My bling bling is just about here! They finally got built, made it over from Japan and through customs. Jim over a tribalpacific.com was kind enough to take some pics for me. Can't wait till they get here!

Oh my. You're not making it easy for me to put off shopping for wheels. I was expecting 'em to at least be heavier than stock... Dammit. 
Get 'em on quick so we can see the final product.

HEY….Those look familiar. 
Very nice, but I prefer FULL CHROME.
Although 19’s are the choice for major BLING, I drive my car every day.
Even with the 18’s, my ride is pretty rough and I could never go 19.
Good luck and I hope you get them in time for Christmas.

PS….Lowenhart & Bersaglio are definitely made at the same place.
That company name on your box looked familiar, so I looked at my instruction sheet.
Check it out.

I don't think chrome looks good at all on silver... I only care for the look of chrome on darker colors and white on certain cars.

Now make sure you spray them with acid when you get them and set them in the sun for 8 hours..(advice of the Acura Professional Detailer-- BEHEILIG).LOL... j/k... take care of them and wash them like you wash your nut sack.... only soap and water!!!....lol...

dayyyummmmmm!!!
those are hot!
Its about time someone got REAL BR-5's.
I too agree that they look best in non-chrome. I prefer machined with a shiny lip.
Dont think that +50 means you can drop it all the way tho... you will rub on the inside like mad. My 19x8 +45 rub on the inside already...
