You might've just redeemed yourself..

One recommendation though.. I wouldn't place the wheels on the ground like that. I would hate to scratch up freshly powdercoated wheels on concrete whether if it's the back or not.

How much did you pay again to get the wheels fixed?

I know. They're safely stored now. I just set them down gently to snap the picture when I picked them up. I was quoted $600 total for the repair/refinish. I'm pretty satisfied.


I'm unsure of what color stickers would look good on them though.

Wow that's around $1100 for basically new TE37s, assuming you got the wheels for ~$500 like you said earlier. What a deal.

I know! That's exactly why I tackled this project. In the end I can always double my money if I chose to sell them. I only payed $400 for the wheels so I'm about $1000 into them.

Looks like a mercury/formula silver type finish to me... classy.

I had to highlight your post to see if there were any hidden J/K's in there.







There weren't.

They are all finished! But my weekend was so hectic, I didn't have a chance to grab them on Saturday & they were closed on Sunday.

I get off of work early tomorrow so hopefully they'll be in my posession & I can snap some pics.

Ordering my coils this weekend! Still a bit undecisive, but leaning towards BC Racing. Their option of custom spring rates at no extra cost is what's appealing to me.. because I have about ~200lbs of music equipment in my trunk and I don't think the 5k/6k springs all other coils offer will cut it.

No full pics until suspension is installed and they're on the car.

Yeah I was going to do Mag Blue but I decided to play it safe & go with a neutral finish for now to see how it looks. I think the full polish will look good with all the chrome accents the TSX has. And if I don't like it, I can always powdercoat them in the future.
