Just got my new wheels put on this weekend along with the new exhaust tips. I had the front lip repainted and then I put the xpel clear bra on it so it won't scratch so easily. Also finished detailing the car so I took some pics, what do u think...

Lookz Good! i like those rims I think you should mesh ur fog holes as well, to go with the grille! which rims are those btw?

rrdy

nice!

Assman

Thanks!!. Those are 18s Akuza sublime's. I thought about doing the lower fog holes but I'd have to take of the bumper. I may one day tho...

is it just me or are the slotted rotors on the wrong sides?

@cUr@-TL

they're on the good side... i have mine put on the wrong side (the way you thought was correct).. the only difference is that the pad dont grip as much as they would but it'S not that different. the pad will wear faster if the rotors are installed the correct way (like assman's)

imo the rotors look better the wrong way. (the slots in the pic are like this \ but i think they'd look better like this / )

nice car btw

are those 18x8 and what kind of offset?

Assman

They are actually 18x8.5 with a +45 offset

damn 8 1/2? do you have any rubbing on the inside when you turn?

Assman

It was rubbing in the rear so I cut out the tabs in the back and now it seems fine. I thought I heard something up front during a turn but I didn't see any marks on the tire. I just have to drive it more and see...

8.5" rim with +45 offset. Damn I'm running 8" with a +50 offset and they are just inside the wheel well.

Assman

NSXNEXT, do u have any rubbing issues with ur wheels?

Looking good! Consider taking the 3.2 TL off the trunk, and tinting the orange turn signal lenses in the front.....just a thought!

looks nice...what exhaust tips are those? 3A racing?

indoMFP

Looks tight, hard to believe that there is no rubbing.... but tight nonetheless....

goldendragon576

looks nice. Some tints, debadging and light clearing will make your car even nicer! Good job!

Type S Lady

Very nice and clean, you go boy!

Assman

Yeah, they are the 3A racing ones. To be honest, they look much better in person than the pics show. My friends thought I put a completely new exhaust on there but it's just the tips.

The tires are rubbing a little in the front and I'm trying to figure out if I can limit the suspension travel at all by changing out the struts. Not sure if that would work or if it's at all possible.

Thanks for the compliments everyone

********UPDATE***********

Ok, I went back to the place I bought the wheels from today and the guy admitted they made a mistake with the 18x8.5 wheels. He clearly saw that they were rubbing so I put my stock wheels back on and he is ordering me a set of Panther Valera's 18x7.5 +45 offset. Should be here in about 3-4 weeks since they are a brand new wheel from Panther. So will this size and offset fit now without any rubbing issues?

Here's a pic of the new wheels I should be getting soon:
