RonJon Servos are on the ride-

Finally, I got my Servos on! I have Bridgestone Potenza RE750, 235/40/18.

I need to take some daytime pics, but until the TWO tropical depressions pass through DC it looks like it will have to wait until next week.








I will clean the car, and post some better pics when I can. The rims look HOT in the daylight, with the brilliant silver finish-

I can't get 2 fingers in my wheel well but it's a little more than a 1 finger gap in there. I've found that all of our drops are slightly different.

No offense rondog, but I didn't like the wheels on your car. Now that I've seen them on a car with a stock body, like mine, I really like them.

Nice work.

I owe Ron a thank you!! Great design, you have done a great job-

I cannot wait for a nice day to wax the car and take more pics!

My Comptech springs are lower than normal. Just yesterday after taking off my stock tires, I noticed some uneven wear on the inside. Took my car for an alignment yesterday, and the front camber was still in spec, but my rear was -1.76 left and -1.21 right. Time for a rear camber kit. I was thinking of getting an SPC kit from CRW in Capitol Heights, $62 each side. Any other suggestions?

Grey they look HOT! Hope you don't mind but I'm 95% sure I'm buying the same rims before the end of the month. Can't wait to see them in person.

guys, you have been nothing but great support, and I am greatfull. Makes me feel better about committing to Acura vehicles. I am working my hardest on remaining loyal to the brand and it's enthusiasts, so i will be introducing new styles as soon as I get the oppurtunity. Funny, but i get calls and requests by all my potential distributors to open up then centerbore and lower the offsets, but the members in this board helped me make my decission to keep it the way it is.

Wow, those look awesome on the car. Excellent choice! My wheels have been on back order for almost 3 months...if it takes much longer I may go with some RonJon's wheels.

send me some nice photos and i can show you what 19" chrome would look liek on your car, and sponsorship would be option to some degree. I've always liked the level of enthusiasm youve brought to your car.

I believe it'll cost you $125/wheel. Shop around though, they aren't the only powder coaters out there that can apply a "black chrome" finish. A local shop here in Maryland charges $90/wheel.

WOW, they look great on Anthracite

I have an anthracite myself and I never thought I'd like silver wheels on it but I guess I was wrong. Those wheels look HUGE for 18s. my car is on a comptech drop with 18s and 235\40\18's (same size tires as yours) but for some reason your car looks alot lower than mine and those rims look like 19s.
