My Turn! Pics of My Ride

Just got my new wheels today!
Wheels: 19x8" TSW Kyalami, Hyperblack, 40mm offset
Tires: General Exclaim UHP 225/35-19

Slight rubbing in the front on hard turns and bumps, but as you can see I'm pretty low right now. I'm probably going to raise the front end up about 1/4". The wheels are pretty much flush with the fenders, except the rears which have negative camber, but that will be fixed soon with an Ingalls kit. I had been looking long and hard for good pictures of NHB TSXs with black or Hyperblack rims but couldn't find many. Decided to finally make my own after getting my own set. Black on Black on Black, enjoy!

tru dat. It looks like a replica spoon spoiler. I saw one on ebay a while back, but didn't want it because you need to drill holes.

bought them from discount tire at a pretty good price and got great customer service from the guy i kept annoying by asking prices on a bunch of different setups. not sure what they weigh, but when i picked them up and picked up my stock ones (tires mounted on both) they seemed pretty close. anyone know where i can get actual specs online - tried TSW but no luck?

the wheels do come in a higer offset if you get the 19x7, but the guy from TSW insisted that the wheels with 225/35-19 should be fine. he's kind of right, i just need to raise the front a bit.

im dropped at the recommended measurements written in the tein basic manual - not quite sure how low that is, but its pretty low. need to raise it a tad in the front.

the spoiler was on the car in the dealership lot at Vandergriff. it looked like all of the other TSXs and TLs in the lot also had lip spoilers put on. when i told the dealership that my lip spoiler's adhesive wasnt sticking the right side of the spoiler down, they gave me a number to some guy named Josh who they get all of their spoilers installed and told me he could fix it up for me. havent gotten around to doing it yet but i will soon.

I believe I've found the spoiler that you have on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2006-...98061848QQrdZ1

anyone wanna buy this and tell us how it fits? the ebay one is two bolts, but the one that n1ke5h has seems to be using tape.

Wow that looks really good. I thought they would stick out too much with that offset, but they don't at all. 19's are so nice!

hey nikesh,

Man, what happened to the wheels...it's only been a week. Sorry for your loss, but get the city to pay for the wheels because of the potholes.
