Hoping to fill the gap between the RSX Coupe and the slightly more upscale TL sedan, the TSX is an entry-level luxury sport sedan that will likely be most buyers' first Acura. Brands like Lexus and Infiniti have been a bit more adept at straddling the line between sport and luxury sedans while Acura has never really gotten the sport part right. The TSX certainly has a great start on its way to being a true sport sedan as it is based on the European Honda Accord, a car that is much different in form and function than the American Honda Accord. That Honda recognizes the vast differences between the American and European markets is just one indication the TSX is on the right track. Of course a powerful engine is key to a successful luxury sport sedan (just ask Nissan), but the fact that the TSX gets its power from a four-cylinder might seem odd for a luxury-branded car. A 2.4-liter, DOHC i-VTEC motor that makes its maximum power at 6,800 rpm doesn't seem like a power plant befitting a luxury car. Honda's 240-hp V6 would seem the perfect solution, but then again, we're not Acura engineers. On the other hand, the TSX's horsepower, torque and fuel economy numbers are right in line with such cars as the Audi A4 1.8T, BMW 325i and Mercedes-Benz C240. Acura states that the TSX cockpit is "driver-oriented" and as such the controls are set up to give the driver a "functional and natural feeling." Seats are sporty in nature and the instruments and gauges are large and easy to read so the driver can focus on driving. Designed to further enhance connectedness to the road, the drive-by-wire throttle pedal is bottom-hinged, which Acura says allows for "finer control." The TSX faces stiff competition from Euro sedans with a proven history and impressive pedigrees. As is typical for Acura, the TSX offers simple and smooth precision along with just enough sport thrown in to make the car interesting. If a fully loaded Honda is still too soft for you in the twisties, the TSX is eagerly awaiting your first venture into a luxury sport sedan.
We strive to continually bring you the largest selection of custom wheels and discount tires in the
nation at the lowest prices. Not only do we offer award-winning customer service but we also have a
skilled staff of technicians waiting to serve you with your custom wheel purchase. Our warehouses sell
our rims at savings up to 70% off of list prices and 30% less than our retail outlets. You can rest
assured knowing that all wheel and tire package fitments are verified with our technicians before ever
leaving our warehouse. Unless your car has been modified, all fitments are calculated off of the stock
specifications set forth for your vehicle. We use plus-sizing techniques to match up your new wheels
to stay as close to factory stock heights. In laymen\'s terms, you wheel gets bigger and your tire gets
smaller. If you are hesitant about a wheel and tire package purchase, allow us to mount and balance
the set and deliver it to your door ready to be installed onto your vehicle. We use state-of -the-art
hunter mounting and balancing equipment. When mounting we use chrome valve-stems, stick-on weights,
and road-force balancing equipment. We shrink-wrap and package the aftermarket wheels thoroughly for
shipping. All wheels and tires are insured during transit. If you are ordering wheel spinner adaptors,
they are generally shipped separately from the wheel for safety reasons. While we rely on our repeat
business from satisfied customers, we are always looking for new customers to add to our growing wheel
clientele. Do not settle for one of these fly-by-night companies on the internet that will nott be able
to promise what they deliver or provide service to you after the sale because they are no longer around.
We have been around for years and we plan on being around for many more years to serve our customers.
Just give us a call on our toll-free number!!
