The RJ rims seem to have magical lowering powers. Every car I've seen them on look lower than stock.

It took me a good hour to find the right place/time/orientation, and I took 86 pictures in total.

I did these in a small industrial park not far from my place, when the sun was going down. The first one and the last one are taken in the shade of a building when the sun was pretty low, this is probably the best time to take pics of the front of the car. I find that the back and side looks good in most lighting conditions. In the shade with low light is when you can get these high contrasts like in the first pic.

You have to find a nice plain background, you don't want trees "growing out of your car" type of stuff. It's harder than it seems, I had to move the car dozens of times.

At the end, get photoshop, resize, sharpen and adjust the lighting levels. I'm sure somebody already posted a "how to take good pictures" thread with much better tips at one point.

Thanks Dan. They are definitely good replacement for the stock wheels. I especially like the hubcentric design.

i'd like to see chrome 18 inch Inspyres on a black TSX. In most situations i'm not a big fan of chrome but i personally think black on chrome always looks mint.

Awsome pics, I'm sure you won't mind seeing your car in a future issue of Honda Tuning as an ad or Suoer Street. I plan on expanding the advertising once I am comfortable with spending that much money on the ads. I like the mixture of light that you've achived on the paint, Silver wheels on Silver Paint ownz.

I think that the 6-speed V6 coupe has the same size, offset, and bolt pattern that we have.

funny you ask, the second shipment is already on its way, and the 4 x 114.3 42 offset, 64.1 centerbore (hubcentric) are included. So give me a month or so to get here, I already have a few photoshoots with some acura CLs, first gens. Exentually we will have a wheel that fits everything from the Honda Insight to the Acura NSX. And body kits too.

Awesome. I won't be able to buy until sometime in late January, so you still have time to get the wheels. I need to try photoshopping them on my car to make sure I like them. They are so hot on the tsx.
