Lowering it is probably on the list. Nothing aggressive. Just a functional low. They need a 60 size tire to help fill the gap. I really want some UA7 TL waffles, UA7 base wheels, or UA5 fat fives. Or find some better wheels for the GFs Camry so I can take my civic wheels back lol. I also should’ve swapped my coupe wheels off before I sold it. They even had a decent set of A/S tires on them.

**EDITED OP** Finally. Added pics and updated info.
I have a set of UA7 base wheels with pretty much brand new tires sitting in my shed. They are kinda beat with peeling plastidip and some rash. I bought them off a friend when I blew a tire on the freeway a few years back. They were supposed to be on my Accord had I not retired it from winter duties. Not sure how far from Michigan you are though.

You’re talking about the “Patrick star” wheels, right?

Like this?

I’m *AT LEAST* 600 miles from Michigan so even if you gave me the wheels for free I’d still spend a few hundred bucks (and 2 days) in gas.

Assuming they were free… I’d be down for a road trip

Wow 600 miles is a hike. Unfortunately I'd like at least 200 back just for the tires. I might just throw them on the TLS come winter since the nittos I have on it right now are garbage in wet weather

Power steering started going. Pump’s had a slow leak since I bought it. Don’t have the money or gumption to replace it so I just bought a few quarts of Honda fluid and a suction pump and just did a reverse drain & fill. Lol. Sucked out the reservoir, filled it with fresh, ran the wheel lock to lock a few times, rinse & repeat. Whine is almost gone and I don’t need 2 arms to turn, lol.

Always on the lookout for wheels but they either aren’t out there or people want $600 for a beat set.

Tires that came on the blades have just the slowest leaks. Putting air in them maybe once a month. Torn between buying tires for them or waiting to see if I can find something else. Still looking for a set of TL base, TL waffles, or the fat fives that came on the earlier TL/CL.

Otherwise nothing new happening.
