WBA- did you get my email(s)??

i got 2 from you but w/ no response in them.

i will extend my question to forum-

"....new ride - 2004 black accord ex v6 sedan

i plan on getting springs, rims/tires, tint, & chrome tips for my exhaust.

i will get TIEN springs- it will be lower- but not too low because
i need to be able to have passengers now and then.

i need your help on rims and tires(17-18s). i am a fan of old
school style 5 spoke chromes- but i am open to any of your
suggestions.

the rims that have caught my eye are the 17" TSW vortex, chrome.

please let me know what you think - also other style styles you
think look sick on sedans and fit w/out mods.
because i dont want to have to shave wheelwells or anything like that......"



any websites or sample pics will be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

thanks- sober1

well folks, its been a few years.
summary: had some kids.
got some tint
got some 17" Helio's
got some eibach's (asked for tien's got talked out of it)

THE DAY AFTER i got the rims and springs, my clearcoat stated to fail. it went from a dime sized cloud on the trunk to a full blown scabies sunburn. took it to the dealer....the gave me the finger. after a couple years, my trunk has zero clearcoat and it was peeling everywhere.

i couldnt drop $7k on a factory paint job, so i recently bit the bullet and got a $1400 paint job from one of "those" places (earl shive, maaco, miracle). they did a great job matching factory color, and it looks great overall.

i also bought a headlight restoration kit and got the yellow puss color out.

she looks pretty good now.
