One Clean ass modded TSX, with 18" wheels

I'm sorry if anybody disagrees with me, but this is one of the cleaniest assed TSX's Ive seen. Drop is compliments of Photoshop springs, but thats the only change from reality. Its freshly zainoed and the kit is OEM. The wheels are 18" x 7.5" Machined RonJon Wheels Inspyre with a 50offset. Just one great overall package. Oh yeah, thats my Cl-S with 19"s in the background. We had a ball mounting these suckers and shooting them in some crazy crackheads backyard. Man It was fun breaking all those windows, huh Kevin. anyway, we got to get up for a beer sometime, later.

Not feelin the wheels, and that's one good photoshop drop, and it is the cleanest TSX I've seen, next to mine nice Zaino job!
If ACCSuperstar would Zaino his car and post pics, it would blow that photoshopped ride out the water!

Very nice!

I dunno about the graphics on the CL though. The black band on top and the shadow beneath the car makes it look like a tank's tread.

Well, I thought the CL has such a long body like the lincoln MarkVIII, so I threw in that graphic to give the illusion of a shorter body between the front and rear wheelwells by connecting them. Looks alot better in person, and I am close to taking off the black graphic on the front fender. the tires on the TSX are falken Ziex, 225/40/18 and I can say that they look so aggressive with the reinforced sidewall and lip protector feature on them.

the weights of the wheels are in one of the links in my sig, but I know that they are lighter than stock. 18" inspyre has a weight of 24 lbs If I can recall, but that is the weight of the prototype i have in my office. the production was modified slightly, so the weight may be more or less by a tad. As for stock 17", I really don't know since I own a CL-S. Servos are lighter than the Inspyre, but keep in mind, My wheels are more asthetic, more about styling and a perfect fit. Performance isn't the main priority, yet I took it into consideration when designing and engineering the wheels.

the spokes travel to the end of the rim so it gives the ilusion of being as l;arge as the space allows, also, the 225/40/18 falken ziex tires look so good and aggressive with the sidewall shape that it gioves the tire that stretched look, enhancing the whole combo.

Does going with 225/40/18 make it a lot stiffer than the 235/40/18? Also, would the 225/40/18 mess with the speedo, MPG, stability/traction control?

Thanks...I love that car!
