New shoes are on :)

I finally ordered and mounted my new wheels/tires and I'm stoked. I know that some of will say to lower it, and I had ordered Eibachs from Amazon but sent them back. After putting the wheels on, I decided not to drop the car. Enjoy the pics!

Stock



Upgraded





The wheels are 19 x 8.5 +35 with 245/40/19 Hankook Ventus EVO's. Cheers everyone!

Although dropping it would do wonders for appearance, I think yours looks fine without it. The wheels aren't super flashy and you aren't trying to be something you're not. I hope you stick around and do more mods!

Very clean!! My rj's are do to arrive this week and I believe I'm going to forgo the drop as well. Your wheels appear to fill the wells nicely.

nice, would it be possible to you to take a photo from the perfect front or perfect top to see if the front wheel is sticking out? Thanks!

Looks sharp. Noticed you still have Acura center caps on?

Look good, but I'm anal about keeping the wheels clean, and those would be way too much work.

Thanks for your compliments and comments

@Misterg12 That's exactly the look I was going for- clean. I've had Eibachs on two of my previous vehicles (my GTO below is one) but I like the way the TSX sits without them



@HHCZ Here you go below. You were right in a previous post that they are slightly past "flush"- 1/3 inch past actually. That bothered me for about 60 seconds after I mounted them but I quickly got over it and love em






@NBP04TL4ME Yes I swapped them out, the Acura caps match the wheels perfectly and I like keeping a clean look

That actually looks okay for not having a drop.

The TSX must be the completely opposite driving experience from the GTO.

Sorry, hadn't been on here in a while. They are Eurotek U02 wheels 19x8.5 +35. I was at the point where I was annoyed with the stockies every time I looked at my car and now it's the opposite, I check the wheels out every time now

@puppetmaster Yeah just a bit different the GTO was a 6 spd with intake/full exhaust, super fun car to drive. Now that I'm a dad and drive my car daily for work the TSX is perfect

I traded in the TSX for a 2014 SH-AWD TL last week (absolutely LOVE the TL btw) so I have these wheels for sale. I researched getting the wheels redrilled, looked at adapters, and even thought about buying 5x114.3 hubs for the TL but at the end of the day I'll just sell these wheels. See my thread below. Thanks!

I want to remind the TSX'ers here that I've got these wheels/tires for sale for $1495. I've had lots of interest but all from 3G TL guys. Email or PM me if interested. Thanks!
