Nice wheels!

What's the point of staggered again?

Yea. I been running on 20s since I bought the car. I just needed a change and preferred to go Concave. I always liked Vossen CV3 but I needed some sort of chrome accent on the wheel so I went with Stance

I know staggered isn't recommended on AWD vehicles but I been running a staggered setup with my previous wheels as well.
I plan to do a photoshoot soon so I'll have some nice hi-res pics coming soon.
Until then.......gotta grab the iPhone lmao

Guilty!!

My other wheels weren't bad but it was time for a change. I wanted a bit more of a sporty look to compliment the sport-like add ons like my quad exhaust tips and blacked out emblems and grill

Let me know how the quality seems to be. We have stance on the integra but I wasn't sure that I would put them on a bigger body car.

If they quality is right though, definitely something to consider.

Regardless, I am sure they will look awesome =)

The idea to paint them white is in the air. Gotta see how it's gonna look with all the entire face machined.
I didnt want to put them on until I either painted my rotors/ordered Rotara's and ordered my new rotors but I
Plan to mount them and post pics ASAP busy on the job so I'll probably get to it on thurs

They should look interesting on the RL. They may be too thin of spokes.

Similar, but different

I meant paint the caliper. I haven't ordered either as yet. Im still debating on if I should do the BBK or go the cheaper route and order rotor and paint caliper.
This car is gonna have me on a ramen noodle diet for weeks!! LOL

I don't like those rims on that RL. If they end up looking like that, I either sell em asap or paint face only pearl white and leave the windows black

I like them, but something seems off with the rear wheels. Like they're more attractive looking than the front. I know they're stagged but still overall the same look. lol. just the front doesn't look as attractive. But you're still my fave RL hands down. You've made me want a white one now lol!

Thats the bittersweetness of staggered concave wheels. Being that the rear is 2 inches wider, the center sinks inside more. I would have went 10.5 all around but it wouldn't clear front caliper. The rear wheel always looks more aggressive on a staggered setup

My initial thought is that they look pretty darn good. Also no one has gone larger than 9" up front, and even they had to roll the fenders. You have to keep in mind turning the wheels inside the wheel well.

i'd need to see more pics.. but they look cool to me.

how much did they cost? if you sell them, can you get most of you money back or will you eat the cost of the tires?

as my good friend says, "it's expensive to be cool".

hey, I just scored a used set of 18" aspecs and I'm excited!! but i don't want 20s.. i want to keep OEM and only look "sort of" fixed up...

overall.. your car looks good. how about the wheels ambiguous had.. those were pretty sick!!

hmmmm. I lik'em I wouldn't say they look sickkkkkk. But they look good. I think wheels like this require a BBK Front and rear. Zelaya you should buy these.

I don't have $$$ to dish out on BBK right now but I agree with you. If somebody don't buy them, Im definitely painting my calipers @ least when my drilled slotted rotors come

Yo Bro. I heard about the new toy of yours!! I gotta come see it. Back to the rims, idk y I'm not feeling it on the whip. Maybe I'm missing the big rear lip and my rotors r rusted so thats turning me off as well. Wahile waiting for my rotors and calipers to be painted, I have the rims for sale
