Hello all... not a big fan of my 08 V6 Coupe's rims - but I prefer to stay with the OEM look. I really like the 09 TSX Rims... would this be a simple swap out for the stock Rims? I mostly am concerned about the TPMS integration. Also, could the center caps be swapped as well?

Thanks!

Here is a quick photochop... TSX wheels looks a little blue-ish, but you get the picture. Plus, I also *hate* having to clean the 10 spoke wheels! It's so difficult to get behind the spokes.

You can swap the center caps, the TPMS sensors may have to be re-calibrated by your dealer. If the wheel is identical in size then you won't have to do this.

NOTE: I just realized you'll be stepping down an inch in wheel size as the TSX's wheel's are 17's. You will have to get the TPMS sensors re-calibrated by a dealer.

Thanks a bunch for the info. I should be able to install the TSX wheels/tires at the house and drive it to the dealer for the re-cal correct?

Ryan - I will let you know if I sell them :)... although, I may hold on to 'em. Thanks for the interest though.

I sympathize with wanting to stay with a stock look, but I'd go for some much better looking wheels than the TSX.

Then again I like how the V-6 Coupe wheels look, so....

yuck, to each their own though
i do find it funny when people step down in rim size cuz all people ever seem to want to do is go bigger than the next guy
