Hmm...those RSX wheels look small on the TSX. I've been wondering what they might look like...

They make the TSX look a bit too buff.

Not too shabby. Looks better than stock, but could be better if they were 18s. Still like them though!

That's the only thing I don't like about my tsx is the rims, and I had high hopes for those RSX rims, they do need to be a bit bigger, they look too small...it's kinda like some of the folk at my gym, good upper body, but chicken legs down below...hehe

Now if only Ron Jon's (on the top there) were 17's...I really don't want to go to 18's.

it's odd that some people get that impression that the rims are smaller yet they are the same 17x7 as the stock TSX.. i think it could be the inner lip that kinda deceives people into thinking it is a bit smaller???

anyways, the goal here was to:
-make the TSX look a bit more unique from the thousands of stock ones on the road
-not ready to 'drop' it yet so wanted a 'stock' touch for now without spending too much

I agree with dzuy, if you drop the car, they won't look small anymore. I can't wait to drop my car so that the stock rims will look better (in my eyes at least)

tuner lugs on OEM wheels? if so, that's not a good idea.

I Take my previous comments away. (The lighting probably made the huge difference since your car and tired blended in with the dark ambience)

Anyways, it loooks great.

Thanks, I've gotten a ton of complements on them already, and it's only been two days. Some guy stopped into my work today to ask what kind of car it is (it's debadged) and what the rims were........wish I was in Vancouver and saw your offer, would have saved some $$$$$.....
