Does anyone else find it lame that the TSX uses the same wheels as the 6b cyl Accords? I know dipping into the parts bin has to occur, but when you try to differentiuate brands and even models using the same wheels is makes little sense. The wheels themself are not the best Honda has to offer either. Most if not many will disagree, but the new Civic EX wheels are as nice if not nicer than the TSX's....

I think the TSXs is actually nice.

theyre not the same. the tsx has curves to them, the accords are straight-arrow spokes.

Yeah, they're not the same at all. Plus the Accord uses 16" wheels while we have 17".

If you can find one, go look at a 2004 NSX. We have the same wheels as that car, just an inch smaller. I'm serious, go take a look. Of course the NSX wheels curve more, but that's what you get when you increase the size and still want it to look normal. But the design is the same, at least more similar than to the V6 Accord.

I personally am not a fan of the rims. It's a dull finish aluminum. I would much prefer the Euro-R split forks.

Both the TSX and the Accord V6 Coupe 6M use a size 17X7JJ aluminum wheel made by Hitachi. The Accord wheel lists for $265.05. The TSX wheel lists for $480. Honda and Acura use different parts numbering systems so I'd hate to find out that Acura asks $215 more for the same part!
