Out with the old....



...In with the new:













And of course, the gratuitous ass shot:



19x8.5 RonJon Devotions (older forged version) 3 piece wheels. The lips are staggered. The rivets on the black wheel actually make them look smaller then my old Legends. The centers are powdercoated flat black and the lips are gloss black. Im running 235/35-19 Kumho Ecsta SPT tires on them. The offset is +40mm, and the rear rub only on extreme corners. My fenders are not currently rolled.

The car is filthy and I suck at taking pictures. Deal with it

Id love to lower it more, but for now Im going to leave it as-is. All this construction theyre doing is not being kind to my suspension. I need to do a serious detail one of these days, but Ive been driving out to Chesapeake every day for 12 hours

BTW, did I drop one of the lug nuts at your house? I only have 19. I may have lost it in the truck though. No big deal, Im using my other lugnuts right now anyways.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I love them. Chris gave me a damn good deal on these. You guys can call me a trader, but I like his 3g TL more then the CL

Im not sure what Im doing with the Legends yet. I may hold on to them, or my brother may buy them from me.

Not sure what happened to your lug nut. I can PM you where to get another one as well as valve stems (although those are brand new).

Thanks for the compliment! The wheels look better on your car!

Cool. Funny thing, the place that installed the tires broke one of the valve stems

I called Rondy and he told me to where I could get them. The shop ordered it for me and theyre going to fix it. Right now Ive got a normal valve stem on the passenger side front.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Looking at the pics again, particularly the front, I realized that the front does need to be lower. Maybe this weekend I can take care of that As of right now, Im off from work tuesday through friday of next week, so I should have plenty of time to polish it

Its summer, all the trees should be in full bloom

I need to find out if my brother wants them. He wants to test fit them sometime soon. I need to make room in the garage also, so the 215/35-19s that came on these wheels will be in the BM as soon as I take some pics. Theyre basically brand new.

Yea, they're barely tinted. 50% in the front, 35% in the rear. Its dark enough in the day, but I can still see at night. My old Prelude had 18% all around and driving on these dark country roads was not fun.

I lowered the front yesturday to give it a more aggressive stance. It helped alot. Im not sure if I want to lower the whole car more. Ill wait till I roll the fenders and go from there

Thankyou, but I gotta thank ludachrisvt for the color scheme.

I actually got a flat yesturday. The passenger front is leaking air somehow. I just had the shop replace the valve stem, so hopefully its that thats leaking and not the bend that I just noticed the other day. Im batting 1.000 this past week with this fucking car.

I took it back to them and they ran a bead of silicone around the seam. Its been holding air for the past few weeks with no issues. If it does become an issue though Ill let you know.
