I'm sure you'll eventually see 20's but man will it kill the ride and cornering with that much unsprung weight and so little sidewall deflection.

Actually the owner of Jackson Acura in ATL has a White 4G with black 20" wheels, actually looks really good. If I happen to be there when he is around I'll try and get a few snaps. Also the partner has a Black 4G TL with Black wheels and the beak painted balck and th ecar looks really awesome. Painting the grill on the dark color cars really transforms the car into an awesome looking vehicle.

Keith, what black rims did he have on the Black TL? I'd love to see those pics... Black on black was my concept when I originally visioned the car in my garage, but I'm losing interest as I can't find something I like?

I don't recall I'll try and swing by this weekend and snap a few pics.

Dang the TSX looks good, especially in person. If I were 10 yrs younger, that would be my ride for sure.

Excellent pics, thank you. I finally get to see a black FWD with nice rims, it's still not doing it for my car, but nice! The splash guards are needed on both cars. The Red Basque looks better than the Black? Odd. Are those really 20's? There's so much room in the wheel well? Ah, those must be base FWD, no tails with camera?

Exactly what I was thinking. Is the AWD any lower then the FWD ?

Wow! I'm shocked and glad to see these pics! Thanks again Mugen_Kid. Do you know what the profile is on those 20's on the Black Pearl? They look like 35's, with that much clearance you could put on 45's for a smoother ride?

No problem, I will check all the wheel and tire specs when I get back into work tomorrow. For the time being here is a quick photoshop for you.

The AWD model is listed with less ground clearance than the FWD. I'm guessing with the added weight of the AWD system, it's a little bit lower.

Do you have any with an offset? with the rear wheel wider than the front?

Thanks for the photo chop, it's appreciated! I see the lower, and the rims now look gun metalish. Nice.
