Thanks guys.

The turbo kit is going to be installed after I finish up this semester. I just went back to school for my masters in architecture and I am also working 2 jobs so I have absolutely no free time to do everything right now. So basically this means that it will be installed in Dec.

The wheels are a love hate thing and yes, they are bronze not gold, lol

They are Volk Racing CE28N's (18x7.5" +43mm offset)

seats and car look really good..nice and clean. i just think 18" CE's are too big on an RSX..should've went 16" or 17" max. they look great, just too big. just MY opinion..if you like it, thats all that matters

Personally, I don't think that 18"s is "too big" for the RSX. Maybe that's why they put 17"s from the factory, because this car is bigger than older Integra's or Civic's where 18"s is actually too big, but that's just me.

Car looks great man Keep it up.

I completely disagree with this statement.

A 16" barely even fits on our rotors, the car came stock with 17's and I think that the 18's fit the car perfect.

Have you seen an RSX with smaller than 18" CE28N's??? they look completely ridiculous. The 19" + start too look too big. These wheels are really light and these wheels are for daily and show use. These are not the wheels that are going to be used at the track.

But to each his own. I don't see anything wrong with going 1" up on the factory wheel size. The RSX has such a big fenderwell that it takes a larger wheel to fill it properly.

I got the rear seat too, lol


Man, the car feels like it handles better since I put these in. I know its just because these seats don't let you slide around like the stock leather seats do.

It is the Peakboost stage 2GT turbo kit. It was the first one produced by the company and I had to wait a year on it. So unless you just got it I doubt that it is the same kit, lol

Thanks for the comments
