just got these this morning. i'll take more pix once my vafc and front spoiler get here.



forged prodrive GC-07 17x7.5 +48 w/ 225 45 17 es100 on the front, 17x8.5 +54 with 245 40 17 on the rear. i wanted to go to 255, but thanks to andyp's insight, i went with the 245's which barely fit and dont rub! oh, and blue ray's engineering lugs (thank you jdms2000!). lowered with neuspeed springs all around. no problems rubbing yet, but i havent really taken in any large bumps.

i took a quick spin to paddock racing to have my exhaust adjusted.. while there i saw these:

at first i was hesitant about putting on the blue lugs, then i looked at my old kyokugens and thought to myself.. put on a set of lugs that has no reputation with regards to strength and quality behind it, or use the ray's lugs which are known for their quality and craftsmanship. if you examine both lugs next to each other, you can easily see why the ray's are triple the price over the kyokugens. then again, theyre only lugs right?


i'm running neuspeed springs which imho are a bit too low. i'm currently in the market for a set of decent coilovers (jic, buddy club, tein), and once i find a set i'll keep the fronts at the drop they are at now, but the rears i think i'll raise about 3/4".

thank you for your compliments!

Apparently Prodrive is getting into the Honda game... they showed a TSX at SEMA.
