Damn, these would look sick on a black or white CL... but im having a tough time seeing this work with ABP. Any photo choppy experts come up with a quick pic? Or rondog, can you see these working with the ABP seeing that you have and see these first hand?

Thanks for everything!!

Thats funny i just went from a White tC to a Silver CL-S, tC is too unsafe, i had one w/o side air bag option, no abs available, no traction control available and stock 18s with p zero nero tires. Looked hot as hell tho like $19k with the wheels... CL feels much heavier and safer even tho the tranny issues are not typically acura-esque... By the way those ravens are gorgeous, for some reason i think they'd be beautiful on a Maxima...

Would it be difficult for a wheel shop to make my Inspires look like that?

hmm, i'm not sure if i like the look of these on teh CLs. they look almost too "sharp" for the smooth lines of the CL.


regardless, still love these wheels though.

Don't forget,. the rotor and caliper would break up the area behind the wheel. And the lighting would change the style a bit.

besides, the CL is a simple design, so is the Inpsyre raven black.

Looks damn nice.

BTW Rondy, I'm back home for a few days. I managed to fix the front kit, looks 1000% better. But afterwards, I took off a nice chunk of paint hitting a concrete block when parking I came home not knowing how to drive or park... haha

Tell you the truth, they are proportioned exactly the right size for 19", I lined up the lug nuts on these wheels and the servos that were on the car, I actually had this wheel sitting next to the car when i took the pic. Its the blackewd out spoke sides that make the wheel look huge...

go here and call the canadian dealer, they have the best pricing by far, they import, ship and include taxes and duty for about $250 usd on top of the regular price (estimated). Considering shipping alone cost upwards of $150, that is an awesome deal, better than anything i could offer you.

Oh, almost forgot, her eis the finished CGI for our other 2007 wheel, the Legend, the one we use to build the Molds. So this is 99% accurate as to how the wheel will look. We had to strengthen the spoke neck, to make the joint as strong as possible.

No lip on this wheel, what you are seeing is actually a small face protector, not even 3 mm , not enough to call it a lip. Reason being that we wanted to have BBK clearance and a largter diameter face style with the spokes traveling all the way to the edge. We are working on the 3rd wheel which will have a deep lip in 19", possibly a devotion cast version.

Best wheels on a 2nd Gen since LB's Moda's IMO.

Well, some people like wheels becasue of specific characteristics, and even tho we want to put a lip on our wheels, the reasons for not doing it are:
1.) it makes the diameter look smaller due to the shorter spoke length
2.) BBK clearance is prefered over a small lip
3.) 50+ offset makes it difficult to have any kind of lip more than 1-1.5" lip
4.) Its sort of the trend, and we are motivated by design, not just popular trends
5.) Non-lip enngineered wheels are stronger structurally due to the direct support
6.) Notice that 99% of the OEM wheel designs don't have a lip for the above resons, besides its almost like the unwritten rule among designers in the auto industry to make the wheels have a Monoblock design for one piece, and rivets / lip is reserved for 3 piece wheels. Hence the Devotion-3pF design with a phat 2.5" lip.

Just thought I'd explain the situation.
Good news is that Even tho a majority of our wheels are lipless, We are planning on making the Devotion a 1 piece design Pressure cast, since the forged version has run out of blank forgings (supplies). Due to the demand, we are forced to replace it with something more under our control.
