pics of my NEW wheels!!! (NOTHING JDM here!)

Yo...guys!
I just snapped a couple of pictures after putting on my new wheels. Last month I had my coilovers installed, and since then I have installed Ingalls rear camber kit and done an allignment last Saturday.

This is my second set of pictures and you can find the first after installing my Tanabes here... http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32494


Current mods:
-Aspec Bodykit
-Tanabe sustec pro Type II
-35% metalic tint
-18" TSW Volcano (Hyper Black)
-Nitto NT555 tires

my current mods are mainly cosmetic!

Future mods:[listed in order]
-Progress Rear Sway bar
-K&N Typhon CAI
-DC Headers
-Hondata Reflash
-Tanabe MT exhaust or Greddy SP2

I'm having a hard time in which exhaust to pick, So help me out guys. Should I go for the MT or SP2?


The future mods will hopefully be here by next spring

ps. Don't mind the car for being a little durrrrrrty.

Thanks to all....nothing fancy on these pictures. Until I find a place they'll will be an actual photo shoot.

Nothing JDM, I don't like Hondas

eventually I'll probably get the JDM euro R headlights....

Nitto's are a little bit noisy, I expected that from them, I must say they are great in the rain....they have GREAT traction! I thought I'd give them a try though. However, I'll probably go with Toyo T1R's for my next set. I love Toyo Tires, they're definitely the best.

Thanks man!
As low as I am, I think the Tanabes are really great. cornering is definitely better than stock...and just as soft for ride comfort. Body lean has been greatly reduced. I give them a !!!

No, I never had g-games. But definitely let us know how the MT sounds with the mods you have, and possibly pictures on you ride, thanks man.

I just got Tanabe MT installed this morning. Its pretty louder than I thought. Maybe its because of headers and high flow cat. I took some pictures with my 2.3megapixel cell phone and I'll put the pictures up later tonight.

Sounds good! I think I am going to hold off on the wheels for a while. I can't seem to decide on a style, not to mention I can't afford to buy them now.
