i know a lot of you guys may not like white on cg but damn i love these wheels. these aren't my set but i will be gettin a set within a couple weeks. here's a couple of pictures with the 17x8/9 rega's on. i'll take more pictures when i get my set of 17x7/8 on.

Looks Unique, the look kind of grows on you.

Interesting.

Reminds me of Australia Supercars. Only thing I don't approve of is the staggered setup. If this was a RWD, then I'd be down with it.

Even with a FWD car, though, I can still see the wider wheel + tire logically helping with handling. If anything, it certainly won't HURT handling... will it?

As for the wheels, I'm not really mad about the color but the wheels and stagger looks hot.

Staggered setup with a wider rear tire will result in greater grip in the rear which will cause understeer, which is precisely what most tuners try to dial out of a FWD car.

However, running a staggered setup without running a wider tire on the rear looks funny because a wider rear wheel with a tiny little tire on it looks goofy too.

Better off just not doing it, IMO.

Man that looks nice, I like the look

What are the tire sizes?

Looks great, but I agree about the oddity of a staggered setup on a FWD car.

CCColtsicehockey

boooo, stretched tires FTW!!! just not on race style wheels.

CCColtsicehockey

Love the look man. makes me realize that 17s without a polished lip dont look to small as long as the car is really low.

drunkenbuda

DAmn, that is hot! Give us some information on the wheels + tires bro.

HaPPy jU1cE

these wheels are 17x8/9 with a +45 offset. those tires right now i believe are advan neova's 235/40/17 and 255/40/17. there is some slight rubbing i the back even though i do have my rear fenders rolled. but with these wheels i believe all i would need to make them fit nicely are some stretched tires. probably a 245 would probably do the job.

HaPPy jU1cE

thanks colts. yea the all white really makes the wheel seem larger than is really is. comparing these to my ssr's with the step lip, they almost look the same size to me.

daicacharco

how much did you drop your caR?

CCColtsicehockey

I was wondering if you had your fenders rolled. Cause I get a little rub and I have 225 on a 9 wide and you have a 245. I could probably run almost perfect camber if I rolled my fenders then. also since you rolled your fenders did you removed he plastic piece from inside your fender then. if so what do you use to prevent your tires from shooting rocks into your fenders and denting them.

that is why I am going to order the 18's

I love this pic



You have good taste man.

HaPPy jU1cE

haha thanks man.

CCColtsicehockey

lip wheels 19 FTW! no lip 17 and slammed FTW!

TSX420J

You forgot 18's lip slammed FTUniverse!! J/K

HaPPy jU1cE

i dont think i'll ever daily a set of 19's again after having these wheels. they're so damn light.

CCColtsicehockey

haha. I need advan rg's.

looks nice man!!!!
Hoping my TL gets a similar look with a drop and stock rim size 17x8
trying a get a rim around 15 to 18 lbs

HaPPy jU1cE

these wheels are about 15-17 lbs. you should pick up a set

CCColtsicehockey

any help would be appreciated. just curious what your setup is.

HaPPy jU1cE

no all the plastic is still there actually. i think the place that did my rolling just rolled the metal over the plastic

CCColtsicehockey

sweet. if you could double check and let me knwo if they just pinched the plastic in the rolled metal that would be awesome. cause if thats the case then I am going to have mine rolled. I just dont want the plastic flapping around.

silkk8482

I am feeling the whip. Keep it up pimp.

SimpleWhite

you car looks like a one of those sprint race cars with those wheels. I actually like how they look. And I think your the first with white wheels on a CGP tsx.

lito

sweet looking combo

HaPPy jU1cE

yea not too many people were fond of the idea of white wheels when i mentioned it before. hopefully this will change some minds. thanks for the positive feedback

CCColtsicehockey

I definitely have to say I was one of those people in the beginning and I still dont think white wheels would look good if they were the SSRs with the polished lip. However all white looks really good in a 5 spoke design on the car and maybe someday I will have to pick up a set of them. My next set thats been brewing in my mind is first though.

HaPPy jU1cE

what set would that be? haha. i'm pretty sure you're not gonna let it out but it doesnt hurt to ask. i'll check the fenders for you in the morning.

daicacharco

how much did you drop your car ??

would you happen to have any connection with cackywheels.com?

ur car looks beautiful meng! i was gona get a set as well but im not too sure how it would look on ssm...

A Cake On

I don't mind the white, but the car sure looks like it belongs on the track. Some blackout tape and/or chrome deleting would be in order to make the look blend.

HaPPy jU1cE

i actually like the chrome accents on the car. kind of gives the cg a ligther look to match the light color wheels

CCColtsicehockey

are there anymore sites like this and along with takumi project and memory fab that sell jdm wheels. Still cant find anyone that has the wheels I want.
