RSX-S wheels on my 6spd coupe

4cruizn · 05-04-05, 11:51 PM

I haven't posted pics in the gallery forever! Today I finally have an excuse to. Winter was pretty brutal on my coupe but it feels good to do a good detail job and I finally got some new rims installed today after having driven on stocks for about six months. I'm just about to turn over 170,000 miles.

My new wheels are 17x7 chrome 2005 Acura RSX Type S wheels. I purchased them from Falconi's Acura in Las Vegas. They came with center caps/emblems, chrome valve stems, factory Acura wheel locks, and lug nuts. Tires are from Ebay -- new Falken Ziex 512 Z-rated, 215/45/17. They are the same size tires I was running on my IS300 wheels.

I was debating between these wheels, chrome IS wheels, and chrome CL-S/TL-S wheels. Ultimately, I liked these the best.

I had to have them bored out at a machine shop. Enjoy the pics; there are a lot of them! I think it turned out all right. Just need to lower it a bit and I'll be set.

This one was driving down my steep driveway -- gives the illusion of the car being lowered --

^^ Yes, I have plastic covering my carpet! lol... it needs to be redone though.

looks good man. But i dont know...i prefer the cl/tl-s rims.

but i do like how it looks when the car is off the curb a little. So lower that sucker...it'll look A LOT better. Hot as always

Looks nice! First time I've seen those wheels in chrome. The '05 wheels are definitely sharp.

OJP · 05-04-05, 11:56 PM

now that loooks reaaaalllly good, inside and out. I like the rims alot better than the previous ones you had

You know off the bat how I feel about her

....I was wondering who was gonna be the first with the RSX-S wheels. VERY hot Tyson.

I love the interior shot. You've inspired me to clean up my coupe tomorrow!!!

Cole Austin · 05-05-05, 12:04 AM

is your car lowered? I think it would look alot better about 1.5" lower

Scbrindley · 05-05-05, 12:06 AM

Wow, that are great. I love the RSX-S wheels and was wondering if anybody was giong to put them on a Legend. Those look awesome! I think those wheels might be my favorite that I have ever seen on a Legend....I might have to pick up a set for myself. Your car looks sweet.

Yeah, I get bored with wheels pretty quick. My original set were 18" Evo5's, then IS wheels, now these... I like to change it up once in awhile.

Nah... all stock. Eventually I'll drop it. Right now I'm saving up for my 180k maintenance.

All original paint. The roof is showing wear after 11 years of sun (the car came from California). It does need a rear bumper cover; you can tell where I backed into somebody on the right rear corner. Other than that it's mint. I bought it two years ago with 95k and I'm currently at 169,100. I'll keep it shined up for ya

.

Thanks imaginasian, Ken, BR, and SB for the comments too!
