32mm offset on an 8" wide wheel isn't enough, maybe you will have to look a spacers or adapters, the kind that bolt on and give you a hubcentric application, and 20mm or more.

Chrome version will only be seen once production is over, waiting for a single wheel to be chromed would delay things for a while and hold up production. I would assume they would look nuts in full chrome.

howcome the front wheels dont have any type of lip while teh back does? i think the front with a small lip and the back with a little deeper staggered look would set it off to perfection.

That was experimental, and its really to accomodate the big brakes on the TL more than anything. We've gotten mixed responses but overall, people like it because its different. My initial belief is that it should have a big lip or no lip, ya know.

I think so too, chrome will set it off. I like this wheel because it's very exclusive, 3" lip on a front wheel drive car, and it fits on the front. Speaking of exclusive have you ever seen anyone put your wheels on anything other than a honda/acura vehicle?

just a few Lexus and toyota guys, but just by chance.

Regarding the 3.5" lip up front and rear, I actually used the OEM brakes as a baseline to where the back of the spokes would land without interference.

Weighed the wheel and tire combo of the 20", and it came out to 49.5 lbs, almost as light as the 17" stock wheel and tire setup.

here's one more shot...

Yeah, 49.1 pounds is pretty dam light for a 20" rim and tire.

One stock 17" rim and tire weighs about 42 - 43 pounds, i sold mine last month and that was the weight that FedEx took for me.

One legend 19" rim with 235-35-19 tire should weigh pretty dam close to the same as the OEM 17" with 245/45/17 tire i would imagine.

Cant wait to get mine they look great

No way that is the case with the stocvk 17" wheel and tire, I weighed them in at 48.8 lbs, check it out, same scale as the one I used for the 20" wheel and tire:

My only concern for is the tire profile, slants in a little. If at all possible, try the Nitto 555 235/35 20, might have to raise it up a bit. THIS WHEEL IS SICK!

At this point, with 20", tire profile takes a back seat to style, because its basically a baller wheel, all about showing off. However, i have been riding on 19" front, 20" rears for the past 2 years, and I love it, never bent a wheel and rides like 19". I'm seriously considering making a 20" version for the front with caliper clearance for the Rotora BBK and a smaller lip, but same 20" x 8.5" and 52mm offset.

If you're going to go staggered, the front needs a little lip. Otherwise the wheels completely clash IMO.

yeah man i totally agree with you. if they don't have any lips in the front it will just kill the balling style..... and beside they should make more varity of size on those kinda rims with higher offset and big deep lips. if they come in 18 and 19 i'll be buying a set on my cl for sure ....because i been looking for those baller wheel with the deep lips like those rear wheel drive hahahaha

19" will be re-released with a 2" lip version to match the 20" Legend Type II with the deep lip for those who need caliper clearance up front.

Good news, they came in around 10:oo am, we unloaded them and spent the whole friggin day sending out all the orders. UPS had to send another truck to accomodate the 100+ boxes that went out, 3 local customers came by and picked up.
Wheels look awesome, the 32mm offset looks crazy because the center is sooo dropped down since the offset is lower.

Liquid Silver Looks very nice, almost like a polished surface.

So everyone except a handfull of people are taken care of and in transit. pics coming soon, after I take a small nap and have dinner.
Some people called in sick today of all days, so I had to get down and dirty with the workers and get the wheels off the container and all shipped out. I just watched "Over the Hedge" and sleept a bit just to get some energy back.

So I shot the Liquid Silver really quick, and its hard to see, but the finish is almost like a polished surface, pretty neat becasue the surface is really a paint, not a buffed surface. Almost looks like Billet slightly worn down and clear coated, very custom looking and durable I might add.


enjoy!
