the discontinued weds tc005!!!!

[tekneek]

i say just get the tl-s wheels. they are about the same size as the weds you want and they look similar. OEM quality on top of that and i'm sure they are much easier to find since they are from acura. much cheaper i'd imagine too

[EuroRspec]

If you really want a set of wheels, go over to the RSX forums. They have the same size's and aray of offset. I'm in the process of deal for a set of rims from a member as we speak.

so have you figure out what to do yet?

[stunner_360]

hm...so i think i might do it. i'm just worried that if i get the 15mm spacers (which would push the offset to +30). i fear that it would stick out too much; but it probably won't. anyway, i just fear if it doesn't look good, or if somehow it doesn't work, then i will have wasted my money and will hafta sell it.
but, i REALLY REALLY love these rims; i've always wanted these. hands down.

Honestly speaking, I don't think it will work. +30 is too low for TSX unless you are rolling/pulling fenders or running negative camber. Running a lug pattern conversion spacer is dangerous as it can come loose (mostly on track) but its still somewhat unsafe. You might as well get your wheels re-drill to 114.3 x 5. However, that will weaken the structure of the rims. Conclusion? Get wheels that properly fit your car. If you love those wheels, wait for another set. I waited for all my rims to show up.....but if you really love them and can't pass on them, by all means, do it. It's your car, and at the end of the day, if you are happy, that's all it matters.

they are 7.5" wide rims.
I think everyone is forgetting that here.
we're not talking like 8.5" or 9" rims or anything.

17x7.5 +30 is like 17x8.5 +42.7 in terms of sticking towards the fender.

it's not such a crazy stretch.

The WEDS TC005N does offer in 5X114.3 pattern; it's not on your area kijiji doesn't mean it's not available.

This idea is whack...

You have NOT pay yet, so why adjust yourself to fit in w/ the rims. Buy the right rims that fit into your car, not the opposite.

This also has to do w/ safety issue, use a 15mm lug-converser spacer? lol...

hey let's try to be nice and helpful about it, ya?
others have thought it was a bad idea, but they're not mocking me and being a jerk about it. thanks!

if your getting a 15mm spacer your gonna need to cut your old studs and put extended studs i wouldnt wanna run a different wheel pattern just for one set of rims.the bolt pattern was made for the tsx and you should run that bolt pattern. theres alot of threads about spacers just search. and im running a 7.5 with a 38 offset and its pretty flush but being too flush and low can cause rubbing but dont run a to high offset or your wheel will look really in your fender. i would just wait it out dude and she whats good for your car and keep searching and all ive done is searched follow what the other tsxer's say and put that in mind when im looking for whatever im looking for. for now since you only want to spend 3500 i would start getting your suspension first and see what kind of rim and tire combo you can get for what you have left. and its not bad to roll on stockies, the tsx looks nice with a good drop and the stock rims. as for the aspec lip kit its gonna cost 600 bucks for you since your not related to my cousin but im getting it for 400 haha. but honestly i dont think you can get hondata, coilovers, and rims and tires with 3500 with the rims your looking for.

[04pwptehsex]

^ full aspec for 400 ? or just front cause 400 for full kit is crackhead price

[Benz]

I had a set of 17 x 7 +38 offset and the front was flush as hell. The rear as well, I don't know about you, but my car was lowered and it was rubbing until I had to turn to the hardest setting

[MMsTSX]

I wouldn't do it.
I'd get rims with the proper bolt pattern.

[stunner_360]

alright! so after hearing all (well, most) of your trustworthy/helpful/gracious advice, i am not going to do it. i am a little sad, as i really love those rims, but,it's okay. i do appreciate everyone chipping in their suggestions/warnings/whatever you wanna call it. thanks guys.

I hope you took everyone's opinions well, its not like we don't want you to. Just don't want you to regret. But I have seen someone else with this Weds on their TSX before, he was in Australia, was a buddy of mine too.
