Didn't want to clutter pix with specs so here they are:

Specs
-------------------------
Racing Hart C4 1-piece: 18 X 7.5" +42mm offset
Nitto NT-555 225/40/18
Neuspeed Sport Springs: 1.5F/1.0R
http://www.neuspeed.com/products/pro...port&p_id=1747

Cost
--------------------------
C4 w/nitto: $1450
Neuspeed springs: $150 + $90(install)

Impressions
---------------------------
- Handling improved a lot, less bodyroll. It takes sharp turns like my prelude but better.
- Ride is def stiffer, the bumps feel sharper.
- Rear wheels are slightly tilted in, going to let it settle for 2 weeks then get a alignment...the autoshop said there should be no need to get a camber kit, hopefully they're right

Nice looking car.

Although those wheels make the stock brake discs look so small!

Nice choice on the rims, looks great. What type of tint did you put all around? Is that 35 or 50 on the driver's door?

This just proves that BBS-style wheels do good look great on our cars. This is one of the best TSX's I've seen out there. Great job!!

If I wasnt leasing mine, I'd have to do something very similar.

Hey I checked on website a while ago, but website was not working. SO, you can go to www.goggle.com and typing racing hart wheels. Look for Dazzmotors-wheels, they have racing hart wheels there.

Ah... I was going to the Japanese site and looking there.

Thanks. I'm still on my quest. I want some new tires so bad but I want the rims to go with them.

Coo, I understand that you really want to buy those wheels with tires so badly. Same thing as me, I can't wait to get CG TSX with 18 inch wheels someday soon. It take times. I probably will get that car with wheels/tires in 2004 late. I wonder if you find website that I gave to you? I hope everything went well for you, Thanks, bro.

Talking Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks for all the positive feedback! yeah, the stock brakes look kinda small and they suck so i guess it's time to get big pads/brake kit...it never ends

EDIT: here's the link to the wheels... http://www.racinghart.com/wheels_rac.asp

Nice. Are those springs designed to work w/ the stock struts? Either way u might want to look into some struts.

just tint the windows yourself. i did my car. 1st time i ever tried tinting, the rear window is a bitch, but i'd say the car came out pretty nice, and it only cost me like $35. just some tips, do it inside in a well lit garage. i did mine on the street and i got dust and dirt on the tint, which is now sandwiched between the glass. it was windy that day

That's quite a savings, but I'm pretty certain I wouldn't do a good job.
