I want to get the machined silver Inspiron wheels for my SSM TSX. However, I was wondering if they made them in 17" versions, and two, if they do, how much do they cost? If not, then I guess I will just have to step up to the 18x7.5. How much do those cost, and what kind of tire should I outfit them with. I need an all season-high performance tire.

Thanks

I think you mean Inspyre. Here's a good thread for you: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16213

Alright. So it would be $1,000 for four 18x7.5 Inspyre's. Not bad, however I wonder how much tires will cost me. Plus, how much do you think I could get for four OEM wheels and tires with about 1,400 miles on them?

Tires can run you as little as $130 or as high as $300 just depends on your preference and also on other factors; such as all season or summer tires, etc...

for your oem tires and wheels, i've seen some prices as low as $400 on ebay.

good luck

If you're looking for some high performance all seasons, I'd look at the Toyo Proxes 4 in 235/40/18 fitment. Should be about $200/tire.

I second that, the toyos are on my personal car, and i love them, very durable and pretty good grip. not the best looking tire, but very functional.
The tire sizes can vary, 225/40/18 for sport and style (they just look more aggressive with a lower profile) or like Dan said, 235/40/18 for comfort, and OEM overall diameter (to match the stock wheel and tire speedo). Altho I would suggest the T1S from Toyo. those are more of a single purpose wheel, very sticky but may wear out quicker.

Alright, $1,000 for the Inspyre 18's, plus I jsut found the Toyo Proxes 235/40/18's for $159 each with free shipping. Minus my factory wheel and tire money, about $1,236. Hmmm, I wanted to get the OEM inderbody kit first, and then rims and tires, but now I am not sure. Decisions, decisions. I guess I should look into selling my tires first before I do anything.

Get the rims and tires first. It would have an immediate, noticeable improvement in handling. It would also have a more dramatic effect on the look of your car. A body kit changes the look of your car, but not as much as a nice set of rims & tires would. Additionally, when you're behind the wheel, the body kit provides you with no tangible enjoyment (car feels exactly the same) whereas the rims and tires will.
