I don't like those rims that much. I would say grab a OEM body kit fast because Honda no longer produces them, shortage coming soon. Hate to be in an accident because you'll be screwed soon.

After having the bodykit with the stock wheels for 3 years, I kinda wished I did it the other way around. Then again, unless it was lightweight 18x8 wheels with 235/40-18 tires, then I'd get a bodykit.

I was going to say bodkit, but once I saw thoes wheels.....DAMN!! get thoes fast b4 I do...... kind of a wierd question - spend $1000 on a body kit OR 2500 on wheels - if you have the ability to spend the later ammount - I would, it will make such a difference.
BUT, if you get the rims you will be budgeting for the bodykit next month, if you got the bodykit you might be able to hold out with modding for a few months. A car with a bodykit looks nice - a car lowered with a bodykit looks amazing - but a stock TL (or Type-s) will look a little out of place without a bodykit, without being lowered, but having 3 grand in shoes on the car. ( not ugly at all, not what I'm saying, just a little out of ballance)
I would go for the rims but I think you will be looking to get the kit and lower ASAP with rims on. If you went with the bodykit, you could take your time with the building proceess (modding process)

Wheels and springs. Dont worry about the body kit right now, even if you couldent get an OEM kit down the road, theres still the wings west kit like i want. Most of us cant use the OEM kit anyway because if you have mudguards they scratch the car so when you take them off to add the skirts you have huge paint damage, while the wings west kit covers it up!

Rims are nice, but get the OEM kit and drop it now. I love the look of a lowered typeS with a kit and stock rims. Then save up and get the rims.

I'd say the wheels.......but if your willing to drop that much money I'd get some CT Headers and an Icebox.....seeing as you have sways and springs already

Hmmm..to be honest, this car is already fast enough for me. I can't imagine more power to a FWD car being useful other than at the top end which I seldom push.
I'm going for distinctive looks now. I wasn't necessarily married to those particular wheels, in fact I've found some Lowenhart BR5 replica's in hyper silver that I might look at and/or some Mille Miglia HT3 or something like that.
Thanks for the info...still deciding.

personally I think the body kit. It makes the car look sportier and gives it a whole different look. Wheels look great but I think wheels without a body kit doesn't look at good as a kit with stocks.
