Personally, i wouldn't go for chrome. But if you had to, i would definitely pick the first style you linked.

Definately 19x8.
Chrome / polished on white does go good.

I like these:

I like the chrome / polished rims look on grey.
If you after tuner look, white or bronze always looks good.
I think black on graphite looks shite.

Only issue I have with black wheels is that when the car is moving, you can't really see the wheel design very well and it can be a bit hard to tell if it is an alloy wheel at all.

sorry buddah but I have to disagree (for the first time perhaps :p) with you on this and agree with Kimnkk here...

Chrome wheels and bling2 wheels are no no for me... But hey, its only my personal opinion though... :angel: Also perhaps coz I like the "sporty" look still than the "classy" look (otherwise I will fell in love with the Accord Asia instead of Euro XD)

Personal opinions vary so much when it comes to cars. A classic example is i would never drive my car without a car bra, even though i know they spoil the look. But at the same time i know they stop 80% of stone chips & i cant stand those little devils. I still have the Bra off my FD1 in the cupboard, no one wants it. But i guess living in the bush has a lot to do with my view as well.

Just done some calculations for you Denot,
Stock tyre = 225/50x17. the correct replacements are:-

235/45x18......245/35x19

If you fit 225/40x18 the figures are

Standard revs per mile = 780 versus 804 for the 18"

speedo error would be 100kph standard versus 95kph for the 18"

so in reality if you fir 225/45x18 they are slightly too small.

hope that helps

I have done three months of research on this subject and the bottom line (at least for the CU2 Lux) is the following.

Stock rubber is 235/45/18 on 8" +55 offset wheels. If you go to 7.5" rims the 235 will still fit comfortably and a change to a +45 offset is OK and from my experience will clear the guards.

Any lower offset would increase the track by over 20mm. In NSW (don't know about other states) it is only legal to increase your track by 25mm (that would be +43 offset). I am told that an increase of more than 10mm in offset will put a lot of strain on the running gear, may void your warranty and insurance, not to mention you will probably have to roll the guards.

The other issue that I have encountered is the 'x factor' of the wheel, the CU2 has massive front brake calipers and even with a change to +45 offset a lot of wheels have a dish that is too deep and fouls on the caliper.

I have been shopping around for months now and the retailers really have no idea given the model is so new. I had one guy try to sell me +35 offset wheels and then when I insisted on nothing under +45 he wanted to put 5mm spacers behind the wheels.

My advice do your research before you buy.

By the way this is the best calculator I have found.

Mate one look at the lip on those I'd say no way they will fit over the front brakes, even if they are a 55 offset, which I doubt.

These are mine, they are a similar style and they fit (18x8 45 offset).

Tenzo Type M

Taleb Tyres fitted them and they stock them, however I didn't deal direct with them I purchased them through a third party XDC Automotive in Sydney and they were great in finding a wheel for me that both fits and is legal.

Good luck, I found it a very frustrating experience (4 months) finding the right wheel.

Oh I thought I put in the wrong info for the oem spec cu2 wheel, but i looked it up all good now. If you are going for 19s, dont get 235/35, get 245/35 atleast. The load rating on 235 is too small (91) and it will leave more wheel gap. 245/35 matches the oem rolling diameter almost exactly. You dont have to get a 98, just make sure the weights match up...ie the load rating on whatever tyre you get can still comfortably support the weight of each corner. You have some room to move as the placard it comes with is inflated to much greater than the actual car weight.

Yes Rudy, if you look @ the calculation its abit weird... The Accord Thai is heavier than Euro, but they only use 94V as the load rate!!! my friend say the same thing as what u sed, he use 88 on his CL9 and nothing bad happened to him or the car... (yet? :p)

It's not a worry as long as nothing happens, However if your ever in an unfortunate position & your tyres are checked you could be in deep shit if the load rating is below manufactured specs. Therefore you should use tyres with a minimum 98 load rating. You can go up, but you can't come down.

Actually thats not true, the vicroads guideline is misleading, I had a 91 on a 94 V car and a vicroads certified engineer said it was ok after he checked the weights...i had almost 100kg to spare on each corner. Its more about the actual weight rating compared to actual car weight, not simply the number.

235/45 will be too much over stock diameter. 235/40 will work but tyres in this size are rare and incredibly expensive. Best to go with 245/35 imo.

Rudy,

I tried google 235/45 and its return almost nothing... but I can find 235/40 cheap everywhere... got quote $225 ea for 235/45 and $175 ea for 235/40.

also, 235/45 is the stock tyre for the Euro Lux (18x8) the only problem is the width (will buldge out by 1 cms ish)

Hi Denot, It appears you were googling 235/45 in 18. I was talking about 19 in tyres. I assume you wanted 19s because in your post on the previous page you mentioned 235/35/19?

any reason why u go 245/35/19 and not 235/40/19?
on the calculator above. Seems a 235/40/19 tire diameter of +3 mm matches the Lux rims more accurately, while the tyre diameter 245/35/19 is 14mm shorter

245/35 is a match for the standard 17 overall diameter, i didnt check the sport luxury diameter.

But you are right, you can go 235/40 in fact I would recommend that as the priority. The one small problem is that this is a very rare size, i think only 2 companies can get this size in aus, one being bridgestone, and the price is literally double per tyre than in 245/35. I know this cause i was in the exact same position and ended up getting the 245/35. However, if you are prepared to fork out the cost , then definately get the 235/40/19.

Denot, there is no such thing as a good cheap tyre, in the size your looking at I seriously doubt you will get a reasonable quality tyre under $350 & more than likely around $400 each. Stay away from cheap imports.

Even the stock Yokohama's fitted to the Standard Euro are on the high side of $300 each.

There is such thing as a good value for money tyre. I recommend Sumitomo Z3, Jap made (they own part of dunlop) .... can get from any Tyre Factory store. Actually ranked as the number 1 tyre online against more well known such as yoko and potenza.

I got my 245/35/19 for 285 each. I would say its hard to find a cheaper good tyre, but they definately do exist. Falken 452 is another good one for considerably less and jap made.

Each to their own i guess, but the only thing between me and the road is my tyres, sure it makes little difference on a dry road, but when the heavens open you need tyres you can rely on. Falken 452 r a fairly good tyre, but wouldn't last me a year. Sumitomo i wouldn't touch. If I were buying tyres I would be looking at the upper Yokohama range, Michelin Pilot Preceda, or maybe Bridgestone Potanza"s. Another possible consideration maybe Continental sports, there are some good reports on those.

Tyres are like anything else, you get what you pay for

27-02-2009, 11:13 PM
tbh, sumitomo being the largest trading corporation in the world and manufacturing tyres in japan to japanese standards will be infinitely superior to any Chinese made and many american branded asian made tyres.

i'd not write them off.

that being said, every vehicle at my house runs on Yokohamas, A-drives, S-Drives and Geolandars

I love Yokohamas because they are made with quality materials and they wear consistently.

my S-Drives were amazing on my dc2

I've heard good things about The Sumitomo Z3s(i think they are).But in saying that you do get what you pay for in tyres which is why i run Conti Sport Contact 3s on my car.They really suit the euro.Semi sport semi comfort and excellent in the wet.Also wear well.Got 47K out of the CSC2s.BUT not cheap.

Thanks to those that agree with me. Yes they are expensive, & you would need to import them privately but if you got a set you know that regardless of how many CU2's are out there it is likely you would be 1 of a very few that had these wheels. Add to that that I am fortunate to be dealing with US currency on a daily basis the exchange rate doesn't come into it for me.
For those of you that would like this wheel in Black (not really to my liking) even though it could look great on a white car

Try Michelin Australia their Web site shows a Pilot Sport in 245/40 x 19 rated 98. Depends of course what width rims you are looking at but that should fit 7.5' to 9'. You would be 5 ml taller and 10 ml wider than the standard 18's, not much to worry about.

Don't forget the offset though of new your rims, 55 is standard and 45 is about the limit for legal. And I have said this until I am blue in the face but have the wheel test fitted before they fit tyres etc there are a heap of wheels that won't clear the front brake calipers on the CU2 (months of frustration makes me an expert).

Not really, the standard 18's are 235/45. The closest profile for a 19 is 40 or you can go down to a 35 but then the problem is finding a 98 load rating in a 35 profile.

I stuck to 18's didn't want to make the ride any harsher and the factory tyres are too expensive an item to muck around with.

Doosra, those wheels do look awesome but can you imagine the ride on those rubber bands. Also a 42 offset is illegal (at least in NSW as the track would increase by over 25 mm) and rolling a guard can be a risky business. Not a practical solution.

I don't think it really needs a 98 load rating it is just that Honda Australia decided to spec both the 17' and 18' that way. The Acura in the States comes with 93 rated rubber as standard and the Accord (Euro) in the UK has 92's.

The problem now is that Australian laws say you can only replace a tyre with one load rated to at least the same rating as the lowest fitted to that model in Australia (i.e. 98).

Im pretty impressed with these new Yoko's though, grip seems the same, but the sidewalls are definately stiffer than the Yoko's. They are quieter too, and have deeper tread compound.

hey fellas just wanting your advice, ive found this set of 20'' vertini henesseys 8.5'' width, would they fit my cu2 lux and what would be the chances of rubbing once lowered with a eibach pro-kit? and any other problems i should take into account?

What offset? I have only ever seen them in 35 offset which would make you illegal. I doubt you would get them under the guards without rolling, you would be coming out 20mm in offset and a further quarter inch in wheel width.

If you are considering lowering you will need an engineers certificate, otherwise illegal in NSW.

Sorry, not trying to rain on your parade, just think its better to dive in with your eyes open.

It would look sick mate... shouldn't be a problem with the right offset.
Might need to roll the guards, but there is plenty of room under there.

Best would be to go to ozzy - tempe - where ever for a test fit when the time comes.

TO: ALBII

im going to be completely very very.. and way tooo honest...

You used to own a silver euro... CL9... car itself is great. But from what i remember correctly.. u had BSA rims on. which i think looks like shit on the car.
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h86/Albii/Picture345.jpg

Now u upgraded yourself to a brand new Euro CU2, and congrats cause it won wheels car of the year. But seriously... the wheels you have on now is a piece of shit.

Conclusion
U have great taste in cars but U have no taste on wheels, like you said on the other thread, http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119753&page=2
"To me ,throwing $5000 wheels at a in your case $15,000 car isn't justifiable.
And if you think it makes your car worth any more ,think again."

Now if i was to change your words.. that $5000 wheels is any of WORK, RAYS, ENKEI wheels in 19 or 20inch. and that $15,000 car you were referring to was an Accord Luxury 2004 which brand new cost about $40,000.

Lets change ur setence so that it makes more sense why people spend big money on wheels.

"To me, throwing a 19inch WORK Wheels at a in your case an Accord Luxury isnt justifiable. And if you think it makes your car worth anymore, think again"

Here my version of what i think about cheap wheels on Wheels car of the year.

"To me, throwing a poor quality, heavy ass wheels at a in your case CU2 'Wheels car of the year' is just such a waste. If CU2 came with wheels like you currently have on it would NOT HAVE WON Wheels COTY
And if you still think that its not a waste... think again!"


and then tell me what was the honda euro built to compete with? ;)
It's funny that is250's and g36's are the same price as the tsx in the states..... yet they twice the price here.

You really are Type R Positive.. *in Borat's accent* "Capital R for Reeetaardation" only someone like Borat would compare a GS with a Euro and say that Euros is just as good... seriously, A euro would be the top of the range sedan Honda makes, and GS would be one of the top of the range sedan lexus makes. its only fair that you compare the 2 top of the line models from Lexus and Honda. Simply Euro and GS.

Ill tell you what the Honda euro was built to compete with, this was from the 2009 Honda Accord Euro CU2 review
"Premium mid-sized cars like the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat will compete against the new Accord Euro from Honda"
Now tell me which Honda car review did you read that states the Honda Euro was built to compete with Lexus IS or GS.?

Why compare price in the States which is on the other side of the country + maybe because the Yanks love their American Muscles and maybe that could be why the price of lexus there has dropped.
Why not compare price in Japan which is closer to home, the difference with Lexus GS and an Accord Euro.

Heres a link to a detailed Spec of the Lexus GS and please tell me in which area the Euro is better in.
http://www.lexus.com/models/GS/detailed_specifications.html

So ALBII please tell me... actually dont tell me... because you obviously dont know how to review a car. Please ALBII give us A LINK to a website, a car review between the EURO and the Lexus GS which states that the EURO WHOLLOPES the Lexus In all areas. Because its only fair if you compare one the top of the line Sedans from each car make. in this case EURO VS GS. or LEGEND VS ES

And for your information.. The Lexus that [IV 23 VI] would rather get than the new euro is a Lexus GS. Correction [IV 23 VI] is selling his accord and IS GETTING A Lexus GS.

Accord euro are a great VALUE luxury car, but you can't say with complete conviction that they're anything to be compared with a IS250. yes, both cars are seemingly similar, but are aimed at completely different markets. hence why you see 30 cu2/cl7/cl9 on the roads everyday and a lot less IS250.

both cars are not within the same price bracket for a reason. fact.

in terms of wheels, i agree with Rein, wheels for cars should be price relevant. for instance if you've bought a brand new $45K + car like the CU2 does it really do it justice to throw cheap wheels and tyres on? if anything you've reduced the quality of the car in doing so. spending 2K on wheels and tyres for myself for instance as I drive a 2000 Accord is more feasible as my car is only worth sub 11K.

would love to see a IS250/GS/G36 vs Accord Euro comparison to back up some of the previous statements.

carry on... just my 2 cents :)

Your car may appeal to the pre puberty era , but that doesnt mean it appeals to everyone.
YOUR car looks CRAP, is too low and has stupid camber that just screams WANK.
Why don't you take a leaf out of Chris f book and act like a mature enthusiast rather than a little wanker.

In your opinion, reins car is "crap", the majority of ozhonda already owned u in the other thread, if you don't like it, gtfo.

Hey shitface....I only posted cos rein verbally attacked 2 pages ago....Take your painted eyes off and have a look.

He then made a thread to post everything in there and let ozhonda decide, go post your unwanted opinions in there.

All you seem to do is call people names, getting cut are we?

Back to topic, the two first CU2's posted by type r positive look awesome!

TO REIN....only posting this as you are such a tough guy on the internet.
Rein ,get over yourself..
You put a set of wheels and some suspension on your car and think you and all you stand for makes sense and nothing else..
Heres something for you to consider..
Your car has 130,000 km on it..Yes you've driven around the world a couple of times..
By this stage your car should have had some extensive panel work as well as some sort of engine and auto trans issue.
Get over it . Just because a couple of 20 yo tell you your car is awesome doesn't mean it ACTUALLY is...What i would like to honestly know is how many smartarse remarks have been thrown your way whilst driving your christmas tree? LOL black roof..
Your car may appeal to the pre puberty era , but that doesnt mean it appeals to everyone.
YOUR car looks CRAP, is too low and has stupid camber that just screams WANK.
Why don't you take a leaf out of Chris f book and act like a mature enthusiast rather than a little wanker.
Have you seen Chris fs euro...Personally shits all over yours but he doesnt go posting pics and bites everytime someone makes a negative comment about his car..Why? cos he don't care and has a lote more maturity than you could ever dream about.
If you think your cars the shit, that's great, cos i think its just shit with sooo many add ons to try hide the fact its getting old.
While your cruising in your 6 yo car with 130,000 kms on it and your vip wannabe boy racer spec car, the guy in the brand new 09 CU2 with wheels not as good as yours is laughing at you cos for one..You should have bought an EVO. Or 2 ..you should have bought a manual....loooooooool


Thanks Albii... ill listen to your advice and try to be more mature.. Im not going to reply to your comments on here from now on... as i do not want to ruin this thread... but heres a link to a thread dedicated to you by a 22yr old who has no taste in mods. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=119835

Keep those pics coming Type R Positive.!

The CL9 did much better, also most people who had or have a CL9 dont really like the CU2 so they havent bothered to upgrade.

Yeah , i thought the same thing till i drove it...the gulf in refinement and overall build and quality is quite noticable.
Btw, some people who bought the 03 to 08 euro may be using it as a stepping stone in their car life and have moved on to bigger and better things post euro.
If i didn't have property a bike and a work truck to worry about, i may have done that also, but the CU2 is hard to pass up for the money..makes the 320i ,A4 and c200 seem overpriced.
Also ATJO...The CL9 and CU2 have 2 totally different looks..CL9 more sporty 4 door as opposed to CU2 more classy.

LOL albii... For me, it's the other way around... sorry for CL9 owner, but for me the CL9 looks a bit "bapak bapak" car and the CU2 is somewhat sportier. but hey, its only my opinion :p

oh, but if you modded the looks of CL9 like atjo or alfa did, that's different story... :thumbsup:

man i wouldnt be comparing the cu2 to a 320i. they are in 2 different categories in my opinion. Ive driven both the cu2 and a 320i and call me a snob but i would choose the bmw any day of the week.

Oh trust me I was consistently whinging to them but all I could do was wait for the fix. It just got too much, I didnt buy a new car to have a pinging sound.

Hence the reason why Im so skeptical why it got voted 'Car of the year' or whatever when Honda have had this pinging issue over alot of cars in the 1 and 1/2 yrs the CU2 been out.

I have a Subaru now and love it

LOL, and that is why Honda OZ took all Euro advertisement for a while (any1 notice? no euro ad on drive paper, on cars guide, etc). They just start advertising euro again in the past couple of months...

hey guys

a mate of mine put 20" 8.5 on his cu2 lux offset +35
he wants to put h&r's on them
i said he needs to roll his gaurds or get a more conservative drop like eibachs
i said if he puts h&r's on them they will be some scrubbing issues
just need someone else's opinion
i have never rolled my guards so how much would he be looking at?
