Post pictures of your ILX with aftermarket wheels!
 
I know there are alot of threads on what would look good, what would fit etc!
But besides Slammed ILX does anyone else have new shoes on?

Spring/Summer is coming up and its shopping time! Maybe this thread can help people make a decision.

I'm personally looking for either
Volk RE 30's
Weds Sport TC105N
Gram Lights 57G
Work Emotion 11R

at least 18x9!

Anyways Post pictures up of your ILX!!
Also include
Size, width and offset:
Tire Size:
Fender Modification:
Lowered? With What? and how much of a drop?:

Thanks!
Simon

why such big wheels on our cars? then again, i was never into the whole hellaflush movement.

I'm going to be getting some 17x8 with 225/45/17 or 235/40/17 (depending on fender issues). more meat! debating between a several different Volks and SSR's.

Trentimus 02-14-2013 07:54 PM

The only wheel I like on our cars is TE37s and they don't concave without needing to roll fenders.. And I am not doing it. Will be stock for a while.. I really would get something like 18x9.5+22 if it wouldn't require a fender roll once I drop it.

tech2332 05-03-2013 07:05 AM

Nice!! Drop will really set it off right, can't wait to see :thumbsup:

Trentimus 05-03-2013 07:52 AM

18 is definitely the right size for this car.

spdandpwr 05-03-2013 08:45 AM

18s are perf...and, to be honest, it doesn't look that bad on stock height...only thing is I'd get thinner wheels (like 8") and run 235s

spdandpwr 05-03-2013 08:46 AM

^the comment was to say for my car I'm going to do that, because I want a wider tire and I'm not a big fan of wider wheels, because it may create issues with rubbing / clearance.

fjreyes17 05-03-2013 09:07 AM

Ekei EKM3. 18x8 45 offset Gunmetal, Stock Suspention. :rolleyes: im new to the forums but ill post a picture soon.

I was running 17x9's on my car with rpf1's. I'm debating if I want to go 9.5 or 10 wide. Trying to find a clean set of BBS rs or ssr spR's in 18's are harder then I anticipated /:

Those will look sweet! Can't wait to see the wide combo. I'd go 9.5 so you can get a 245-255 tire. I think 10 is too wide for the car.

usdmJON 05-04-2013 01:06 PM

No more pictures of wheels already mounted? CE28s looks great. 18s do looks good but now Im thinking 19s can be pulled off pretty easier.

Maybe Ill go 18 for now, 8.5 sounds good. Maybe less offset. Then in the future when she's bagged Ill go 19, hopefully own the car by then, and get those wheel wells lookin sexy as fawk.

Yeah, 9.5 seems about right. I'm planning on doing a minor tire stretch just so I can tuck the wheels a little. So 235-245 will be perfect.

SlaammedILX 05-05-2013 01:32 AM

Worst tire size ever but can't complain about free tires.

Switt23 05-07-2013 09:33 PM

So there is a guy selling a set of 19" ROH Fury wheels for $700 with tires. 245/35/19s.

http://images.craigslist.org/3E63Nd3...8dc96c143c.jpg

Do you guys think these will look good on the car? Mind you Coilovers are on order with RedShift so the car will be lowered a little.

Trentimus 05-07-2013 09:55 PM

I am kind of iffy on the spoke design personally. For a car like this I like a bit more spokes or a larger design of spoke

07Acuradude 05-08-2013 10:18 AM

The Ron Jon website has a sweet pic of a black ILX with lip kit and some 19s. Looks beautiful.

Switt23 05-08-2013 10:25 AM

Yeah, I decided to move on past those.. with 245 series tires and my car being lowered its going to rub like crazy.

tech2332 05-08-2013 10:30 AM

I don't think those ROH Fury wheels will look good. I like the idea of 5 spoke design wheels like CV3s or Stance Sc-5 on this car though

Switt23 05-08-2013 10:31 AM

I do as well.. I'm just not sure how ready I am to drop $2000 on wheels and tires.

jiggaman 05-08-2013 11:01 AM

Not many have wheels yet.

4cruizn 05-08-2013 01:33 PM

19" x 7.5" Racing Hart C2, Diamond Cut 3-Piece

I only installed one of them (they're for my Legend). They need new tires but I think they might look nice.

Trentimus 05-08-2013 01:42 PM

Tyson, those look really sharp on your silver! I say install them!

True. It's hard to find a nice 5 spoke design under 1500.


Wow 4cruizn those are 19's? Looks good. My vision for my car is to have that matte silver machined look with the rims. I think it'll go great with the car color. Kinda like this Lexus is250

Switt23 05-09-2013 08:15 PM

So I've got a guy that's somewhat local that's got a set of wheels for pretty good price...

http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q740/jdmfanbrat/6.jpg

How do you guys feel these will look. Probably going to change the lugs to a different color though :)

I actually think those will look good on our car. I'm looking at a similar style but with more concavity (if that's the right word) Here's a pic with an acura on similar wheels http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...033/shoot6.jpg

While I was at the dealership today to fix my "Emission system problem" The parts guy was boasting about one of their customer's ILX's. Saying how they dropped it and put some wheels. So I had to take a look of course. Sorry, I only have two working pictures because it was super sunny outside, and I couldn't tell which pictures came out clear. (Samsung Galaxy SII) Haven't seen anyone rock the Blue Pearl this hard before. Looked great.

Why's there a huge acura badge on the front windshield? Also looks like he has the front spoiler but no sideskirt, wonder how that looks. Like how the wheels are color matched.

pdpgps 05-10-2013 09:49 AM

What size are those tires? I can't really read the tire info...235/45/17?

rockstar143 05-10-2013 09:54 AM

I don't like the look...personally.

The acura banner is just for looks. Normally it is for the race team's logo. Check out Honda Verno or Spoon Sports.

Not color matched. Not pearl like the poster said either.
That is Mag Blue. Very popular in the honda/acura world. It is special order from Volk. I wanted some Mag Blue REs so bad for the integra... now I want them for the ilx... just in 18 instead of 16. lol

im excited for your build thread!!!

Trentimus 05-16-2013 10:48 PM

I def think 18 is the best blend of looks and performance for our cars!
