bronze buddy club on a Milano Red TSX, yay or nay?



Im not a fan of chrome, and I think silver looks too plain on a red tsx... gold is too much... what do u guys think?

Hi all,

from the buddyclub website, I have found the following size which I *think* would fit the TSX fine... but I would appreciate it if somebody could confirm fitment

size 18 x 8
bolt pattern 5 x 114.3
offset: + 45

I am planning to run 225/40/18 tires

I would be getting a set of cheap (or should i say "affordable" so that I dont insult anybody) height adjustable coilovers (most likely the Tein Basic) so that I could adjust the ride height to minimize the chances of rubbing

Please let me know, as I plan to order my suspension and wheels to complete my stage 1 upgrade soon (stage 1 = suspension, which includes the aforementioned, along with Ingall camber kit and a rear sway bar)

Im getting my car tinted today, and stage II will consist of full Euro R kit with foglights, jdm emblems, and Euro R grille, stage III will include header and exhaust)

Pics to come soon! and once again, thanks guys

Yes those would definetly fit. I am currently running 18 x 8 w/ a +44 offset and that is including a (2 in front and 1 1/2 in rear) drop utilizing the TEIN BASICS. No rubbing whatsoever for me. Hope that helps!!!

Go for it. I think bronze and red will complement each other nicely, especially since those are some good looking wheels too.

thanks for the prompt response guys! Right now I am just sourcing out the cheapest source. Hopupracing.com sells them for $522/wheel (these are the 2 piece version; the 1 piece cast version is only $235/wheel but the offset is at +35). If you guys know a good place to get buddy club wheels other than hopupracing, please let me know!! =)

kboosman: thanks for all the help!
IloveMyHonda/Viscous: I am from the SF bay area too!! maybe we can schedule a meet some time in the future!

Congrats man! Getting new wheels is always exciting

I see your from the Bay Area, I might want to come check out your Tein SS after you get them installed.

Tsx536: Sure thing! I will post pictures and a review after I have the components installed, and if you happen to be in the bay, i'll be happy meet up with a fellow tsx forum member.
I am having the components installed by auto innovations in fremont, and after that I'll be taking my car in for an alignment

Im still deciding on tires (auto innovations can order them for me since they will be mounting them) but my budget is somewhat tight after spending quite a bit on the car itself less than a week ago, and then the rims and suspension components
