Racing Hart Pro J5 or J8 or Volk Racing GT7's on CG TSX?

Hey guy, I am considering to buy machined Racing Hart Pro J5 or J8 on CG TSX in May. I will plan to get TSX in spring or summer time. I also like Volk Racing GT7's too, They looked good on TSX. But I like Pro better. What do you think?

Why SSR GT7? Do they have 19 inch or not? I want 19 inch on TSX.

I already checked on Tirerack, they offer 18 inch on TSX, but that SSR GT& looks ok to me. I will work on it.

I know which picture of vwong's TSX with VR GT7, they looked great too. I have to think about it and make decision by May. There is a few pictures on website there.

I have to agree with dzuy on the Racing Hart J8 and J5. I don't like them much. I hate the fact that the "face" part of the wheel is flushed with the "rim" part. Just look at the Civic in the link above (I hyperlinked it below). The wheel has pretty big "lip", but the "face" part is flushed with the "rim" part. It doesn't provide that "dish" look. These wheels only look good if they were very low offset combined with wider width. (I hope my description makes sense, )

I chose the Volk GT-7 because the "face" part is slightly deeper than the "rim" part, therefore providing a more of a "dish" look. They don't have a very big "lip", but it's good enough. The "lip" on my GT-7 is approx. 2".

Here is a pic of my car (again, which I don't mind at all )




And here is a pic of that Civic (with the Racing Hart J8) in the link.

BTW, just an observation, but GSGOMEZ is classic. He's been on here since Sept 2003, has planed on buying most everything out there for a TSX, but hasnt pulled the trigger to actually buy a TSX...I guess some people can dream...

Again, just an observation...Not saying its bad or good...

HAHA! Ya, u r correct that I am classic. I want my CG TSX with Euro-r kit and foglamp (pretty soon) from BPT look good with wheel a like Racing Hart or Volk Racing. I think Racing Hart machined J8 and GT7 looks good on CG. Well. I plan to purchase TSX in spring time because I want to buy a several stuffs for TSX before I get TSX.

P.S. I already order Euro-R kit with foglamp from BPT and should get it in a few weeks.

gunmetal wheels look good on a CG, look at dabuda.

and i dont think every rim is ugly besides te37, excuse me for having an opinion on the racing hart j5 and j8's, just b/c i said they're ugly doesn't mean i think every other wheel out there is ugly. what a ridiculous post.

Hey dzuy, I like Racing hart C2's, they looked really nice wheel, I have thought about it that wheel too and wonder if that wheel will look good on CG. So dabuda's TSX looked great too. I will make decision and let you guy know which I will buy wheel.

The website says that the Pro J5s are only available in a +19 or +26 offset. Will that work on a TSX?

Not even close.

The stock wheels are +55. Try to keep it above +45.

That's what I figured. I'm running +42 on 18s with no problems but I wouldn't go much lower.

Hey Dan Martin, remember the Turbo TSX has Racing Hart J5 and J8 wheel, it seems no problem on TSX.

I don't know what Dazz's exact setup was, but +25 offset will not fit

Hey xizor. that's interesting! what is best offset for 19 inch? I plan to get 19x7.5 or 8 inch on tsx. I will work on it and make decision on which wheel I will buy it after I get TSX first. Thanks for advice.

17", 18" or 19" doesn't matter... the offset should be at least +42
