NGM + black rpf1's

Couldn't bare to part w/ the car.. so I had to do something to make me smile when I went out to my car.. Those stockies sucked.

Less 10lbs of rotational mass on each corner while being 1.5" wider than stock.

rpf1's, 17x8 +45 w/ a meaty 235/45.. Acura center caps <3

Lots of bumper shaving & fender tab bending to get them to not rub..

If the weather is decent, I'm going on a car cruise this weekend and I'll snap some real pictures.

kbye.

i think you should have gotten silver for sure and a less meaty tire but i love rpf1s so much props for doing them.

You made me very happy by going with the 235/45/17's. That's the proper size tire for that rim.

x2... this is why i've never went with all black wheels... they look like steelies... especially when rolling..

(aka "Cookies" down south)

for dropping the pounds off the car though... i bet it feels a bit more spirited...

This actually looks good to me. Makes the car look a whole lot different tho. Changes the flow of things drastically.

Looks good, compared to always seeing chrome rims/machine polished on our cars 24/7 , its great for a change, IMO it goes with your tint and gives your car a stealth look, which isnt bad at ALL.....

I actually have steelies in the front since I race my TL and have to burnout to increase traction because I drag race on streets by my job. I just leave my 19's in the back but I dont wanna fuck up my tread on the front rims because of all the burning out I do so I keep the steelies in the front, but I never have my 19s mounted in the front ever; idk why.

i like them, you should black out the headlights and grill like mine, that would look sick with the rims. i would prefer an aluminum lip on the black rims, but either way it looks nice.

I don't like blacked out/tinted/smoked lights/grills/trim. Personal preference.

I could have thrown on some 19's like everyone else.. Or I could have gone for the purpose I wanted. Handling & grip, w/ a different look. The wheels + tires shaved off 10lbs of rotational mass on each corner while being 1.5" wider & 1" taller than stock.

The original pictures did stink. I still haven't really taken any good shots of the car. It sat all winter.

Thanks. There are a few of us around. You can probably count modded NGM's on one hand. It's an ugly color to most people. I love it. I'd never buy it again though.

The last picture w/ the new toy failed...
