PICS: RonJon Wheels On CL!!!

At the shop:





Side shots:



They look larger than 18s, someone at the gas station asked if they were 19s. In the past few hours I've already tallied 4 compliments from drivers at stoplights.

Tonight, I'm taking some high-res shots at the top of a local parking structure, surrounded by glass buildings, should be interesting.

Thanks guys!

The pictures were unplanned, sorta just drove around and staked some spots out before the sun went down.

NOLACLS: The tint is from c-c-c.net. It's the darkest one available, I don't know what % it is. I have a DIY here: http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...light=DIY+tint

I'm going to try some more rural shots tomorrow morning. Keep you guys posted.

Keep the comments coming....

Thanks for the comments on the pictures guys, I really could have been better The shadows, lighting, white balance, and saturation is all wrong. I have an eye for photos, but I was being lazy this evening I'll try to take much better ones (I wish it was cloudy actually).

Tires are Sumitomo HTRZ II 235/45/WR18 220 AA A - Special Order from Tire Rack
This is my 2nd set of the same tires, I had an awesome experience with them in the past on my Jetta; although they don't get great mileage (20K on my last car), they are SUPER sticky once you warm them up.

I’m usually not a fan of chrome rims but I love the way they look on your CL.

Hot ride man.

Today's Shoot

Some didn't come out quite right, these shots were shot by two of my buddies, excellent photog's, it was just a bit rushed today. My friends forgot to set their shutter speed correctly : so movement is not quite so.... "shown".

Nice rims man, sweeeet-

I too get people asking me if my Servos are 19s, they have an awesome look.

How do you like your 235/45/18s? I have the 235/40/18, and wonder if I should have gotten the 235/45s, hmmm...

Woops, I meant 235/40 I love them! The tread on the tires looks very aggressive and they're real sticky, I'll wait until after break-in time and then I'll have some fun.

I'm gonna open up a new page on my site for indeividual members who have wheels on their car, so its like a featured car for every customer with a list of your mods, liek an interview. once again, looks HOT, and those tires go great with the car. realworld pics of the 19" inspyres are on the website, for whoever asked about them...

By the way, those photos are as good as it gets, thanks again.
