Whose ride is this? What kind / size rims are those? What kind of drop is that? Did you do any cutting on the springs? Anyone, help!

 

Photoshop job. Those are BMW M5 OEM wheels. They are the wrong offset and bolt pattern for our car.

 

thanks for ruinin my hopes! lol, is there anything that looks like those that would fit our lil guys?

 

damn good eye NSXNEXT

 

yeah i thought they were BMW rims too, but i was just hoping that an aftermarket company made some similar, but its looks tight, with the doorhandles shaved too

 

Looks like the new BMW M3 wheels. They have in 19" too...

Anyhow...that's looks great...hope they make a the right offset...

 

yeah, actually they are M3 rims, not m5

 

that's a nice photoshop job. couldn't even tell the difference. it definitely looks tight though.

 

I remember that pic.. I think one of the members put a gripload of wheels on a TL to see what they would look like..

I believe it was "photoshop chop shop" or something like that.. it was tight..

i remember that...that was back when i was just "viewing the board" and hadn't signed up yet. :p

 

Neil is right. it's M5...

 

That's what I said the first time...but that's ok...nobody listens to me

 

i believe dronell make a samilar one like and its super light..

 

Actually, those are M3 wheels. The M5 wheels have inner and outer (kind of) spokes. The M3 spokes are all out (kind of) and even.

 

the arguement continues, i stand behind m3, i saw them in person too, and i saw the dronells, they coo

M3 Conv:


M5:

 

i like those wheels alot but from far away it looks like a multispoke

 

Thanks fahoumh...M5 wheels

NEXT

 

m3, m5's spokes do not curve out.

 

sorry NSXNEXT....but this dude's right

 

D@mn....so we've lost the argument, Neil???

 

They are m3 rims. Because they have no lip. they are both a ten spoke wheel trust me i know

 

I have a client that's got a M5, and the first thing I noticed when he pulled up... were the HUGE lip on the wheels... (I mean HUGE), the very first thing I did was... I got down on my knees to see what size tires/wheels they were. I may NOT know much about wheels, like some of the other guys on this site... but I know those ARE NOT M5 wheels... cause of the lip (perhaps M3s).

 

Can't believe this thread is still going. Why not split the difference.

M4 wheels

 

That photo is taken from the Photoshop Chop Shop. It consists of the TL-P from the Official Acura brochure and some M3 wheels from a magazine Ad. The wheels have been resezied to be 19", the drop would be in the order of 3in or more.

I did a bunch of these as an excersize in photoshop as well as giving my wife an idea of what I had planned for the car. I did nearly 20 of them to give her a choice as to whice style of wheel she wanted on her car. The site with the pictures is stuill up but there has been a reduction in the number of photos due to bandwidth and storage restrictions.

thank you for visiting the Photoshop ChopShop.

I am dissapointed, no one mentioned the shaved door handles...

 

i mentioned them

 

so sorry read all of the post too fast.

You know, I saw an aftermarket company that had wheels that looked like these, the offset and bolt pattern were close to the TL too. I dont recall which company it was, sorry.

How do u open the doors with shaved door handles .

 

With a remote control.....I think it works the same way you open your trunk.

 

Has anybody actually shaved there door handles? Is it strictly fo car show purposes? Thanx

 

Nobody here has shaved there door handles, at least I don't think so. IMO, shaved door handles look very clean, plus nobody can break into your car via conventional methods. If the car is armed and the smash the window and try opening the door with the interior handle, even the factory system will go off. But the bad thing is if your remote batteries die, you're s**t out of luck.
