In ten days, I will have owned my coupe for 5 years. As most of you know, over the course of those 5 years I've gone through a few sets of rims.

Here's a recap in case you forgot about any of them ;). In chronological order:

1. Factory GS

Image


2. 18" Kaotik Z5

Image


3. 18" Mille Miglia Evo5

Image


4. 17" Lexus IS300

Image


5. 17" 2005 Acura RSX Type-S Chrome

Image


6. 17" 2004 Acura TL

Image


7. GS Chrome

Image


8. 17" 2002 Acura CL Type-S

Image


9. 19" Racing Hart C2

Image


And now... (for how long? ;))

10. 17" 2002 Acura CL Type-S Chrome

Image

Thanks Gilbert (VegasGS) for selling them to me.

Still have the C2's btw. They aren't going anywhere for awhile...

holy cow, I cant believe that's your 10th set! how many sets do you still own?

the stars on your new set look a little wide to me...but it could be the early morning pics though. cant wait to see them in person!

my favorite 2 are the 18" Miglia's and the 17" RSX

I think it's the chrome that's making them look a little on the fat side.

Other than that, the car and the wheels are flawless.

wow, 10 sets what a rim whore! not my favorite set but looking good. I'd guess they will be around 6 months (5yr/10sets=6mo per). who is going to hold the money for the betting pool?

Still working on it!! I'll keep ya posted.
of course my vote goes to the c2's...so sexy
I think that's the thing everyone agrees on. They are great wheels, but not practical for daily driving -- especially on long trips with unfamiliar roads. The last time I rode on the C2's out to LA, I ended up with a slightly bent outer lip that I had to have fixed for $125. Bottom line, I have to have something else to throw on for the long trips but the C2's are great for show.
you, or someone else, should try these TLs:
I'd rock 'em - find me a set!
Those IS300's looked nice. The C2's are a keeper.
The mille Miglias and the C2s are perfect on your car...
I do miss the MM's a little bit. They certainly were flashy.
something about those being chrome just doesn't do it for me
I keep going back to chrome but I can see what you're saying. It's almost like the wheels take away from the car because they demand so much attention.
which ones are your favorite? I liked the Harts.
Total agreement here.
The tire's on the chrome CL's look too big for your car for some reason.
They're big for sure --225/50/17. They fill up the wheel wells a lot, and that's why I like them. Plus the car rides nice.
wow that's alot of rims C2's are your car are hot hot hot though.
Not my favorites, but change can be good.
Like the pics.
they best decision you ever made was : 9. 19" Racing Hart C2
Thx guys.
Tyson, what's your favorite ride for all around driving?
17's are the most practical size for all-around driving, hands-down. Just big enough to look good, but not so big that you have to be paranoid about potholes and other road hazards.

all the others are just "ok"

I other words i wouldnt take a double take at your car if i saw you at a red light unless you had on #9. 19" Racing Hart C2
The other wheels make your car "a single take"
I do however think your car is really clean.! cheers

Tyson, what's your favorite ride for all around driving? I'm torn between 17's & 18's because the roads are rough in some of the areas I regularly drive.
