Slo AP2's 2012 Milano Red SE
Decided to pick up a TSX as a daily so I could garage my S2000. Its not a bad car, still getting used to the differences. 6spd in this is not nearly as nice as the s2, but its not bad either.


S2


Gonna see what the wheels on the s2 look like on the tsx. Just wanna see the type of width that will work. Wheels on the s2 are currently ce28n 17x10+50.

that's two milano reds in one day. nice!

You might like the photoshoot I did with my friend's s2k...he swapped the advans for ce's also. Seems like the ce's are popular among the s2k crowd.

Congrats A Vortexx Blue would have been a good match, but you still made a good choice on the 6MT SE

thanks guys. Haven't decided whether I will mod the tsx or not. May possibly do some coilovers and wheels for now. Just need to figure out what size to go.

It may be a while before I do anything to the tsx, undergoing my turbo project for the s2 right now. I wanna focus on that and get it running right before I start tearing into another car lol.

Congrats on the SE! Love the red.

Crazy, your LBP looks kinda like my LBP back in 2008 with Work XD9's.

So I decided to pick up a set of used wheels for the tsx. I've never wandered into the 19"s category but we'll see how they come out.

unfortunately these by themselves will not be aggressive by any means alone. Will need the help of spacers which don't bother me too much...

How about a couple more shots from other angles? Those wheels look like they should be a good fit for the look of the car.
