I had 205/60/16 Nord Frost 5 tires installed.

On occasion I hear somewhat of a clunk when going over very tall speed bumps... and very drastic holes in the pavement.

I inspected the rim & tire well and I could not see anywhere that the rims was making contact. I asked my mechanic about this, and he seems to think that the high offset of the RSX-S rims are causing the problem.

On the weekend, when I re-mounted my winters I compared the OE wheel/tire to the winter package and noticed that the tire side wall doesn't quite tuck under the wheel well. I'm assuming that the high offset is pushing the tire too far outside.

I'm now pretty sure that this is the cause of the noise. My questions are...

Should I be concerned about the occasional contact of the tire with the wheel well lip?

I know tons of guys that are lowered get the occasional rub due to their extremely low clearence. (my car is not lowered and prob the only reason why its not causing more issues).

If I were to go with another honda alloy... if I went with the Accord V6 16" alloy wheel.. does that have the right offset that I need?

Hey guys.. I am thinking about getting new wheels for Christmas. I have a NHB TSX and right now im going for the Chrome look, i no most people dont like it but I do. anyway these are the rims i am looking at...ASA AR9 With Spoke Inserts Machined w/Black Accent
They are 18inch with 45mm offset. I plan on running them with the CF insert and my question is is it possible to get just the machine metal part chromed?
if so how much would this cost?
That way it would give me a black and chrome look
thats what im really going for
If its not possible let me no if you all have some ideas on this or ideas on some wheels?
help me out if you can..

thanks alot guys all feedback is accepted positive and negative

Front:
18 x 8 +38
225/40 ZR 18

Rear:
18 x 9 +45
255/35 ZR 18

Btw, I don't want to do any fender work.

I'm on Tein Basics right now, and I'm also curious how low could I possibly go without rubbing, or do these wheels just not work at all!

I know the Mugens are better quality, lighter and worth more, but I'm not too sure about the design. I like the RonJon design a bit more, but I know they're much heavier (~22-23lbs for 18s, even more for 19s), not forged, and not in the same league as mugen wheels, plus I've seen some pretty nasty pictures of RJ wheels after a collision. The deal on the RJ doesn't specify a size, I can get 18 or 19 for the same price in hyper silver, machined black or chrome. I would be leaning towards 19s in hyper silver or machined black, the set of rims comes to $1100

Looking for some of your opinions on this choice, but for some reason I feel most people will be leaning toward the Mugens.

Again, these are going on my 06 pwp, thanks for any input you guys can provide.. ]]> 1st Gen - Wheels, ... 2K6TSX http://tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-wheels/40063-mugen-gp-ronjon-inspyre-19-a.html http://tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-wheels/40059-looking-get-new-rims.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:56:25 GMT hey guys im looking to get a new set of rims but i want an agressive stance i was looking at the tenzo-r type-m version 2 prob black but does anyone know the best aggressive stance that would look great on the tsx mind u i want to get 18's what width and what offset would u guys think would look aggrerssive and could u provide some pics so i can get an idea of what it would look like as far as off sets here is trhe rim i wanna get

I know fitment questions are a dime a dozen and im sorry in adavance, i did a little searching on the site but didnt come up with anything, I'm wondering if these wheels are going to "poke out" too far from the car and if there will be rubbing issues?

Thanks!

So i just dumped it on here. Great deal on a set of 18" original Mugen GP rims.

They gave 8th gen civic a price of $799, which from what i read are still honoring, so perhaps call to find out.

Since 55 dollars of gas was needed to get these wheels, I didn't want to pay for shipping. Any ways, these guys only have six left since I bought one off their hands and not through eBay. I am not affiliated with them. It's just these guys were very nice to me with the sale. One of them tried to charge me tax but another guy wiped it off. These guys are located in Las Vegas. Here is the eBay link.

Oh and here are the pictures. I'm not mounting these soon because my OEM tires are still in good condition and I don't want to throw them away.

I mainly want pics so I can see what it looks like. I'm hopping it will look good rather than too small.
