sweet, thanks for the tips!
I think I'll go the lowering route, the TSX suspension appears to be really high, especially with OEM body kit.

yes I hate the rims. you wanted my opinion that is it. to make then look better first off you could lower the car. however to lower it enough to make 17s look right on the tsx you would need to lower it like 2 inches or more. along with doing that comes needing to change your driving habits or you will end up scraping the crap out of your front end. you need to go into any steep driveways or entrances at an extreme angle. you need to go over speed bumps at an angle usually taking up both lanes. however this is only if you lower it like 2.5-3 inches which is what is needed in my opinion to make 17s look right.
example:
so for your next mod depends on what you want to do. I would say lower it on some coilovers, however if you want more power than get an intake.
before I can tell you what you should do next I need to know what you want to do to the car.

Honestly the wheels are not that bad. I always felt that 17s are better for the TSX.
A BBK is a waste of money. Upgrading to new rotors and pads (along with braided lines) is sufficient. Save your money and get some coilovers!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, well aware the original meaning was owned, but in hasty typing, it turned out pwned.
So, stick that in your pipe and smoke it!
Now, do YOU know what l33t speak is?
