Ok guys need your opinion on these wheels:



I will getting the 17X7 and install the sucky stock tires on it for now. This wheels should compliment the black and chrome theme with the car!

IMHO, dont get aftermarket 17's. either go bigger or stay stock. i dont think it would be worth the money to buy aftermarket 17's, but if you want to go for it.

get a least 18 and use stock rims for winter (if you live in area where its snows)
btw rims look good

18's fooooo sure

I know this probably isnt what you want to hear, but, there's no point in getting aftermarket 17's. Your car will honestly look worse. Invest in 18's or 19's if you can. If you need wheels for winter, then great. But if your buying these to try and make your car look BETTER, nu uh, i dont think this is the way to go.

Those wheels will look really small for 17s. 18s all the way

iamitman

I was thinking the opposite, that 18 will look too big and hallow. Since, the inside the wheel and outline of the spokes are both black. Also, the ride with 18s and 1" drop will be real harsh? Car is getting tinted and dropped in next 2 weeks, and at that point decision on the wheels will be made.

why would you want wheels the same size are your stock wheels? i'd save the stock ones for winter tires and slap some summer goodness on the new ones...in 18 or larger.

Here is the other option:



I suppose 18 is what I will go with. I really like 5 split spoke design as you can see the wheels on my previous car:

on white https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ght=Enkei+RAZR

and finally, on black. scroll down https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-2009-2014-143/kowloonsniperhks-progress-thread-812010/

moral of the story. i REALLY want enkei's, but they have to be 18's. NEVER 17's

I wish everyone didn't have enkeis, cause they are my favorite. That's why I'm playing around with my stockies! Wanna be different.

PyroDave

Wonder how much of a drop be good? I was thinking H&R 1.3 all around? Or will 1" be enough? How much can i expect the drop to settle if at all?

ttk5

^ buy my H&R springs!! $140 their yours lol

iamitman

Did you not like the ride with them? Or too little of a drop?

ttk5

Im on coilovers now thats all. If you want to see pics, just look for my thread in the photograph gallery. The springs were great. Perhaps stiffer than the eibach judging by members' reviews, but it is still a very popular spring.

ed_423

i would've went H&R or tein stech if i didnt buy coils. eibachs are great, but the drop is just too minimal

Italiano

in my opinion u should at least drop it 2inches to leave no gap it usually will settle after 3 weeks 1/4 inch...then get it alighned PS..coilovers FTW>>>
