17x7.5 5/114.3 konig hot swap rims
Hey all new here just got my tsx a few months back and want to buy some rims, but beforehand would like to know a few things:
1) is $320 for all 4 rims, brand new, shiping/lugs etc included the cheapest I'll find?
2) will these rims fit my stock michellins (base version)
3) how much is it to get my old rims off, transfer tires onto the new rims, and install/rotate and balance them?
Finally my last question is how much it'll cost to repair a dent in my rear, I'm going to go to some bodyshops today to see some prices. I'd just like to make sure I don't get ripped off.
09 gm base at
Headlight/tailight tinted
All around tints (front windshield included) 20%

Hey welcome to the forums!
1) Yes that that is incredibly cheap if the price includes shipping and lugnuts...very cheap.
2) They should fit your stock michelins
3) My local shop has 5$/each for tire removal and 20$ each for mounting and balancing a 17"
Before you go through with this though, I'd advice you to look around the tires/wheel/suspension section more thoroughly. If you plan on seriously modding your car, you will find you need to go ATLEAST 18" rims, but 19" is ideal. Our cars are very large and 17's are just too small unless you are trying to keep a stock look. As konig's are not OEM rims but aftermarket rims, im thinking 17"s will not give it a stock look but it wont give it a sporty look either. I'd advice against getting these rims no matter how cheap they are. If you really like them its up to you and ill totally respect your decision. good luck to you and keep up posted. Here is a pic of our car with I think 17" wheels on...could be 16" lol??

I agree. 17" wheels are just way too small. Its almost a crime that Honda put 17's on from the factory. The fender flares are so massive, they make 17's look like training wheels.

I totally agree, fact is the only reason Im going with 17's is because 18's+new tires+mounting etc... Will blow my budget, I just want to avoid buying new tires which is pricey, and it's a lease so spending a ton on wheels would be stupid. I'm buying the wheels from discounttiresdirect.com you guys know if they're credible/reliable because 320 seems like a scam almost.
