Gen2 wheel thread?

Is there an official TSX Gen 2 wheel thread?

I doubt there are enough 2nd gens with aftermarket wheels to warrant having it's own thread right now.

You can see the wheels I just put on mine here: New wheels mounted on my CU2

He gave me an upfront discount on the wheels when I purchased them in exchange to use the pics I took of my car.

Hey what about brakes? Do you need to beef up the rotors and pads when going from 17s to 19s?

And what about the REVs Per Mile? Are you guys changing the stock RPM considerably? Does this affect the puter much?

And shocks, beefier too?

I use my TSX to commute from the country to the city daily, and everything is cool until you get into the city and then it's like your trying to get through a war zone. Pot holes, RR tracks, idiots cutting you off/stopping all of the sudden, yada yada yada.

I know shocks are important if you add additional considerable weight over stock on 4x4 trucks, so I'd assume it's similar in cars.

Does anyone know what a OEM stock 17" wheel/tire weighs?

And what about the TPMS sensors? Are you guys ordering yours with the wheels or are you re-using the ones from the stock wheels and having them mounted in the new ones? And if you are re-using them do they have to be re-recognised by the car? Or is that just for new ones?

A lot of questions but there may be others out there thinking the same things.

Thanks.

Hallo guys I just registered but I intend to stay around here for a while....So as you can see I bought the current gen Honda Accord Euro last summer (2nd gen Acura TSX in the US) and i want to buy her new shoes.I really like the style of the second pic and the last pic. Can you give me suggestions what these rims are (make , model ) and where can i get `em from ? Or some links to similar rims. Thanks.

How do you mean? If I upgrade to 20" wheels and keep the overall weight, diameter and width of the tires close to oem (less than a inch) do I still have to change the suspension components? At what point is the changover required? I know there has to be a maximum size allowed before requiring mods to the oem suspension? Or were you just stating that "to look good" you need to lower the chassis, thus you need to do the suspension first?

Please explain more in detail.
Thanks,
N2O

It is a common trend to say "suspension first" and it sort has developed into something amongst the forums when giving advice. Basically it is to prevent huge wheel gap when you put rims on.

It doesnt matter either way, but you "should" have a drop with wheels within at least a few weeks of eachother to avoid "embrassment" on the forums
