Those are the concave look, but not really concave wheels. The only way to get them concave is 10.5... I always liked the five spoke "clean look". I almoste got Vossen CV3, but then I saw these... I got Nitto's 555's on and so far I like the way they feel. Little heavier then stock 18's(It's FWD Advance). Definitely happy the way they turn out.

I was thinking 9's, but after talking to the guy at the Tire place I changed my mind. Not that much wider, just extra weight. Those are 28 lbs a piece already... Imo they look wide enough.

H&R springs,it retains most of the stock ride but with improved handleing,i was only looking for a mild drop and this suited my purposes quite well
Btw it was driving a 2012 sh with those springs that convinced me to go that route as well

You are right, I'd like to lower it 1-1.5". I'm thinking Tein Basics... The only problems is, that's my daily driver and I don't want sacrifice ride quality...

Your wheels are probably still concave, just not a deep concave. Mine are the same way. I didn't want to put forth the extra effort and $$$ to go with 10.5" wide. Plus with a +35 offset they are perfectly flush. I even had to roll my rear fenders due to the 255 width tires I chose.

No kiddin. I spoke with my Acura parts guy and he told me the same thing. Don't mess with the stock suspension... Sure it looks great, but... He wants to hook me up with the factory underbody spoiler kit - $1500 for everything - installed. Is that a good deal?

I'm not sure if that's a good price or not. I was fortunate enough to get mine at no charge due to some issues I had upon receipt of my CPO.
Bernardi's site has all four pieces totaling $1,300 (excluding shipping), but I feel like I've seen others on here who have gotten it cheaper.
Good luck!

You can get the full kit for around $850 shipped from the sponsors on here. Got mine from Tim.
