Newbie Right into my small build

Hey guys I'm a newbie here. sorta been Lurrrrrrkin the past 2 weeks. my 8th gen was recently smashed up and wrote off so I did a little upgrading to a beautiful 09 TSX premium 6spd. for my new daily.

Day one. bought it off a friend coils with the car. sitting on HSD mono tube coilovers.

week later Vinyl wrapped roof and antenna and since my S2K is still in storage got the itch and through on my VSXX wheels for the mean time! till my wheels come in 2 more weeks!

these VSXX are 18x10 +33 with 225/35/18's on them. TONS of room to get lower or bigger tire for anyone wondering!! 18's a bit too small for my taste on this car though.

enjoy some photos!! heres the TSX, my S , and my recently written off 8th gen.








ENJOY!!

step lip 19's would be gorgeous but the wheels on it now look good just a roll and extreme low will make the 18s be perfect good job on the stance man

Love the setup on the car, I've got the same kit, same PWP ... thinking about ditching my 08 A-Spec wheels and getting Vossen CV3s as well. Love it. Did they fit with no problems??

yup, didnt roll fender or anything. and the natural camber from lowering it like 3'' was more then enough for clearance all round. no rubbing anywhere. its PERFECT.
