Veilside - Andrew Evolution V
Okay, I am seriously considering ordering these wheels in 19" size. I have a few concerns:
1. Has anyone used these and been able to mount the TPMS onto these wheels?
2. How does the 19" size change, for instance, speedometer readings and performance, if at all? The last time I went away from factory sizes it jacked up my reading and cornering, not on an RX-8, but other vehicles. I am considering going with the 10-10.5 rears and 9-9.5 fronts.
3. If anyone has owned these, have you been happy with the finish on them? My meaning is have you had problems with pitting of the chrome rapidly? Don't want to drop ~$900 each if they are not any better, finish wise, than a cheaper wheel.

$900 for rims that weigh more than a pile of bricks and have no proven quality?
I can find you a dozen rims that are better and less expensive, and won't embarass you in public.
but if these are the rims you want... heads up fitting 10-10.5 in the rear is going to be very hard without rolling the fenders. Also... make sure to get a reasonable offset.
