NO WAY! Those are the exact rims I want, TSW Volcanos! I'm trying to decide whether or not to get 17s or 18s. I definitely wouldn't be able to survive with 19s and the tire spec that you have, so it'll definitely be 17s or 18s. How much were they and where did you get them?

Atleast get the 18's man....17's are too small.. nice choice I got my rims from Radmotorsports here in Hawaii. I bought it as a rim & tire package. If you're thinking about getting the rims alone, then its close to being under a grand. Im not sure what other places are giving it for.. got any flixs of ur ride?..

I actually don't even have my TSX yet, LOL. Its supposedly getting delivered sometime in March. But, I've already got plans for it. I purchased the OEM Kit in a group buy and I plan on picking up the Eibach Pro Kit and Ingalls Rear Camber Kit. I'm trying to decide on some rims right now and if it'll cost under a grand for 18s, then I may make this purchase pretty soon, but I may wait until early summer so that I can relinquish some funds. I'm also thinking about picking up the Greddy Evo2 Catback, so I've got some decisions to make in the upcoming months.

DateTSX - I wish I was back in HI too. I went there for a week when I was transitioning to a new job. It was soooo much fun, but I still have so much to do there that I couldn't fit into that week. Northshore was soooo cool!

BTW. Does anyone know the quality of TSW Wheels? If I do end up going with 18s, then I'm assuming that it would be matched up with 225/40/18 tires, which I haven't had so much luck with 40s. I had 205/40/17 on my Integra wheels and they got bent up all the time. It wasn't able to handle small potholes in Boston. I was thinking about 17s so that I would be able to get 215/45/17 tires for them which would hold up better. If anyone knows or has experience with TSW rims please give me your input, thanks!

how much did you lower the front and back?
what's the a-spec kit? i know you don't mean the a-spec suspension because you have the tein flex's. is there more to the a-spec kit that i don't know about aside from suspension and body kit... maybe you mean the oem kit?

LOL, I think the Evo2 is going to be on hold until next summer. I have been researching on why my rims bent so badly on my Integra and I've gotten a lot of helpful info on why it could of bent. One possible reason is that my suspension setup which was GoldLine 1.5" Lowering Springs all around matched with my stock shocks were bottoming out and every time I would go over a pothole or railroad track, my car would bottom out and the weight of my car would put alot of pressure on my rims creating a bend. I want to alleviate this from happening on my TSX, so I am going to pick up either a spring/strut combo with Ingalls Rear Camber Kit or Full Coilover Kit with Rear Ingalls Camber Kit. This was unplanned since I was just going to go with Eibach Pro Kit and Rear Ingalls Camber Kit. Then in early summer, I am going to pick up some 18" wheels so this will set me back tremendously. That basically will drain my account and I won't have enough money to pickup the Evo2. Ah well, that'll give me something to look forward to next summer.

although it's 2" all around, is it me or does the front look lower than the back? common sense says it would be lower up front considering there's more weight up front. if that's the case, i might need to lower 1.5 in the front and 1.75 in the back to make the car look even. what do you guys think?

I've been looking into getting the Volcanos as well, but in 18. I found that the offset is at 40, does that still keep the wheel within the fender well? I know stock at at 50, so I want to be as close to stock as possible, but I LOVE the look of the TSW Volcanos and I haven't found anything similar to that with an offset close to 50. Please let me know, thanks!

Really nice pics! You make me miss my old stomping grounds.

If you want a suggestion for a picture location, Try near the Dillingham Air field on the North shore. Depending on which way you go, it's an amazing drive.

You can get some pretty nice pics with the surf behind you, and no pesky tourists.
