Pics of Work XD-9 17X8.5/17x9.5 with work lug nuts and Falken FK-452 and Apexi W2 catback exhaust. I also order the stickers set made for the work CR-kai in blue to use on the XD-9 to stick to the blue theme. Mounted and road force balance in my opinion worth the extra money as this service will ensure a vibration free ride and filled the tires with nitrogen which is an extra $2.50 per tire. I always wanted to go single but decided to get the Apexi for now and I'm glad I did, after the install and check for fitment it fits perfectly and clears everything. Took it out for a test drive immediately I felt and increase in power but haven't drive it at full throttle yet cause of no front bumper and the exhaust tone was throaty and sounds so much better than stock as it is not all that quiet and sounds just right. The exhaust weight in at about 44lbs which is about I would say 16 lbs saving over the stock 2 piece exhaust and 2.5" piping compare to the 2" stock exhaust piping so definitely better flow. I just install the rear for test fitment for now to see it clears everything. I have to get another alignment and raise the rear about .5" and run -2 degrees or so to clear the rear fenders. Have to get a photoshoot of car when all things are done. Still waiting for Bride seats and Endless BBK to complete my blue theme and some misc engine treatment. As far as lips kits that is still debatable and last on the list but I 'm still going for the stock looks.

white wheels ftw!!

tsxdriver

That looks sexy! Is that your fit too?

CGPTSX06

yup my daily driver got it a year ago.

Audioserf

Loving the wheels.
Why no front bumper?

undefined.tae

Any more pictures.??? side shots.?! i Like the exhaust. perfect tip size.

spoiledkari

Those wheels are awesome!! They look great!
Who installed the exhaust? You?
What part of PA do you live in? I'm in Southwest PA...Uniontown to be exact.

CGPTSX06

Took it off so that I can go for an alignment.

CGPTSX06

I install the exhaust with the help from a friend can't do it by yourself. I'm from exeter,PA.

CGTSX07

that rear shot is crazy. the lips looks so deep! definitely need more pics!

CGPTSX06

Yeah I will get a complete shot when all things are done. I just test for fitment. I always want the lip and really aggressive I say as you can get to get that fat 3" lip to exact.

Audioserf

You can do a catback by yourself, I did mine last year. You need some help from your floorjack and a block of wood to hold the tubing up, though!

Man i can't wait to see your car man!

godfather2

with the mods you have planned, your tsx is shaping up quite nicely. quick question, u did you go with a staggered setup?

Audioserf

Yes, he's staggered - 17x8.5 in front, 17x9.5 in back...

Baller status, seriously that set-up looks great!

Wow...that's a hell of a wide wheel on the back. Looks like it fills out the wheel well very nicely.

CGPTSX06

I always run staggered setup even with my wedsport it is 8"/9" in rear. I never seen any effect in handling at all but instead it handles like a dream.

CGTSX07

what's the offset of the wheels? i've always thought if we went with wheels > 8" wide they would stick out but i'm thinking its gonna look really good on your ride.

CGPTSX06

+42/+44 in rear

EuRTSX

Looks good dude.

We need to talk soon.

CCColtsicehockey

hey didnt know you were from PA. where about in PA are you from.

CGPTSX06

25 miles out of LANCASTER.

DAYTA

That's probably because it sounds like you haven't run a non-staggered setup in a while. If it's for show, that's cool. However, I can almost guarantee that acceleration and handling with both improve by going with a non-staggered setup.

Still, very sexy wheels indeed .

CCColtsicehockey

cant wait to see fitment of the 17x8.5 +44 in the front. Also what tire size are you running front and back.

CGPTSX06

235/265

CGPTSX06

I ran 8/9" with my previous setup and never felt the difference maybe you are right. As far as accelleration goes the previous setup and the setup now is lighter than the stock wheels/tires.

DAYTA

For acceleration, it's not just about the weight of the wheel/tire combo, though that is a very significant component in acceleration times. The size of the contact patch (i.e. friction) also factors into how quickly you accelerate. With a RWD car, increasing the contact patch of the rear wheels can be beneficial because it adds necessary traction on the driving wheels during acceleration/launches. However, this has the opposite effect on a FWD car as the additional traction from a larger rear tires creates more friction that the driving tires in front must overcome.

those wheels look sick!

CGPTSX06

Here are some pics of the front left wheel install but I haven't install the rest of the wheels as of yet. The wheels looks really flush and definitely fills the wheel well better than the 7.5" wide +50 offset and it is asking for the BBK. The last couple of pics I tried to put the dark grey Wedsport centercap to see how it would look and I kinda like it but I probably have to get the flush centercap and painted white to match the wheels instead of the dome centercap it just going to look cleaner.

looking very nice.
