Interersting optical effect on that rim!

Will look good when they are on.

I know what you mean re not touching the car.. I tell myself to keep resisting the urge but it's hard!

I just order a set of those 19 inch rdx wheels off ebay for $500. They are SO much cheaper than the 18 inch wheels from the dealer. Can't wait to get them and get them mounted. Anyone have a suggestion on a nice matching tire?

i can't believe Acura is selling 19 inch OEM rims for that price. These are purchased from an Acura dealer.

depends on the dealership, I personally had my lowering springs ( before the coil overs ) installed at the dealership, and he said they will still warrant the stock equipment just not the springs them self. I highly doubt you'll need a warranty on shocks or springs though you'll end up switching out the entire suspension as it is.

yeah, i think there policy though is if you have it done at the dealer.. and i like to do work myself so that would bother me.. i hate people touching my car... unless its warranty and i'm getting it done for free with no choice.

i'll look into it a little more but doubt i'll do coils at this point, been there done that, not looking for super low anymore just flush and still nice daily ride.

those 19 inch rim look kick a##. I have a grigio gray tsx and ordered those rims yesterday. Your pic makes me feel good about that decision.

I saw a silver TSX with the OEM body kit and optional wheels (which look same as yours) at the bank today and I have to say they look much better in person than in pictures. I was pleasantly surprised

i'm ordering eibach 1" springs some time soon.. i just want a nice conservative drop to look a little nicer.. then come spring color matched grill and lip spoiler and pretty sure that will end modding this car because time will come to pick up another car or bike on the side.

after tax and tire tax fees they were $851 from a local shop.
i could have paid $814 from another shop but i wanted them mounted same day and didnt want to wait.

tire rack was about 192 a piece for them after shipping but then it would have been about another 90 to mount / balance them, i've come to realize tire rack isnt an amazing deal since most placed mount / balance the tires for free when bought through them.
