I like them better than the Euro-R wheels. I found a new backup set of wheels now thanks to you haha

Waxing so often might be an issue. I did that to my old Jeep and started wearing down the special paint. I later found that I have to wax my vehicles once a year, maybe twice, at most (granted, I garage them at home and at work, not a lot of outdoor exposure), and regular washing (particularly before storms, so the rainwater doesnt' collect dirt/scum/pollen and concentrate it at drain points) keeps the finish in good condition. The schtuff that collects on a car is what deteriorates a good waxed finish, getting it off regularly helps immensely. (By waxing, I mean applying good carnauba-based stuff and actually buffing it off, not using a no-buff compound.)

Just my two cents, not criticizing how you care for you car.


And my TSX doing something other than going to work or buying groceries (VIR full course, Turn 12 "the oak tree"), stock wheels of course, specs as quoted in my sig. Happy to join you on this forum....

I had this problem on my 06 and Acura agreed to pay 50% which I thought was garbage so I called Acura client Svcs 1-800-422-2872 and pleaded with them and Acura ended up paying 80% I was out of pocket 702 dollars and they paid 2800. The body shop gas painted atleast 20 of them all red he said there was a problem with the formula in the 04 and up mrp tsx's and tsx's but from honda's history all mrp cars as long as I can remember have turned pink. So whoever is having this problem don't settle just argue a little they'll eventually give in hope this helps whoever having this problem any questions feel free to ask.

Sorry, I just don't 'get' all the extreme negative camber on the rear wheels. What's the appeal, guys?

Flush is the new style here in the US so no one wants to miss out. I like it better on the bigger bodies. Unlike the civic's. It's a little too much for them. IMO. Ill get there soon but not that negative! SlammedEH3 your tsx is hard!! Keep it up!

I'm not arguing the point, I was hoping someone would point out special tires or wheels that are designed to be at this angle.

nyc-tsx, I DO like those gunmetal wheels and red calipers. Drive it like you stole it.
