I see the 2019's with the "normal" wheels and they don't really "pop". Then again, I haven't seen one in person.

They've grown on me. Looks good after detailing and tire gel(not spray). I'm sticking with the stock wheels, I don't feel like putting more money into this car, and never getting it back.

I’ve seen them up close and you’re right they don’t pop

I had a '16 EX-T sedan and liked them. I now have a '19 EX hatch and they're the darker versions and they're okay. I kind of wished they weren't tinted dark on the hatch but the design isn't bad to me. The five spokes on the '19 sedans are nice but I almost think they'd look better in an aluminum finish instead of the gun metal look - they just don't pop for me. I'm thinking maybe finding a set of the 17" touring wheels - I really like those.

Meh. I have the hatch with the darker ones and they're not ugly but I can't wait to replace them. I'd maybe like them more if I didn't have a black car (I don't like black on black) but I will use them as winter wheels, they'll be better than steelies looks wise.

I guess my search is now for the best performing year round all season. I bought Nokian zLine A/S UHP's at a great price and thought they were the answer until I found out they were horrible in snow.
Off topic, but can you please share more from your experience with the Nokian zLine A/S in the snow? I'm seriously considering them for my next set of tires. Here in the Pacific Northwest we don't often get snow accumulation, but it does happen a couple times a year.

Thanks so much!

They're still in my basement. I still have tons of tread on my OEM tires.

Ah I must have misread your comment..
So how did you find out about how they handle in the snow? I was hoping that Nokian would pay special attention to winter performance in their all season tires.

The couple reviews I've found on forums say they are essentially Nokian zline summers with a bit more siping and different compound. Fantastic tires but snow is not their thing.
