A little too meaty on the tires but ride quality must be great.Would look better lowered.Overall looks good.

supernick37 · 05-02-08, 12:04 AM

its a debacle, do i lower it with K-sports, or do i just replace the factory struts and keep the pillow ride?

im not sure yet what i want to do...

It's a debacle? Are you serious? You must've read that word on the inside cover of a book or something...cause in this case you're saying either:

1. A sudden, disastrous collapse, downfall, or defeat; a rout.
2. A total, often ludicrous failure.
3. The breaking up of ice in a river.
4. A violent flood.

So which one is it?

his tire size is fine. Stock for his car is 215/60/16 or something like that. Stock for my '04 is 225/55/16...so he did fine for the wheels he bought.

If I go the CL/TL-S rout, it's 235's baby!

I've never been a fan of willfully spending money for small wheels with huge sidewalls. Might as well go to pepboys and get some 30 dollar hubcaps, it has the same effect. Just my honest opinion, and as they say, Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

Aside from that (and the "debacle" debacle), I'd say go with k-sport. it definitely needs something done because as it sits, it's kinda dry.

Also, is that mirror tint or is it a reflective color tint?

bigjussin · 05-02-08, 02:46 PM

i think they look good on there, some 215/40's might set it off a lil bit more...have been trying to find a set for mine

Rower4VT · 05-02-08, 07:11 PM

I think it looks great. The height is good if you ask me, though the KSports would help the handling and you'd be able to level it out...the rear looks like it's sitting a bit lower than the front...like mine. I'd like to get the same wheels and the KSports. I'd stick with the 50-series tires also.

GrumpySteelMan · 05-02-08, 07:25 PM

The more I look at that, the more I like it. Yes B+O it's like a special olympics entry if you're into the baller/vip look...but I like it.

Naw, it just kinda irritates me to see a car from the rear and notice "hmmm Those tires are kinda thick, Must have some wheels on it" then i pull up along side of it and they're chromed out Fisher-Price "My First Rims" with 80 series sidewalls...

I wasted my gas damn catching up to you

But i do agree, if executed right, those 17s could look really nice. I've always liked that wheel's design

Alperovich · 05-02-08, 09:33 PM

nice wheels! i've always liked them. they look good on the RL for sure.

supernick37 · 05-04-08, 11:45 PM

in the search for the wheels i wanted a factory acura wheel, only because its way more expensive to do what i actually wanted like running 18" Stern wheels and on top of my limited budget i had to find something with the right offset.

idealy i would have been able to run these wheels

but unfortunately i dont have 1500 for the wheels and 600 for tires...

so i found the 02 type S wheels for 350 with tires, and it only need 2 replaced, my good buddies at les schwab fitted the rest
