19's, A-Spec Susp., & Spoiler

Last week I had my 19" TSW Mondello's wrapped in 245/35/19 Nitto 555's, A-Spec Suspension, and spoiler installed. I am loving it right now. Representin' the TL'ers in NOVA, HONK if ya see me, peace! Future mods to come AFTER winter.

Looking great bro! Hope you can make it out to the meet this Sat, see this link https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...1&page=1&pp=25. BTW did you get your tires locally or did you have them mounted and balanced before they were sent out to you?

Nice rims, try coming to the meet this weekend.
How do you feel with 19s?

I will be bringing my Anthracite just like yours with stock rims

I'll be at the meet too... I like the stock wheels actually Don't plan to change mine. Might drop the car an inch anyway though.

They were mounted and balanced when they were sent to me. I ordered them from wheelstudio.com. I have to take it back to Acura though, cause when I hit 70mph+ I get a vibration in the steering wheel. Other than that I love riding on 19's. I think next week I am going to get 35% tint all the way around. How long is that meet going on for on Saturday cause I have prior engagement, but I will try and make it. Thanks for the positive feedback!

I know one of the Acura mechanics that used to work at Radley and Pohanka (He's worked at both facilities). Just an FYI (I'm not sure where you're taking your car), although the facilities at Radley are not as nice, apparently the balancing machine at Radely is much better than the one at Pohanka.

Feel free to stay as long or as short as you'd like

Car looks great! Those hyperblack wheels look awesome on AM...that tint will really set it off nicely! What are the "future mods to come AFTER winter"?

They are the hyperblacks. I was hesitant at first, cause I really wanted a silver wheel. I almost got the TSW Catalunya's, my wife actually brought the Mondello's to my attention. I am glad I got the hyperblacks, they look really good with the Anthracite. I want to get the A-spec body kit, the comptech exhaust (just wish I could keep the OEM tips), the rear sway bar (chill recommended), I might do that before winter. I also want to smoke out the lights. I definitely want to eventually get the car to over 300hp. I hear comptech might me be coming out with a supercharger :-). Oh yeah and a new brake set up. Those Mondello's really expose the calipers and rotors, so now I have to make those look hot.

I got all the work done at the Radley in Woodbridge. I have always used them for my previous Volkswagon to both of my Acura's. They are really great over there.

Score one for the little lady! ASPEC kit smoked lights RSB exhaust...you can get a custom set up for a good bit less than CT (search the Parts and Performance subforum)...either way, you could have the stock tips welded on to keep your stock appearance. Supercharger you'll be looking for your next car before that comes out! And good luck with the brake search...most wheels don't clear BBK's (not sure about those)...

Hmmm well I will have to do some research regarding the brakes. I am looking for slotted. I think I will do that have the stock tips welded onto the comptech exhaust, very nice. So no supercharger for awhile huh. Oh well.

The drop with the A-Spec looks perfect on your car. Great Job!

Dude, those wheels are TSW, they need to be installed with HUB CETRICS so that you will not get the vibration. I had the same problem, the acura dealer will not do anything for you...

Welcome to the FAM!!! They Look Sweet!! I got a tint appointment for Friday...i'm going 35% all the way around.

Oh Yeah, Mine don't vibrate at ALL, i got mine installed at NTB right off 495/braddock. There was a box that said "TSW Hardware", i'm unsure what the guys used to install'em, but they ride Smooth!
