The 2006 rims look smaller when your car is lower, or maybe it's just me. Looks nice otherwise.

Rims on the TSX from the Wheel Gallery:

good decision on the konis, my ride quality went downhill fast with the pro kit stock shocks combo. my vote would be no on those rims

I like the wheels, they look like M3 style wheels, very nice. Make sure to post pics of them on your car once you get them on!

Disagree with this one, my previous accord with eibachs pro and stock dampers had a perfect ride to mine and friends opinions, stiff enough to be sporty but still comfortable. Later on I changed the stock dampers with koni yellows... with the koni yellows at the weakest setting there is hardly any difference in the ride, it's not worth it in my opinon. And it's very likely you put the koni's at the weakest setting when you use the car as a daily driver.
But well, this is my personal experience.

By the way: nice looking in white! isn't available in europe

Why is the Pro Kit with stock dampers no good (not being a smart-ass, asking for real)? I'm interested in the Pro Kit, too -- don't want any different ride quality, just less wheel gap.

Nice taste in rims. Those are Ron Jon Inspyres right? I want them too, but they're a bit pricey..

It's funny how some people that have never seen a TSX before confuse it with a Beamer? I pull up to a restaurant and get off and dudes are like "nice beamer" WTF?

very interesting yes....

it will ride "ok" for while but I found that the ride quality eroded quickly. you are asking the stock shocks to deal with a lower ride height that they were not designed for. my shocks would bottom out so hard i thought the car was going to fall apart! getting konis helped alot. replacing the whole setup wtih Tanabes coilovers did wonders..just my 2 centz

I thought just going with the pro-kit would be fine as well. It was, until I put my summer rims/tires on. By the end of the summer the ride became unbearable and now I'm getting Koni Yellows installed sometime this week.
