. I just have a thing against white wheels. You really don't like the silver A-specs? I like 'em. If I had some extra cash laying around I'd get them. What about RonJon's?

1. 08W17-SEC-200C - Sparkle Silver (really look bluish silver)
2. 08W17-SEC-200B - Gunmetal color
3. 08W17-SEC-200E - Chrome look
As for the Ron Jons - they are nice, but I want to use aftermarkets parts - keep it all OEM.

not really directed at anyone, It's a personal choice, I didn't care for the gold BBS ones that came with the white sti or gold in general on a car...but hey, that's just me. Kind of veered of course from his original question about painting them, which I was opposed to as well

in my headbut it might be interesting to actually see, who knows it might werk, but did you mean WHITE WHITE or PWP white. Cuz then it will clash if its not PWP white.

How about another color like gold? I think I saw a PWP with aftermarket gold rims, and it looked good

Sorry, don't know why/where I thought I saw them for that price.
18" tyres won't be too bad, depending on which brand and model you opt for.
Alternatively just keep saving until you can afford to go 18" if that's what you'd ultimately prefer.

BTW, do you think the 18" would look OK on my car without lowering the suspension?

I slapped on my 18's when my car was at 10K.. the OEMs are sitting in the garage.. Im sure they will come in handy one of these days
the OEM tires cost $200 but they are certainly not worth it.. do yourself a favor, get new rims and grippier tires so you can enjoy your TSX even more

They are worth it when it comes the longevity of the tires, because they can last a very long time, but when it comes to performance, the OEM's blow mice.
Yes, get better tires.

As for your 17's - keep them to flog on the car when that happens or flog them for whatever you can get for them locally or ebay.
