Those rims are gorgeous, I want. Although the wheel gap looks bigger than normal. Maybe its becaue the car is blk.

Tsx536

The gap does look kinda big. The car still looks tight though.

Those rims are nice!

dom

puma, how much were those rims anyway?

foolioness

How much did you get them for?
It looks tight.

Viking

Nice rims!

What size tires are you running on those rims?

puma0504

THANKS MAN!! yeah, I am thinking about getting a little drop. Can't afford it right now...I got the rims for 1250 including installation.
peace.

puma0504

They are 17z. It's really wierd though...the gap looks so much wider in the pictures then in person..

That's because the flat part of the fenders are showing up like part of the wheel gap in the pictures.......

NIce~ I want to see them in person....

Viking

I was wondering if you put a different size tire on like 235/45/17 instead of the stock 215/50/17. The rim width is 7.5 right?

NeoChaser

drop it and get a kit and it's done

dabuda

Nice rims, now you just need a drop

Grayed

What's the width of those rims? 7" or 7.5"? Are those stock size tires as well?

puma0504

The width is 7.5" But you can use the stock tires.

i noticed the wheel gap looks bigger when I have the 04 TL 8" wide rims in (same wheel diameter compared with stock tsx wheels). it's just an illusion that since wider tires protrude more outward, so u'll see the wheels more clearly as well as the wheel gap. all u gotta do is SLAM IT LIKE U MEAN IT! but either way, very nice wheels, matches up with black tsx

dzuy

i guess looking at the stock height with the a spec rims. and comparing it to the a spec tsx i saw at the dealer yesterday - the a spec tsx is a lil lower, still too high, but lower than your car.

your car looks good, if you lowered it - it would look better - but it looks clean the way it is.

puma0504

Thanks man! In your opinion how big of a drop should I put on my car? I want it to look sleek but still classy

kaikai114

with 17" I'd think Eibach Prokit will give you the balance between sleek and classy, but of course if you got bigger rims, you can go lower without looking ricey imho.

puma0504

Thanks for the advice man!...yeah, I'm not really into the bigger tires..I think 17z are good enough for me...I don't want to go too low cuz I want to avoid the boy racer look.

dzuy

eibach pro kit will give you a nice clean look. you wont be that low but it's noticable.

alot of people here are fans of the a spec, but i cant tell the diff, i guess it is better than stock i guess.

the ride will get uncomfy with just springs tho - i can express how much i regret getting just springs.

i would get springs, shocks, camber kit and alignment all at once.

believe me, if you dont have the money now, i would just wait and save up and get it all at once.

puma0504

What all does the eibach pro kit include? It would be really cool if I could see your car and its drop... Do you have any pics of your ride posted in the forums? Thanks for all your help. Peace

NJtsx

not to jump in but Pro Kit is just the springs....Checkmthe wheel gallery, alot of members have the spring setup.

dzuy

the eibach pro kit is a lowering spring only. it lowers your car 1.6 in front, 1.4 in back. you will def need a camber kit, i bought an ingalls camber kit from ultrarev.com

i have tons of pics, you just have to search button. i have 19's tho, yours are only 17's...and now i have tein flex coilovers - no longer the eibach pro kit.,

trust me, do some serious research before you mod your suspension - i bet your ride quality is soo good right now - lowering it will def make your car a lot stiffer, unless you're used to it, which it doesnt seem like it to me

good luck, any more questions, feel free to ask.

kaikai114

tein flex is the way to go if u have the cash, how much does it run again? around $1300ish right dzuy? if not, u can buy the springs and shocks separately, for example Eibach Prokit + Koni Yellows will run you around $700. tein flex is fully adjustable while koni yellows have 3 settings

steve457

How well does the stock tire size fit on the 7.5" wheel? Does the tire looked stretched out at all? I'm thinking about getting the same wheel, but am debating on whether to get the 215/50/17 or 235/45/17 tire.
