New Rims for my RSX

[Shaun Carollo]

Since I am trying to make my vehicle stand out from the rest, I have decided to lower the car 2", and get some black rims with a polished lip.

Here is my current set up, just the stockers:http://community.webshots.com/photo/305728347/305733453flDWhB

New Wheels (http://www.wheelsnext.com/prod_imgs/img-1547-large.jpg) $799 mounted, balanced, and shipped to my door with these tires (205/40/17) (http://www.wheelsnext.com/prod_imgs/img-323-small.jpg)

What do you guys think? Will it be worth it?

my friend has 18`s on his rsx and it looks retarded cuz the car is not dropped. Defore you throw rims onto any car it needs to be lowered for sure. I say lower it then throw on some 18`s. 17`s are too small they belong on a civic

I think they`ll look really good. Just keep in mind of the roads you drive on. I know my one friend had a pair similiar to them and they got bent up like crazy because theres so many potholes and messed up roads here. I also believe Sean(GSRstilez) had similiar problems with his older rim setup which was similiar to the ones you linked. I do really like the black with silver lip though.

I`m pretty sure 18`s would rub with the 2"-2.25" drop. Hopefully 17" will fill the gap...and make my fender cleaning a PITA!

17`s will not fill any gap...18`s also will not rub. you can have up to a 2.75 inch drop with no rubbing. My friends rsx has Tien SS coils with 18" ADR`s and it looks mint. If your not lowering the car the wheel gap will look worse. Trust me, lower the car first then get the rims you will be alot happier in the long run.
EDIT: Sorry i did not see the part in your post about you lowering your car. HAHA my bad

I`d recommend purchasing a set of adjustable coilovers. By doing so you will be able to adjust the ride height and stance to your liking. The wheels you have in mind are nice and the price on the wheel and tire package is hard to pass up.
