I got an 07 tsx with 18's currently on it, Motegi sp10s, but the offset on them are messed up and my tires rub like i said in the previous thread so now...im looking for some new 18's that want rub and want prohibit me from lowering my car.

So im asking for some people to post some rims, please, that look good on the tsx...i know that everyones likes arent the same but its nice to see examples of rims

o and the reason im asking and not looking on my own is because i dont really know which rim will fit on my car and want rub obviously

Lowered to no-1/2 finger gap all around. Runnin 18x7.5 +42 Work Emotion CR Kai's in bronze on 235/40/18 Fuzions. Minor negative camber in the rear, no need for fender rolling or anything for me.

TSX_mike

wow that looks clean as hell love the grill to

TSX_mike

i was thinking about these



but im not sure of what the name is or if it will stop me from lowering im looking for more info now

sortudo7

Thanks for the compliment. Not sure what the rims are, where did you get the pic from? What are the specs of the rims? For 18 I suggest probably running around a 225/40 if you're looking at 18x7.5 or 18x8 size rims.

TSX_mike

i think they are called Work Emotion XT7



hopefully i can find them in gun metal im still searching for other info but it looks like they come in 18x7.5

TSX_mike

Mugen GP Forged Wheel Gun Metallic Finish

TSX_mike

found



i wonder what that will look like with the CGP paint

also



LOVE these!!

carmagnut

All of the ones that you (TSX_Mike) posted are nice and will look good. They will hit your wallet hard as they are for the most part pretty costly. Good luck.

tekneek

18x7.5 +40-48 is very common and safe in terms of rubbing.

i have black rpf1s in 18x7.5 +48 w/5mm spacers all around. front is pretty flush but the rear is not.

TSX_mike

ha thanks man i hope i can find a good deal on one of them

alex.alm

Those Mugen NRs look great, but they are way expensive. If you can spend it also check out the Advan Kreuzer Series X or OZ Alleggerita HLT.

TSX_mike

ok so now that i got some ideas of what will fit what is a good site to buy from are there any vendors on acurazine that sell rims?? or is there another site thats better??

alex.alm

I've always had great experience with The Tire Rack. http://www.tirerack.com

TSX_mike

yikes the Volk TE37 cost 720$ each wow you werent lieing carmagnut...anyone know some rims similar to those....o tirerack doesnt have any work emotion i really like those!

carmagnut

TSX_mike

Pretty aggressive but would look too sexy

TSX_mike

those want fit though i would be in the same boat that im in now 18x8.5 and 18x9.5...or would they???

TSX_mike

i found these



i think they are sexy as hell and they are affordable but i have no idea if they will fit

heres the link http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...eelmodel=Motiv it has all the sizes i would like 18's but i dont know which ones want rub...anyone else know?

Jimmy The Saint

18 inch OZ Ultraleggeras. Absolute Sex.

sortudo7

I agree

They will with the proper fender mods. Chefpeter has a sick and aggressive setup that looks beautiful with a fender roll and pull. I think he is on this forum too, saw his new pics on the other forum and looks great.

TSX_mike

very very sexy thank you for finding them but i still have stock brake rotors and stuff i fear it will take away from the way the rim looks and turn it into an eye sore..if anyone can show me a tsx with these one there that would be good!!

how much would all those fender mods and stuff cost?

one more thing i live in mississippi there are little to no car mod shops here ...majority of the people here like to buy trucks and put 2 foot lifts on them and say yehaw...no offense if anyones into that ha

TSX_mike

also do they all bulge out like this



if they do im sold rotors or not

TSX_mike

these are nice to



what offset will fit on the tsx and not rub??

grenas17

^^
Depends on the size and width.

I ran 18x8 +45 for a while with a nice drop and never rubbed once.

I am now in 18x7.5 +40 and don't rub one bit.

What size are you thinking of?

grenas17

Here are some pics of my car with some 18 inch OZ Ultraleggeras in black...




As you can see, they dont really bulge or or concave in, they are pretty much straight.

TSX_mike

i want 18's that i wouldnt have to do any fender mods with...i would prefer 18x7.5 just so i know they want rub but so far all the ones i have found are out ragously expensive like your volks....love them!!

TSX_mike

o and what brake setup is that they are freaking sexy

TSX_mike

found these kinda a nice repilca of the volk te37 and a hell of alot cheaper



wish the spokes were a little wider though or had a 6th spoke

wong05tsx

iTrader: (6)

that looks nothing like the te37's

it says "Endless" on his brakes...

sortudo7

+1. The TE's look better but those rims aren't too bad. Endless BBK are total sex!

TSX_mike

lol now that i look a little closer it really doesnt look the same i guess the spoke design is the only similar thing and its just barely similar...

and are endless BBKs any good i know nothing about brakes or suspensions so details FTW thanks!

TSX_mike

found these 2 also dont look to bad

grenas17

Endless BBK's are really good. They stop on a penny Its a 6pot system with an inch bigger rotor and endless brake lines.

Here is a picture of how 18x7.5 VOlk LE37's (same as TE37's, just got a polished lip) look...

Here is a picture I found with the rims on a black TSX...


I think the rims are pretty nice. They look similar to my Advans, well the spoke design does.

What is your price budget for rims?

Also, safe offsets for no rubbing on a 7.5 width would be anywhere from +55-+40. But if you decide to get a BBK, you have to be real cautious of your offset.

TSX_mike

well i have no idea on what i should even start looking for when it comes to buying brakes...do they come in kits or do i need to buy it all seperate?? ha sorry for my ignorance

grenas17

The only main problem that comes with buying a BBK, is the price. Depending on which brand you get, the price can be anywhere from a few hundred bucks, to $4,000.

They all perform relatively the same, it just depends on what you are going for with them. I went with Endless because they perform awesome and have a ver nice rare JDM factor to them.

Other brands such as Rotora, Stoptech, Project Mu, J's Racing, all perform the same but all have different price tags.

BBK stands for Big Brake Kit, which means that it comes with a whole new set-up, so you just buy the kit and install it, and then put in some fluid in and your good to go.

TSX_mike

thank you for the detail i will check more into the other brands...Endless was running for 4k ha so now i still need to find me some rims that are affordable and look good

TSX_mike

o and which should be first suspension?? or brakes?? my brakes now are still in good condition just OEM...and what about suspensions do they come in kits or do you have to buy everything seperatly? and if you do what would you buy?? i was thinking about the N+...sorry so many questions

o and prolly wanna drop about 2 inches

grenas17

Definitely do suspension first, it makes a huge difference in performance and aesthetics.

Suspension usually comes in a full kit if you coilovers. If you buy chocks, then you need to buy springs. I recommend buying coilovers, they allow you to adjust the height to your preference.

The N+ are good from what I have heard/ read. The are tolerable in daily driving and can slam your car. If you bought them, you would just swap them out with your existing suspension, and I believe they come with top hats so you dont need to reuse your old ones.
