The story begins with my wife seeing a TL-S at the dealership last week when we picked up the TSX after some warranty work.

Being that I spent $3500 on mods a month ago, so I thought it was fine she spend $1800 on some wheels and tires

After a little research and some help from many members I made my decision.



WedsSport TC005 18x8 on 235/40/18 Kumho ECSTA SPT


Side by side with the 06 Factory wheel


During the install I realized that they mounted all 4 wheels for the left side of the car


I went ahead with the install and I called Discount Tire this morning and got them fixed. Once that was done it was time for some pics!!!!!!








peekaboo





jdm enough

special thanks to Acurasrule for all his help and the inspiration for the post title

 

HELL YEA!!!!! THOSE ARE PHUCKING SWEET!!!!!!!

Take a pic with the front wheel turned out. I want to see the TREAD pattern.

 

thank you sir, it will look better with the kit

 

true.

 

That looks HOT!

Damnit...seeing that is making me contemplate changing to a different set of wheels for the summer...

 

as per your phone request

 

lookin good

 

Definitely better than stock rims.

 

look good

 

this coming from the wheel man is a big compliment

 

Looks like a winner. Nice going Sean.

 

Wow, this thread is just freaky. My bonus pays out next Thursday, at which point I had (just as of yesterday!) decided on that exact wheel/tire combination for my 04 CGP. You just sold me ten-fold on my decision; that car looks GORGEOUS!

I can't wait to order mine.

 

They look 10x better now , oem for the lost..

 

I think I'm the only one left who doesn't care for these / the TL-S wheels. Whatever floats your boat.

 

To each their own. I am going to see if my guy at Radley can hook me up with a set of TL-S or 07 TL take-offs that I can try on my car.

 

soo why didn't you get the tl-s??? just wondering.. and what all did you get from your research?.. i'm considering.... =)

 

just B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l

 

I think the TLS wheels are 18 x 8.5

But sure that Wedsport wheel is getting popular....thought it discontinued

 

Nope. TL-S wheels are 17x8, same as the stock wheels, just a different design.

 

CLEAN, nice wheel choice

Im actually getting a set of 235/40/18 Kumho SPTs to mount on my new wheels, how do you like them so far?

 

looks good man

 

get them quick there being discontinued

 

the oems make good spares

your entitled to your opinion and i have no problem with mine, but they float both mine and my wifes

 

i got the WEDS because if I was going to spend the $$ on wheels I wanted to one up.

my research was to poll the forums and friends on tire choices and clearance issues, but as you can see in the pics they barely show any tire outside of the fender, which is just fine with me


The Kuhmos compared very similarly to a lot more expensive tires(ie- goodyear eagle f1s), but were right at $100 a piece, which helped me decide that I would choose them because I could replace them if I didn't like them

As far as ride quality(25-30 miles driven so far) they ride nice, but since it's pouring here in FL. I haven't been able to really test them.

I did notice on my way to work today that my car bottoms out a little on large bumps. It seems to hit the fender liner clip that is located in the center of the wheel well at the top. I don't want to adjust the height, so I guess i'll take it easy around the bumps.

I'm at full stiff right now on the FLEX(edfc motors mounted, but not wired up), so I hope it won't get worse when i soften it up

 

there 17x8 like CG said and they are being discontinued, so I got a good deal

 

saweeeeeet once you get that kit put on...it'll really set it off...looking good...can't wait to see it in person..

 

this twin is all grown up now

you better be at the meet on the 10th

 

looks nice except for the Patriots logo in the front

 

3 outta the last 6 years aint bad

probably gonna get a SOX plate for baseball season

 

What offset are the wheels?

 

+42mm

 

damn you!!! we're nowhere near identical anymore...i'll be at the meet...did jason tell you about the eibach springs he's giving me?

 

Wow, that looks great! And thanks for the pictures showing us how the wheels/tires line up with the fender. I've always wondered what how 18x8's +42 would fit.

 

yeah but those will be installed on another install date

and the great thing for you is if everything I do to my car allows you to plan for yours and you get first dib on the kit if I ever decide to sell it

 

that is why i was so tentative about ordering until I was sure and I think they fit fine

a little neg camber on the fronts would help some, but i'm talking so little it's not worth it to get a 2nd alignment in a month

 

tru...tru...i told jason that i wasn't in a hurry to put the springs on...whenever you guys have time...how do you think it will look on my car? i'm only looking to close the wheel gap some...not slam it...

 

follow my pic links to my photobucket album and look at jason's car

the pics from our first meet are when he had them on

 

i don't see any pic links

 

i meant use the original pics to find my photobucket album then look at his car


here's a pic from the meet anyways

 

i have the same pics...i was wondering if it would look as low since he had 18's
