New Shoes! RPF1's!
Finally got my new wheels on. I got them on the BM here but I've been on vacation and working a lot lately so I haven't had time to take pictures of them. Finally had some time today to take pics.
Specs: 18x9 +35 all around. Tire size is 225/40/18 all around. All fenders were rolled and ever so slightly pulled. Enjoy.
Don't worry about the blue valve stems. They came with the wheels, I just haven't had time to take them off yet.
Let me know what you guys think.

Very nice indeed! Absolutely love the stance and great fit.
Love your ride 110%! I like the plain flush look.
I have always had a reaaaaaaaally soft spot for the RPF1's. I would love to have a spare set at home as a replacement for my vs-xx once in a while

are the Acura center caps a direct fitment or did you do anything to make them fit?
Looks great, I've been wanting to get these for my TSX as well (17s though)....

Thanks! And nah man, I like my tuner lugs. I'm not really a fan of putting those crazy colored lugs. But who knows, maybe I'll get some black lugs when I get my calipers powder coated black.
The center caps are a direct fit. You just need to sand down the center caps that you're going to put in the front since that bolt on your front hub sticks out a bit. In the rear it's no problem at all. Just pop them in and your good to go.
And thanks!
And thanks!

Thanks!
And I know what you mean about them looking small. They give off the appearance of a 17 inch wheel because of lip. That's why I lowered the car more to make it look better. And they look WAY better in person. My picture taking sucks!

Thanks!
My buddy did them for me. After rolling your fenders, with the same tool used to roll your fenders, you keep going back and forth and applying pressure (with a heat gun heating up the fender as you go back and forth) little by little. Just have a friend there to push against the fender while your pushing the other way, so you don't apply too much pressure and pull your fenders too much. You wouldn't want that. The key is having patience and doing it little by little. You can't rush it. If you do, it will come out like crap.

UPDATE
Finally got a chance to give the car a good wash and take a couple of pictures (really busy with school work). I also painted the calipers black, got some black gorilla lug nuts, and installed that hide away license plate thingy.
Pics:
And I finally got a better camera as you can see.
I'm still missing a couple of things (A-Spec side skirts and other little things) but I'm doing my best for someone who is saving for a wedding lol. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks amazing. Always loved those rims. Great work on the car overall.

After I get the side skirts, and switch the front lip to the Euro-R lip, I'll be pretty much done with the exterior. I will start my work on the mechanical part. I'll be doing a manual swap first. Then I plan on superchargering her. Hopefully everything works out the way I'm planning.
