Yes - will fit perfectly. Why would you bother though- the shipping cost would be high - and these are just basic cast rims. You may as well buy aftermarket 17"/18" rims in Australia.

What about the 17" euroR rim? anyone knows if it is a lightweight rim?
I think if you are going to order the 17" acura rim, might as well just order the 17" euroR rim, looks nicer, and I think the price would be similar. :D
Of course that is if it fits. :confused:

i'd have to agree the euro-r rims are a lot nicer than the tsx ones, more agressive, if u find them, let me know how much they are and if they are lightweight ;)

Euro R rim will also fit perfect - it is a beautiful looking rim. Some people on the US TSX sites are importing it from Japan - it is not cheap though. They have paid around the same price as lightweight Jap rims like Volks, etc.

The Euro R rims are cast rims - may be marginally lighter than stock rims but still not as light as forged Volks, etc.

Thanks for the input guys, only reason i asked was because i saw a set on Ebay in the US going cheap, they went for $420US which nothing, and for that price they're ok.

postage was $168US.

Yeah, if anyone know where you can get Euro-R rims from, please post.

Dude - the Euro R rims cost a bomb! These guys sell them for $508US each! Add shipping onto that and you are looking at some very expensive cast rims.

I emailed japanparts but it was to hard. They wanted

- VIN(Chassis) Number,
- Model Number, and
- Engine Code

even before handing over a quote. And the car must be JDM, Honda Japan wont sell externally.

Better find a set of rims locally at import wreckers. There are a few Accord & DC5Rs running JDM 17" rims. These wheels do look nice.

Yeah your right, $508usd each is a bit rich for OEM rims, no matter how good they are.
