Yeah, I know I'm really going out on a limb doing 5 spoke silver wheels on an RSX, but what the heck, you only live once.

I've got something else on the way that should be a little more traditional...

[Catnip]

How much do you want for those stang wheels?

[Nerdsrock22]

How much do you want for those stang wheels?

lol...unless you've got something cool for me to put these new tires on, over $9000.




*if serious, pm me.

[Catnip]

No cash, so I won't waste your time, lolol. Looks good like that. I'm not sure if it's a rare combo, but I've never seen it.

[firby911]

More low and your golden

[Nerdsrock22]

Chang has Saleen wheels on his Accord, other than that, I've not seen it done before.

[Romeo]

The picture really doesn't show how the wheels sit on the car. Maybe slightly lower, but nothing too big. I like the drive-ability that your car has.

[EJ_Allmota]

Mustang wheels, REALLY dude.. The stock joints were much better..

[Tommy_T]

everybody is hating because its something different. i love them andy, great stance.

Needs more "5.0" badging lol

[Nerdsrock22]

I'll look into it.

Btw, you made it, and you didn't even need spacers, haha.

[chorne1787]

shit is clean good concave wheel that fits well with some meat on the tires would run this combo if i had a fwd 5x114 that could run 17s and look right

[antj101]

Was it you I was messing with on the highway?

[Doppelgänger]

In zee RX-7? Yes it was. I <3 FCs...was my first car. Car sounds good BTW.

O snaps! Thanks Andy!

Wow, totally missed the DBZ reference. I must be gettin old :lmao:

[Sammich]

im not w/ the masses on this one...i think, for some reason, those wheels look pretty good on there. nice drop too..thought you were going to keep this car stock though

[Nerdsrock22]

Yeah, we were all going to keep our cars stock. I will say that I am pushing for a strong OEM+ feel.

[Sammich]

lol well if thats teh case mine is still stock :ninja:

[jmotley]

*if serious, pm me.

did he say over 9,000?

[DeeAOne]

I love it Andy!

[Nerdsrock22]

did he say over 9,000?

Yes, I did.

[slowinmidga]

Saw this in person at JJspec...At first I was like wtf but then it start to grow on me. I like it.

[Dylan]

It's very different but very clean.but could be cleaner :ninja: ...

[PTCDC5]

Good plan, I'm with you on that. Aspec lip like you plan would look really clean.

[Nerdsrock22]

Updated: better pics to come soon.

[Sinfix_15]

So many good factory honda wheels to chose from, why did you get mustang wheels? they dont look bad..... but theyre mustang wheels!!!! they have little ponies on them. Thats one of the easiest mustang wheels to spot. With that said..... those are probably the cheapest quality 17 wheels on the planet, im assuming thats why you have them.

[Genji-Sama]

Perfect height, but the wheels.....they're so ...american........just doesn't fit for me, but hey, do you :goodjob:

Well, they are just temporary wheels that I bought for sizing purposes, but I love mixing OEMs because it always garners such strong reactions from people, both from this side and the domestics. We hardly think about anything we see online anymore, and if I can get people to think about something for 25 bucks a wheel, then I'm down.

Wheels look great dude.

of all people on this forum i expected you to rip on this! Mustang wheels on an Acura.... far bigger car sin than Honda badge on an Acura. Even though they do look ok..... but so do the Honda badges

[1blckss]

Mustang wheels? Not gonna lie, they look really bad. IMO.

haha. I had to look at it again and he is right about the wheels lookin like a mustang. you should put the saleen sticker in the middle of them. I know that would get a laugh.

[Nerdsrock22]

They already have huge Pony centercaps. There isn't any doubt.

I can dig it. +2 for thinking outside of the box.

[revenge]

LOOKS GOOD TO ME.

As you learned from me in your wheel thread, I love 5 stars. The more basic, the better. Those wheels fit very nicely on Andy's car. And they look much better than Honda badges. At least he doesn't have Mustang center caps. That would have been the shitter. Later, QD.

andy?

ANDY?!

[RUFFIAN]

Are those Mustang wheels?......... They shure look like it. I'm on the fence about the look. It's not awful but I'm not sold.

u mad?

It's all in fun, Y'all know I can't take this stuff too seriously.

But just to set the record straight, my centercaps are actually the correct polished ones, not the mismatched painted silver ones.

[bigdom]

loving the look of your rsx, its hard to find these cars in stockish form lately, but im loving the OEM+ standpoint. mustang wheels kinda look pretty decent on here. keep it up dude, cant wait to see how much more improvements you make.

[Austin?]

It look better stock.

[quickdodge®]

It's all in fun, Y'all know I can't take this stuff too seriously.

Of course, dude. I love the look. If there was a way to get the Mustang logos off, that would be cool, though. Later, QD.

[green91]

Not gonna lie, i like it much better than i thought i would. Ditto on shaving the Ponies.

[Browning151]

I like the Mustang wheels on there, something different.

[Type-S-Ralph]

great shots andy.

[Dylan]

Saw it when you rode by work the other day. Looks great!

[RL...]

These don't look bad, and from afar would look stock. I do not like the fact that the pony is visible on the center caps though.

[Nerdsrock22]

Who is this? I assume you are a Maconite?

Dylan, I drive the black rsx. I bought those tsx wheels from you a few months back.

Looking great Andy! I like how you chose to go with the Type-R rear instead of the A-spec. You going to IA this weekend?
