Here is the place I went to http://www.lipcollision.com/. There service was top notch and they didn't crack the paint and it still hasn't cracked to this day and that was 2-3 years ago since I had it done.

Yeah there are so many wheels companies out there to choose from with awesome wheels but I can understand wanting to use the same brand after an awesome experience.

Wouldnt do work Wheels in jersey unless you get them rebarreled. If not you will be riding on square Wheels. Works are really weak and bend easy. I will never make that mistake again.

So you're finally getting some mods beyond light bulbs and Plastidip. Your balls have officially dropped, well at least not until these "custom rims" are on. I kid.

Screw you!!!! I took out the resonator! =( hahaha I love my "mods". I'm 18, and this is a lease. If it wasn't, I would have cleared my headlights by now, but for now I pay 30K a year for school, plus I pay for the car, so not much to sink into mods =(

^ This is why I come back to Azine where members are more easy going. People are so sensitive on the other forums and get butt hurt easily.

Are you sure you had real Work wheels? I have never heard someone complain about their quality. My friend lives in New York where the roads are even worse than Jersey and he has never had one break.

I traded it in. I was upside down on the payments. The top model is nice, yeah. But mine was cloth interior AUTOTRAGIC. Not a good time.

Well, you are definitely a rarity... Anytime, I do a modestly expensive mod on my car, I have to be prepared to cough a pair of Louboutins for the wife. I don't mind it so much as it makes for some nice eye candy as well

Are you kidding me?! We get butt hurt?! Seriously dude, seriously?! How dare you say something like that! On what information do you base this assumption? That was totally uncalled for....

Staying on topic:
OP- congrats on the new ride; hope to see some new mods soon; have you looked into the Spoiler Kit & I think even a subtle drop would do real nice on a White TSX.



P.S : ^what i really mean to say is: please please please drop it!

I had work varianza t1s and they sucked. The worst set of Wheels ive ever owned. Spent more time repairing The dents then enjoying them. Then i read of people rebarreling them so they have stronger lips.

Thank you! I do like the lip kit. I haven't ventured to see how much it costs, and I probably don't want to know, lol. And don't worry I am definitely dropping it. I just want to take the time to research the suspension that I will be happiest with.

Unless you're looking at coil overs, shoot a PM to HeavyDuty. He sold his TSX and has a set of brand new-in-box Eibach springs for sale. 1" drop front and rear.

Eibachs would be a good choice if you want something subtle.

Forget springs.. Go with the Megan EZ coilcovers (~$600 plus s&h). Easy to install and plenty of adjustability for height and ride comfort.

I will never do springs again. No offense to anyone who has them, but they killed the ride in my accord. Also, I'd like to go about two inches lower.

I think I would go with the Tein Super Streets. I want the most comfortable ride possible. I don't want to cheap out.

SO.. I was bored

Decided to try to throw the Vossens on just for the hell of it, to see how the width in the back would be. Not sure what to do. I love the wheels, although I would love 19s, but I really hate to buy more at this time with everything I have going on.

Pictures are crappy because it's night time. But..thoughts?

Yes, holy 4x4. I'm just trying to visualize it two inches lower on this...







Decisions decisions...

If you guys know anyone that is SUCCESSFULLY pulling of 20x10.5 in the rear with about a 2 inch drop please let me know. I am on the fence about selling these now.

Well I cambered my Accord anyway. I had the SPC camber kit but it was rendered useless because I couldn't sit them up straight without smacking the fender. I just want to be able to keep the toe in spec. That's what's most important. I'll go through tires. I'm used to that.

Coming from Tein SS, the EX are surprisingly good. Comfy ride and quiet unlike the Tein SS which can go clankity clank sometimes...

I would honestly like to ride around in cars with different suspensions to get a feel. Maybe when it gets warmer out I'll kidnap a bunch of people with 2nd gen TSXs and make them drive me around.

Why dont you and your man throw that 20x10.5 rim in The trunk and take a trip to The bronx so you can try it on my tsx. Im like 2.5” and i believe it will fit but only negative camber.
