Finally posting my car

I'm satisfied with the exterior. I think Hondata will be next.

Now their too small...

Looks good though. Never was a real fan of mesh wheels, but they do look good on your car...

Lookin' good Joe
Those wheels look really nice on your car.
Can't wait to see them in person.

So what's the final offset on those?

Thanks Rich!
19x8...Originally 40 offset. I requested them to be shaved to 43 or higher but am pretty sure they are only up to 42mm.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm really pleased with the way the wheels turned out. Funny how I do this for a living but had the hardest time picking out a wheel for myself! The wheels are Privat Netz in stone gray. The gray is a very flat color with an almost matte texture to them. The tires are 235/35-19 Michelin PS2's.
Cobalt the Tanabe's are nice! Although I'm wondering if a dampening adjustment would have been the better way to go. Too late (for now).
Heres that sideshot request:

Great combo. Is that the '06 OEM body kit? Much nicer than '04/'05.
The contrast on the wheels is kick-ass.

So this kit is "EuroR" and not A-Spec? I get confused too easily with these things; I suppose I shall forever stay stock. In any event, I do like your wheels -- not overbearing or aggressive -- and the colors, I think, would look good on carbon gray.

That side shot is great. I'm telling you guys, the IS lines do not resolve themselves nearly as elegantly as do the TSX's, particularly anything aft of the B pillar. And elegance need not be synonymous with elongated.

And whereabout are you in socal? Looks like OC.

It's about time for you to get some wheels, Joe. Nice looking wheels.

Now, your car looks like my EuroR in GT4 (wish I have a pic online).

Thanks Vincent! Your car was the inspiration for me to get a TSX in the first place. I first saw it in the parking lot of that Toyota test drive event and told my friend right then, "Damn this car is sweeeeet, and low! I have to have one."
