods, I would turn to a 5 spoke.

I've yet to find an angle where they look good! One thing I'm very pleased about ... going 1/2" wider with the 35 offset I think pushes the envelop to the very edge of acceptable. The fronts are just within the flush point, and the rears are dead on. I don't know how much difference 3mm would really make (if the TSW's had been in stock), but these are as close to perfect as I think you can go. I also believe the curvature of the spokes on these - couple with the lip - help make the visual impact. Better pics to come after the rain clears out and the sun re-appears.

I assume you meant an angle where they DONT look good. mine are 40mm offset, but they are 8.5" wide so i'll push out 1/4" more. I am thinking of going to a 255 tire with the 8.5" rim. Are you close at all to rubbing?

duh ... yeah ... that's what I meant lol

Wow - looks good - mesh works with this gen. Nice play with the offset.

Too many options to pick from now

Here's an old guy's perspective:
I've been looking at rims for a couple of months now trying to decide. You need to decide if you want to dress the car up, or mod it and make the look more aggressive. The aggressive route turns in to the domino effect; rims, tires...then you need a drop, camber kit, maybe rotors and a BBK? To me, A good set of mesh wheels (like six did) or a flush face setup can go a long way on their own and don't leave the car looking like it's missing something else.
I've gone through every other wheel out there available (that I can find) and keep coming back to mesh. My reason is because we can't get a good sized lip. Our options are somewhat limited because we require a high offset. Even going with a 35 offset (the lowest option) means that it is impossible to get anything beyond a 1 1/2" to 2" lip unless the face curves back. Without the option of a good lip, many of the wheels out there look lame. if you notice, the stock photos almost always show the wheels with at least a 2 1/2" lip, even if yours isn't available that big. I was going to buy the Vossen VVS083, but when I saw it with the 1 1/2" lip it didn't look right to me. Be very careful of how the pictures look on the web because they may look very different when you take them out of the box.

To sum it up:

If you want to stay mainly stock, go mesh or a good flush face.
If you're going to mod, a 5 spoke can give the best look without actually having a big lip.

Since the sun decided to make a brief appearance, took a couple of more just to show how the wheels look in sunlight (car is dirty fm yesterdays rain - also expected to rain starting this weekend so won't be able to clean up for another 10 or so days).





And a couple showing the caliper clearance



Now to decide on a spring to close the gap about 1/2 way, a body kit that fits, probably some JNC's front and back ... and good to go.

Hey six - If you still need TPMS for the winter wheels, I found them on Ebay from an Acura dealer for $80 per set! I don't think I can post the link according to the rules here but PM me if you're interested and I'll send it to you.

tks, but I bought a set because I'm keeping my OEMs as a dedicated winter set-up
