Questions on the wheel Lowenhart

1. Does anyone know what size of lowenhart rim songoku used?

2. How do you like those rims?





more pictures at http://www.acurainspired.com/gallery...id=495&uuid=43

I found a set but it's 19X8.5 45 offset.

3. Will I have any problem if those rims go on a 2002 Acura TL?

Thanks in advance.

imo, those wheels belong on like.. bagged LS or so..

maybe you can bag your car and run those and make it look clean??? i dunno...

and 19x8.5 +45 is fine..

my GT-V were 19x8.5 +46..

just run 225/35/19

probably just roll rear and cut tabs and voila....

thanks for all the comments...
I am not quite sure about the style but I am going to mold my OEM front and WW rear lip kit on the bumpers so they will look like one piece.
Actually the other thing that I am worrying about is that for a 8.5 wheel, I was told that I should get a 225 tire instead of 235 because of the rubbing issue. Is 225 on a 8.5 rim too stretch? Also my car now is on Tein S.S coilover, if I am really going to get this set of wheels, I need to raise up my car a bit to 2 finger gaps in order to avoid the rubbing issue. Is that correct?
Thanks again.

19x8, and that was with 235/35-19 rubber.
