The only difference i feel is that I get A LOT better traction now! There is NO MORE spinning through 1st and 2nd. These wheels do no justice in pictures, they look so much better in person on the car. All my friends at first said, "your spending THAT MUCH on those wheels? I dont think they look THAT great.." Now they cant stop staring at my car and telling me how amazing those wheels look on it

I would be lucky getting 10k out of the NT05's....besides, I got a good deal on these Neo Gen's and the traction is great. The biggest reason why i got these neo's is that they are the lightest tire in that size....23 lbs. Im hoping by filling them up with helium i'll be the first car in orbit

You would'nt be able to follow me even if you threw a supercharger on your car All the pics are taken from my phone. The first set of pics I messed with the color to make it look cooler, but nothing fake about them.

Thanks! But unfortunately a BBK wouldnt fit with these wheels on here....so those are just Plastic Caliper covers. I had them on all calipers but had to take the front ones off because the rims wouldnt fit. You have no idea how many people would compliment on my "Brembo Brakes"...only if they knew they were fake. lol

Man I was wondering how you got one to work in the rear. Now my hopes are up for nothing lol. Get a real bbk so you can actually get the real benefits

I agree although it could just be the pictures and the angles they are taken at.

^Because its happy to see you.

Wheels look good. Good choice on the offset too. High offset RPF1s have ugly faces.

Because he put the mdx spacer. The hood won't shut with it so he had his customized to fit.
