I figured we can all post pictures/info of wheels and tires we are considering to buy in one single thread instead of cluttering the forum.  I'll start it out...

What does everybody think of these?



They are 19x8.5 +40

They seem like they would look like mirrors in motion. I had a set like this on my old Infiniti G20 that were 17x7 and looked amazing.

I like them a lot the only thing is that as Ryan highlited yesterday, I would lose my Blackhawk "Stealth" theme. I saw it as an extra set rather than a replacement, since I then will have 1EA 17" set, 1EA 18" set, and 1EA 19" set,

Nice selection Rolo. Flat machined wheels are growing on me. Jeeze I need a 30K salary raise sigh...

These are the sexiest wheels ever.  I've wanted these in a 18"x8.5" +45 forever.  It's too bad that they don't look like this in the size I want.

That actually looks about right for a +45 offset, Tim. Lip is not too big and spokes are not very curved. Did you want more lip?

Don't get me wrong, they still look good.  I can't find the picture of them on the TSX that I saw before, but here's one of a TSX with 18"x7.5" +48 T57-RC's.  They still look alright, but I just don't think they'll look that great on my car.  I definitely want 18"x8.5" +45 so I could fit a meaty tire on them though.  If I got an 8.5" wheel, I'd probably push the limits with a 265/35/18 since it's a 25.3" diameter.

You might have some fitment problems there Tim. I got the Hawk back from alignment yesterday at .5" lower and I am rubbing on bumps. Nothing horrific but rubbing is rubbing to me. You may prefer to go 255/35 on a 8.5" rim to prevent "doughnuting", rubbing, and in order to stay slammed.

I'm not completely slammed though.  Don't forget that I'm going to be rolling my quarter panels and pulling my fenders (even more) before I have my car painted.  It's good to have my body work done by a friend.  That way, I get exactly what I want.

Well that would be necessary anyways since the sedan's wheel wells are narrower than the coupes from factory. I may need to roll my rears even more tonight. Damn addiction to being low
