So this is what I did today...
Coilovers were already in my garage, the speedshop I ordered my rims from finally got my TSW's in. So I went on in to have everything installed.
Im not crazy about this rim I actually love the design but the fact that it was advertised as a 1.5 inch lip and my wheels have very little lip is bothering the fuck outta me. The tech that installed everything test drove my car after everything was installed and I must say the car looked damn good while it was moving. After he test drove it he told me that the car has a vibration upon acceleration, he also mentioned that the coilovers are going to settle everything is brand new so bushings and such need to settle and decompress(Expected this). Next thing: He said that the car needs a wheel alignment (expected this as well) but then he told me that it looks like I need upper control arms for the rear but when I bring it back for the alignment they are going to see if I can get away with not doing the upper control arms right away. Does this make sense to u guys? So when I drove the car and I do feel that vibration, I also feel every bump on the road now lol (VERY EXPECTED), But the car handles like a damn dream my goodness.
Question for yall is :do you think the speedshop will maybe exchange the back set of rims for something with a lip the front I love but the rear looks like it should have a lip give me your opinions on the rims and how they look on my car all are welcomed. And I know Spacers are needed and Aspec kit, but i think my next mod is gonna be me taking a drive down to Bridgewater to visit bruce for cleared/painted headlights.
Here are the specs
18x8 TSW valencia
235 40R 18 Falken tires
HT Spec V2 coilovers

 

More pics... Sorry this is my first time acutally taking and posting pics of my car so forgive me for the novice like camera work.

 

Unless they really pride themselves on customer service, I'd be surprised if they take them back honestly. TSW won't take the wheels back once they've had tires mounted on them. Did you see the wheels before the tires were mounted on them? I think they look nice BTW.

 

Some more pics... I apologize for the novice camera work Im a first time cameraman.

 

Thanks lude I appreciate it... I didnt see them before they mounted them I was waiting upstairs in the TV area, wish I had seen them tho.

 

I don't think they look bad.. just needs an aspec kit though

 

Thanks Jw... thinking about the Aspec kit dont know if I wanna pull the trigger just yet, wanna raise the car put spacers on.

 

Not sure about the chrome pillars...

Is that 35% tint?

 

Yes those Pillars are coming off!!! Ive had the car for alil under a year now they came with it. Im thinking with the black and silver rims the pillars need to go along with the weathertech door visors that the previous owner F'ed by trying to put crazy glue in the seams to make it stick.

The tint I had done its 20%

 

Congrats on the drop and wheels!

Glad to hear you're getting rid of the chrome pillars

 

HAHAHAHA Thanks man
and its long over due! I think if I have some standby time at work tomorrow Im gonna take them off.
I was just looking at your recent thread, hope all is well.

 

Car is coming along great, I agree with everybody about removing the chrome pillars.

 

Not a fan of the wheels at all.

 

ya im not digging the wheels at all, they look tiny. and absolutely no lip . and not feeling the chrome pillars. looks like you are trying to "stunt" lol

 

I think now you just need the Aspec kit!

 

Yea I know I know the pillars werent my idea they were the previous owners, I just never removed them because I was completely stock and I felt like it made my car different than other SSMs I saw on the road not even that I liked them. The wheels have grown on me but by summers beginning I will have a new set of rear rims 18x9.5 in the same design.

I knoooooooooooooooowwww dude... Aspec will have to wait my next large purchase will be getting these rims right and then Aspec. Your SSM looks good

Thanks boi!!
Wanna black my Grille too

 

I agree... I really don't like any TSW wheels at all.

The drop looks good, I wish I had waited another month to get the V2s. I highly suggest you to replace those weathertech visors and get oem visors. They flow a lot better, but are pricey ($145 shipped)

 

Wheels look good.

Aspec Kit is a good move

So is removing the chrome B pillars.

 

so wait, you didn't check out the wheels before they were mounted on your car?

 

Honestly, the wheels look good. I don't get all the hate on TSW wheels. They make some decent wheels.

+1 on removing the chrome pillars

 

Shark no i didn't... At first I was upstairs n the waiting area and then I got called into work so I left the car there and go picked up. By the time I got back the wheels were already mounted. Stupid me shoulda said something when I saw them but I have to go back mon so they can raise the front some and align everything so I'm gonna talk to them about a different rear rim.

 

Thanks dude. I like the design of the rim. I seen about 4 different tsw rims I'd rock they make a good rim

 

Thanks Steve.
Removing chrome Sunday goop off already ready if that makes sense lol

 

At the rest of all my Azine bretherens...

 

car looks good man, just top it off with aspec kit and itll look flyyyyyyyyyyy

 

Thanks Twis... Yall are all pushing the aspec kit... Slowly slowly pursuading me!!!

 

removing the pillars completely changed the look. it looks really good man.

 

Yay no more chrome pillars!

Looking good bro.

 

Thanks Nut and GTP! What a bitch to remove not so bad until I got to the last damn pillar which decided to F up my day by peeling off the vinyl with it....
I ordered a new 6piece carbonfiber pillar covers.

 

+1

And painting the center caps black

Tein SS

 

Looks good. Glad to see you removed the chrome pillars

 

Take em back to Action Tire! See wat they say if u dont like em... I know u bought them there... U mentioned u were upstairs watching TV

 

The rim as grown on me. I actually love the setup. Lmao action tire howd the hell did u put those pieces together?!?! Well
U are correct, do u get your work done there as well?
And I'm
Going back tomorrow morning so they can raise the car and align everything as best as possible without using camber kits for the moment.

 

<---- Hit the nail on the head huh

Nice atleast u like them... I used to go there bak when I had my 98 accord, havent been there in like 4 years

 

Nice... they seem pretty cool that was my first time ever dealing with them. I ran into Deron Williams of the NJ nets there he has a sick Mazzeradi thing sounds like a airplane.

 

I think it looks good. How about a close up of the rims
