Ya, i've seen styles like that. Usually, those cars don't open up their hood.... i don't know what engine mods they have, and ya, they have very nice sound systems....

Well, if the car is built for big rims, like the M6, and Ferraris and Lambos.... then, ya, it won't affect them much. BUt our cars are built for 17s.... so 19s are fine (look at Duzy) but with 20s....

it's like, putting 19s on a civic..... hahhaa!

Yea I am not a fan of the SSR wheels. I mean you could not go JDM and go PIMP instead with a set of HRE's or a set of IForged wheels instead.
HREs > Volks......hahaha....

i wish i can afford HREs man, a set of 19s ain't cheap!

from memory dzuy is selling his 19" te37 volks, i wonder if he still is? this could be a good option, but they're gold so you'd have to get them repainted.

but i think it's a good idea to avoid volks if you want to be unique, they are quite common. Some BBS mesh styled rims might look nice? I remember seeing a mugen TSX (the front bumper replacement kit) with some mesh style rims and it looked impressive.



Benz, if you take some photos of your car from a photoshop friendly 3/4 angle or perhaps even more side on i'd be able to up some quick photoshops of different style wheels on your car. - i'm gonna be in LA, Las vegas then vancouver for the next 3 weeks starting tommorrow tho... so maybe sometime after that
WOW man.... you are coming to Vancouver?? Well, hit me up with PM and maybe we can meet up!! and you can help me take some pics of my car.... of whatever angle you want... because seriously, i suck at photography!

yea man i am - i'll send you a pm about it

i'm in california atm been seeing disney land and been to hollywood/LA and universal studios for a bit over the last week. I've seen a couple of TSX's around- they really stand out on american roads IMO (as do a majority of the acuras) they just seem to have finer lines or something... can't quite put my finger on it. but so many cars are so big and bulky looking... the acuras/hondas seem to be more "lithe" if thats even a word...

me either yet.. but they are a similar design to the advan wheels on the blue euroR recently put up in the photogallery
