I have a 09' TSX.

and well i really dont know much when it comes to rims. all my cars so far have been stock rims since I didnt mind the stocks much to upgrade. but the wheels on the 09 tsx kind of bug me so I wanna upgrade them.


what brand would you guys recommend thats not too pricy or cheap?

 

Hmmm..."pricey" and "cheap" are relative...what's your budget?

 

500-600 for a set of 17"s


i wanna get new tires to be able to put 18s on but my budget isnt broad.

 

You might have to go used for that. You could try the black market here on azine. Also check out Tire Rack.

 

Try looking for a set of take-offs at your Acura dealer or a local tire store like Discount Tire or eBay.

 

True! I missed-out (2 days late) on a set of Gram Lights at my local dealership--because the guy that bought a used TSX, didn't like them! For free, no less. Not your everyday occurrence, but, ya never know....

 

I would also tell you to get 18"s at least, but for a low budget, yea it's almost impossible because you'd need new tires. Hope you get lucky getting a used set.

 

Also email RonJon. Sometimes he has some leftover on the cheap.

 

Have you guys seen this? http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/home.do they have this thing on their that lets u see the rims on the car of your choice.


i decided im gonna save up to get 18s and some new tires. definitely need new tires, the stock michelins are garbage.


hopefully with about 1,500 i can score some nice 18s and new tires (michelin sport preferably)


ill definitely hit up ronjon too.


thanks for the suggestions

 

^ Tire Rack has the feature as well. Its' pretty helpful, I think.

 

Hey guys, I'm brand new to this.

Just got the 2009 tsx tech package, black on black.

I'd like to get some springs to lower it 1-1.5 inches, as well as put on some 18"s.

How much will springs run me (cost plus installation)? Are there coilovers for the 09 tsx yet?
Are there any good 18 inch rims out there to fit my car once lowered? I know tirerack.com is good, but are there any other places?

 

Springs will run you about $300 and installation at the stealership another $100, 18 inch rims will easily fit on your car.. but will look kind of small. I have 19's and they look kinda tiny on my vehicle. So to go with an 18 you will have more then enough room, i have no wheel rubbage or anything. I'd recommend going with 40 or 45 mm tire though if you go 18 to fill in the void between your fender and the tire. There are a set of " Coil overs" available.. but i'm not sure if they'd actually fit I just went with the ebachi spring set as well as a fe others.. it says the front will go 1.2 and the rear 1 but its more like the rear 1.5 and the front 1.2 ..

Also, my rear camber on my car is now Left : -3.4 Right : -2.5, so you might want to look into getting one of the camber kits at the same time, so when everything sets in ( The springs ) you can go ahead and get that fixed. Here are a few pics of my ride
