Hey Dzuy, I plan to get Carbon Grey Pearl TSX in next year, but the white pearl looked great. I like Ebony interior, but white pearl don't have one. I want to ask you some questions, do you think that Volk racing gunmetal LE28N wheelks would look good on CG or too much. I am trying to work on wheels and which wheels I will buy it. I am kind of interesting to buy Volk Racing wheels, because they are very good quality and lighter. I have 1994 honda accord with w type body kits, everything with 17 inch chrome, and gave me a little hard time to speed up. But I am sure that your car might be very easy to drive fast and smooth. Can you give me information where you buy those wheels from? Thanks, bro.
carbon gray eh? well, i just want to let you know that the CG is not the same as the 2003 tL type s gray, i think it's called anthresite or whatever...

anyway, the CG has a hint of green in it, so i don't klnow if gunmetal volks would liook good...i think so though, i've seen some pics of CG with the optional silver stars, and it looks good...i would reccommend getting volks, or something light...

the first set of rims i bought for the tsx was 18" racing hart c5 evo's...gunmetal with polish lip...you can see pics on the other forum...anyway, i it was really heavy...even though it looked good, i couldn't stnad how slow it made my car...so i got volks instead...i got my rims from racing zone autohouse...i can give you more info if you need it...

hurry though, the le-28n are limited for 2003 only, and i got one of the last sets...the le28n are the same as the ce28n, just with a polished lip...k..hope that helps.

Sorry to bust your bubble dzuy, but the le28n not only have the polished lip but also weigh a bit more, according to the mackin industries rep I spoke to.

i paid almost 2100 for just rims, it's funny that you posted that, i actually selling these rims, the le-28n's for 2200 obo RIM AND TIRE...i already ordered another set of rims and need to get rid of these. you have first dibs accsuperstar. no scratches, tires are excellent condition, b/c i don't race or peel out...

buyer pays shipping, if you interested, leave a post...i guess i should start a new thread, i'll do it later hehe

hmm..i don't know, and i haven't measured yet...i can make it over SOME park bump stops though, or at least it looks like i can anyway, i don't want to find out hehe..

ride and comfort? well, anytime you drop your car it's not gonna be that smooth anymore, it depends i guess...i'm used to driving lowered cars, so it wasn't that bid of a deal to me, but you can definetly feel the bumps on the road more...handling is a lot better too, even at low cornering speeds, there is a definet decreasee in body roll and sway

Dzuy,

I wonder why did you decide to sell your volk racing wheels? Aew you planning to get 18 inch or 19 inch wheels, I am just curious. I can't believe that you already sold first wheels of racing hart then decided to sell volk racing. It must be nice to afford it, ha. When you get your new wheels and please send a picture and what it look like. Thanks, bro.

hmmm i think he will be leaving this week back to austin for school. the price on ebay is the next best bet if we cant figure something out. its just easier for him to switch the tires with the tools available at the service garage

Very nice rims man... by the way, why not go for offset +50, which I think is closer to the stock offset? Cause I am thinking of getting a set myself, but not sure if with +50 offset, the spoke will clear the brake calipers.

oh also, do you mind measuring the clearance between the spoke and the front brake callipers with using +43 offset? If the clearance is more than 7mm, then I'm sure +50 would fit just fine.

Thanks!
