Hah, boards are a good place to vent... on a side note, are you really hot?

LOL.

On another side note, ever consider having a group buy for your wheels? I really want the chrome Inspyres but they're out of my price range.

LOL, you have made an immediate impact on this board since you've come on.

How about you purchase some 18" Chrome Inspyres from RonJon with me so that we can get a nice deal on them.

lol... that would be VERY nice, but I don't think they would do it. Half of this board hates me already..
plus if I could do that I would probably pick out some HRE's.. hehe

actually funny thing... my girlfriend just got a Yukon and got rims on it (Zinic's) at a local tireplace.. well I called them up and asked them about my car and he said he would put RONJON's on it. and im like WHO? and then I come on this site a week later and find out they are the official Acura wheel or something.. it was weird.. and cool u know what i mean.. so maybe I will seriously look into RonJOn wheels.

which ones are u looking at?

The last time he had a group buy the 18x7.5 went for $250 silver or $350 chrome. The 19x7.5 went for $325 and $425. That group buy ended in August so I don't know what his current pricing is. Your best bet is to contact rondog directly for a quote: https://acurazine.com/forums/members/rondog-11504/

styphy32 - That pic is of the non chrome ones. I think it would look even better with chrome to match the chrome exterior trim (which is why I'm interested)

Yeah, someone told me $1400 for the chromes. Man, that would basically put it around $2000 without mounting or balancing. Way too pricey for me even though I love the look. I was hoping to get everything (rims and tires) under $1500. I guess I have to keep shopping around...

when u say $2k u mean for tires too? or what?
yeah it does look really good. my friend told me to be careful for rims that cost under $200..
i really like the DONZ rims.. check out these 2 links:
i like this rim in the black powercoat: http://store1.yimg.com/I/wheelsperfo..._1829_70583229 (although this is a 3-piece so probably $$)
and this one in chrome:
http://store.yahoo.com/wheelsperform...onzcapone.html
the DONZ capone is nice:
http://store.yahoo.com/wheelsperform...nzgallery.html

the really nice thing is that this company, DONZ, gives a 3year warranty on their chrome! most only do 1 yr!

Yeah, 2Gs for tires included and mounting and balancing.

I'm not really feeling the Donz rims, though that 3 year warranty is pretty sweet.
These look nice though, love the deep lip! or these forged rims. But I'm sure both these are ridiculously expensive so no go for me.

I'm not a big fan of the aggressive blade look. I actually like the thinner 5 spoked look better and if I wanted to get fat blades, then I would go with the Racing Hart C5s.

They're a very expensive rim; old hot rodders seem to have money to burn. I saw a used set of 17"s for $1700; new 18's are $600+ each.......

yes

Actually, Yes, I am the big bad wolf that you made me out to be...raaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!! I do have a weak wife, I am so self centered.....raaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! "SORRY THIS IS LONG:
Ok I am interested in talking seriously with someone who knows their shit about cars, especially the TSX and parts/performance and will help me. If anyone would be willing to chat with me via e-mail I would really appreciate it. I am sorry I am just so busy I cannot go through all these forums and then on top of that, many times my questions are not asked/answered and then I really have no basic idea so i feel stupid. " I think that I made my point about this. You should've just came right out and asked and not preceded your ranting and crying about your time if you weren't going to post as much as you do. As for my comment about the BF, there is a special vocabulary in our english language relegated for comment like mine, er..is it...uhm...sarcasm. If you need an explanation, send me a message and i'll be glad to help you there..

BOOYAKASHA!
RESPECT!
