Re: My RSX-S on SSR Competitions (LeeChun GSR)
Patience my friends, patience! I'm waiting on some quality stuff to come out, **** ground control! 
edit: they're 17x8, 48 mm offset (too high IMO
) Aesthetics-wise, I think plus-sized wheels look better pushed to the edge of the fender, but apparently Tire Rack disagrees. The tires are 215/45WR-17 Kumhos.

Re: My RSX-S on SSR Competitions (ArcticFreeze)
can you please take a pic from a front angle or a quarter shot so we can get an Idea of how the offset is I.E. if they stick out or they are tucked. I would appreciate it.

Re: My RSX-S on SSR Competitions (typer 00-115)
Yeah I'll have more pics but I can tell you right now it's waaaay tucked. I'm not overly pleased with the offset (48 mm) honestly. Stock offset for the 16" wheels is 45 mm and I think it would have looked better if they had stuck with that. No clearance problems, but I just like for the wheels to be flush with the fender.

looks good. waiting to see the bad boy in person tomorrow. FYI, I swapped a stock 94GS-R rims (15x6 -45mm offset I think) to SSR typeX rims (15x7 -42mm offset) and the look was perfect. What is the stock RSX-S wheel spec? 16x6.5 -45mm?

Oh they look great on your car. It still look OK even u haven't lower it yet. Actually I won't mind getting them in 16" myself. Yeah I know stock is 16" too but SSR TypeC(Competition) is way lighter than stock. But 17" are nice too since RSX is 2.0L now, just don't get 18" anyway.

Re: My RSX-S on SSR Competitions (Cosworth)
16x6.5, 45mm offset is correct. The higher offset is just going to take some getting used to on my part I guess.

Re: mah RSX-S on SSR Competitions (ArcticFreeze)
yessssss sireeee bob, autocrossin' is one of the reasons I bought the car. I've already heard of bad experiences with the RSX GC coilovers, and I have no use for adjustable height sprin's.
so, have you had a chance to auto-x the RSX yet? how did it compare to other cars you've used and the competition? able to compete with ITR's? rsx being new i haven't seen/heard much of them in auto-x. also, if you are serious into auto-x, height adjustable springs may come in handy sometimes...
