For those of you who wondered - AV6 6sp coupe wheels

I remember there were some threads back in the early days of the TSX. Well, for those of you who wondered how the AV6 EX 6sp coupe wheels looks on the TSX, here they are. Today we finally got some sun here in NY, so I finally took the time to mount them on (although only on one side of the car) just to take these pics.

Some of you might not like it, but I kinda like it, turns out even better than I thought, might actually keep them.... looks a lot better than the OEM's... but here they are nevertheless:

















and a RSX A-spec wheel on, just for laughs.... I think it's actually not bad in person, especially if the car is lowered... similar style to some of the other multispoke wheels out there...

yeah, but.... it is



I think you're thinking about the other set that is the same as the TSX A spec's... I think they offered them in different years. The ones I showed are offered on the 02-04, I think...but not sure why they have it in the pic above for the '06

Yeah, I think the RSX wheels gives a more sporty aftermarket look, where as the Accord wheels looks a bit more agressive than the stock 7 spokes, but still look stock enough.

I like the way the accord wheels look too.....but if I had all 3 to choose from I would go with the RSX A-Spec, Accord, TSX.

It's stock... Also I think it's because the suspension isn't fully settled down after I jacked up the car, and the wheel gaps is always more pronounced in pics.... but then again you can say that the TSX looks 4x4 stock, I suppose

the center caps seem to pop out way too much. What wheels I'm actually considering getting are the HFP 18" Honda wheels that you can get on the new Si. I think some dude has a pic of them on a TSX here on this site. They look amazing.

I'm considering the same ones. They look great since they're 18's.

That's because I didn't put them all the way in I just stuck the top half of them in to take the pics so that I don't have to use a flathead to pry them out.... good catch though, I was hoping noone will notice...


The 18" HPF looks nice, I was looking into them before too, but after seeing that pic of it on the TSX, I thought it looked too much like the stock 7 spokes in a graphite color... and I guess the only thing is that, it's only a 7" wheel (?)

I really like the Accord wheels, not feeling the RSX wheels as much. You guys are crazy with your wheel-gap fetishes!

I've had the AV6 on my tsx for about a year now. Most people dont notice that they're not stock; if they do its either love or hate. I really want to get the OEM gunmetal 17's

too bad the OEM A-Specs are actually about 2 lbs heavier than the stock 06 wheels (but 2 lbs lighter than the stock 04-05s...)

I'm actually wondering what they'll look like powder-coated in a light graphite or gun-metal color........ I think they will look pretty good

I think this is affecting my judgement of these rims. they look good, but only as good as stockers can get. They definitely don't look aftermarket.

V6 emblem in red means it's a V6 6sp EX, all the auto's and sedan's comes with a regular chrome V6 badge
