RimS
I recently purchased some 18' Lexani rims for my Acura TSX 06. I was wondering can 20's fit on my car and is it better to have 18 inch Lexani's than no name 20 inch rims. My best friend and I have a bet and he thinks that the name brand doesn't matter with rims it's the size that matters. My Acura brother and sisters, what do u think?

Ask the guys in the TSX forum. As an owner of a 2007 TSX, 20s generally do not work since a higher offset is required for FWD Hondas (and the S2000 ... it has a crazy offset in the rear!). Not only are there issues with fitment, there are issues with durability -- hit a good sized pothole in Trenton, Jersey City, Seacaucus, Morristown, or anywhere in the Tri-State area (I have family there ... so I know the state of decay NJ roads are like ...) and you're going to pay mint to fix your 20s. 18s are usually a very good compromise between looks / practicality.
But seriously ... chrome? Most Lexani I think are cast rims -- no more durable than a no name brand. If you're talking about BBS, OZ (forged), Volk, Centerline, or Work (forged) ... different story. Forged rims are far more durable than cast rims.

If he was driving an Acura you would actually take his statement into consideration and put smaller rims on your car?

thanx to all who helped me but I have another quick question. Will my brakes work with rims? I was told that Acura's come with different brakes than other cars and I looked at my brakes on my car and they are kind of big.
