All New RJ Harrow wheels on the CL, 20" & 18">>>>

Just got the all new for 2010 Harrow wheel in stock. First thing I did was shoot them in studio, then on the CL. Had to put the 255/35/18 tires on and those are first, the next batch are the 20" harrow with and without chrome inserts as signified in the bottom left corner. Also had the headlights black and cleared and the tail lights tinted for the no color body look.

Check it out, would love some feedback:








20" x 8.0" / 48mm offset Harrow wheels with 225/35/20 Nitto NeoGen Tires:




















18" x 8.0" / 48mm offset Harrow wheels with 255/35/18 Pirelli PZero Tires:

When I first saw these I didnt know what to think of them, but on the car they look great. Although I definately prefer them without inserts because they remind me of cheap, cheasy wheels and I think they have a cleaner look without them.

Definately look better on the car than in the pics of just wheel. Without the inserts is the way to go.

Funny thing is I wasn't feeling the inserts at first, but in person as you walk around the car, they really pop out without looking cheap. At least you can have them taken off the second you feel like you don't want them. You can also have them custom finished or wrapped in carbon fiber if you feel like a change. Darker colored custom finished inserts will not be that noticeable until you are right up on the wheel.

18" Harrow weighs about 25 lbs each, not exactly super light, but not heavy either, same as the 17" stock CL wheels.

20" weights 27.5 lbs, also not too heavy, but alot lighter than most other 20" wheels in the market.

Hmm, carbon fiber or maybe color matched to the wheel? Might make them work. I really like the wheels w/out them though, they look good just as is.

They kinda look like Work Varianza F2S but w/out the lip.

Face is too flat, need some lippage IMO.

wheels are a little too big in my opinion, especially for a cl, but hey some people like that look, and they are available in 18's anyways, so

BBK caliper clearance needs a flat face, and these are 48mm offset, to high to squeeze any kind of lip on there.

just edited some Harrows on other vehicles in the Honda / Acura liner, photoshopped in real size by overlaying the lug bolt holes to match the original pics wheels.

They look nice. But the big question for me is, what BBK do they fit over? I doubt theyll fit over mine.

Rotora 4 piston Caliper, Single piece rotor. I will measure the clearance left with this setup, but typically, this is as flat a face as can be (without the spokes coming out past the rim's edge), with a high enough offset to not rub ever with non-rolled fenders.

If you have the spec sheet of the barrel of the wheel, you can just send me that. I can make a scale cutout and measure that way.

I like them without the inserts, and Id like to see a few other finishes on them as well.

Thanks, no inserts seems to be the consensus.

I think the 20" wheels would look just right on the new accord and TL, those cars take 20" wheels with a suggested tire size of 245/35/20, which would minimize the illusion of being so big. We will have a pretty decent photoshoot in NY if anybody is interested in seeing, here's the link to the thread:

48mm front and back, with the option of 32mm offset for the rear to fill in the abnormally wide rear fenders.

Thanks, I thought the 20" look great, but on the newer Honda's and Acuras where they eat up 20" wheels with no problem.

The Accord definately needs low offset wheels. The stock wheels look absolutely stupid on it.

I know, trust me. Problem is staggered on FWD is not really logical, so same tire front to back and lower offset in the rear. Seems to be the issue with the New TSX and new TL. The front is good with the 48mm offset, but the rear, my goodness, what was Honda / Acura thinking?? the wheels look like they were plucked from the wrong vehicle. You'll NEVER see BMW, Audi or MB pull that off on any of their cars, seriously.

I'm not feeling the wheels at all on the CL. Maybe it's because that ugly ass front lip keeps getting in the way.
