From what I can see, it looks pretty good. I suggest getting the OEM Kit though if you don't have it already (from the pics it doesn't look like you do)

OK. You live in Huntington Beach. THere's lots of sun. Please take a picture in the sunlight so we can really get a good luck at how the rims look on your car.

From what little is visible, I say keep the BBS. IMO, the Work rims look a bit too old school. BBS is old school too, but it looks more modern to my eyes than the VS-XX.

Looks good IMO. A kit would look better on the car as well. For some reason the TSX looks better with a lip kit after upsizing the wheels.

Those are very nice wheels and look good IMO. I know some people are not big sport mesh fans, but growing up and working around Indy Cars as I have, I love them. I do agree that a body kit would improve the look even more.

I went with the 18X7.5 ET48 Hyper Black PIAA's on my 05 NBP myself. These are heavier, but I liked the finish on them. However after installing them I found the painted finish PIAA used chipped really easily. I have since removed them and had the powder coated in a highly reflective Tiger Lac Product call "black chrome". It is a very cool gunmetal clear coat over a chrome base coat. I will probably re-install them on my new 06 CGP in the spring time. Stay with the BBS's

i wouldn't just get the front lip, the 3/4 shot of the car (arguably its best angle) looks really wrong. i think your car looks great with no body kit... but i guess you could try just the euro-R front lip as it sits higher then the OEM one?

I'm planning to do the same... Just the front lip. I think the front really needs a lip or a bumper kit to look meaner. The side body and rear would be a nice touch but not essential.. My

I've had BBS rims and 2 sets of Work rims. IMO, both are of equal quality in terms of construction, fit and finish. The determining factor should boil down to style preference. BBS tends to be more traditional and more of a Euro look. Work has a wider variety of designs and provides the JDM style.
