My TSX with Konig Trouble rims and tint

My 17" Konig Trouble rims arrived earlier than expected! I was expecting to wait 5 weeks for Discount Tire to get them in but they got them in early and so I made the trip to Fort Gratiot, MI to pick them up on the weekend. I have them with 225/45/17 Pirelli P-Zero Nero M+S tires.

I finally got a chance to take some pics today cause the rain finally let up. Enjoy

Yeah the drop's going to have to wait a bit while I replenish funds.

Yep, I caught that after I posted. Thanks for the reminder.

Although it makes the car look slightly more fragile, I like the overall image it portrays.

Sturm every mod you make makes me want to see your car in person even more.

Did you have any trouble getting the wheels across the border?

The M&S versions weigh 24-25 pounds by Pirelli's "tech support".

By the way, your driver's front tire needs more air...bad. The Pirelli's run a lot better with more air.

interesting rims, I like the 2 tones on it. I prefer polished lips, but I think your ride will look great w/ a drop. do it!

Dani - The wheels are 19lbs each according to Konig

Dan - Hopefully we'll both be able to make the next T.O. meet! Got through the border no problem.

Lung - I have them at 35psi. I'll check the pressure again today, but I filled them up with air the night before I took the pics.

Thsoe could be the nicest aftermarket rims I've seen on a TSX so far

Whats scary is I think they'd look even better on a IBP.

And ya, you need a drop dude, but don't we all.

When is the next T.O TSX meet. Are we waiting for the Aug Speed challenge meet or we having one before then?

Everyone's entitled t otheir opinion. I love the rims and the fact that nobody seems to have them in my area is even better so my car is unique that way

It was $1362US including taxes from Discount Tire. Not a bad deal at all I think.
