**Wheel Recommendations/Consideration Thread**

[timot_one]

My TL's are like 27 lbs, while my 18" Buddy Clubs are 18 lbs.  It all depends on what wheels you buy.

^^^Then again not sure what weight differences there may be between TL Fat Fives and TL-Ss. I would think that TL-Ss would be lighter since they are off the performance version of the TL.

On a side note Tim, DAMN!!! 18lbs for 18s. I think the tires weigh more!

[timot_one]

You are correct.  My tires weigh 25 lbs.  When I talked to Buddy Club last year, that's what they told me though.  They said the 18x7.5 +42 P1 Racing SF wheels were 18 lbs.

I have been having some trouble deciding on whta wheels i want once i get the gram lights sold

Any suggestions?

I'll take $385 shipped for tires any day versus $630 for the 19" tires. Get the TL-S rims, get some Falken Ziex ZE-912 235/35/17 for $385 shipped through my hookup at Discount Tire Direct, and call it a day . I weighed my TL 5-spokes yesterday and them things are light compared to most 18's and 19's!

thats a hella good deal... once the gram lights are sold i think i will follow that idea

And now i am stuck lol I was sittin here tlaking to the gorgeous news lady(who lacked intelligence but had a HUGE rock on her finger) and the idea of HFP wheels came to mind. This poses a question, what do you guys think?

I see more and more Accords nowadays with these and they look pretty hot, although I still haven't seen them on a lowered Accord, Big Mike.

PS: Just weighed my TL 5-Spokes (Made by Enkei which I didn't know) and they weighed in at 23.1lbs. I am surprised they weigh less than TL-S wheels.

i am stuck between those, TL or TL-S wheels, or maybe something similar to your weapons

Just corrected my post. They actually weigh 4 lbs LESS than TL-S wheels. Your first mission is to sell the Gramlights first, then shop for wheels, Big Mike. If not you will end up like I was at some point... 5 sets in the garage & shit. Not fun

I was told that they weigh more.  Good to know they're not 27 lbs.  For the record, all Honda OEM wheels are made by Enkei.

What do you guy's think of these on my SSM coupe

I wouldn't get them because they're too flashy, but that's just me.

[Mike]

I sort of agree, but I like the titanium look lip.

[Blackhawk]

A lip like that would only go well with a flat grey or black center, Mike. Otherwise it will pop too much like Tim said. Also the spokes bend in too sharply. In other words, too much going on. Let me see if I can throw you some suggestions.

[timot_one]

The titanium lip is the main reason why I'm not crazy about them.  If you like them, then get them.  As I said, they're just too flashy for my tastes.  I have a feeling that as more companies start making wheels with the rainbow colored titanium lips, they're going to get extremely popular and over used like the black wheel/polished lip look.  My friend has those wheels with black spokes on his wife's RX8 and they just stand out too much.  If you're looking for different colors with the polished lip, I know that some of the Gram Lights 2 piece cast wheels have the titanium lip with graphite spokes.  They're a little more low key than the Konig's you posted.  The 57 Pro's are my favorite.
