Lol, what I was referencing it to was awhile ago he said he really posted a lot on AZine because he was at work.

No work = No posting.

My second theory is him and TSXy are runaway lovers.

Wtf, I didn't even notice that small monitor the first time. Do you do day trading to need that many monitors??

iCrap has the nexcrap 7 in his car, iCrap on the desk, and 27crap" monitors also on the desk. Craptastic.

The little monitor is just being used to monitor my temperatures, fan speeds, the time, notifications, etc.
I do all my work on the big 3 27crap" monitors... photo / video editing, and a little bit of trading.

That little tiny monitor was actually the original one i had in my car, but then i replaced it with the tablet so i decided to repurpose it for my PC.

Unfortunately the biggest I would go is 18". Do you have any pics of your car? Without a drop would you recommend that fitment?




VMR says they have 18x8.5 in +35 and +45. I want to run the most concave look without any modifications.

Ah okay.

+35 will look more flush, and are likely more concave than +45. At 8.5" wide, +35 should fit even if you're dropped, without fender mods, given you have the right tire setup. Technically, 18x8.5 +35 should effectively stick out about 2-3mm more than 18x9.5 +45, which is what I have. I'm running 235/40/18 Hankook Ventus V12s on my 9.5" wide wheel. At 18x9.5 +45 and dropped a decent amount (half finger gap), I currently do not rub with this setup.

On an 8.5" wide wheel, my tire setup wouldn't be as stretched, and might end up rubbing (this is kinda hard to estimate IMO... I'm not really sure). Check out http://tyrestretch.com/ for pics on various setups. Things to look out for are the sidewall, and perhaps how much lip is sticking out.

I don't have any pics of my car up on azine at the moment. I've been struggling to find time to both wash her and take some decent pics. I'll try and get that in this weekend

I have 8.5" wheels with 40 sidewall tires.

edit: but mine are 19" so a little different overall.

Pshh, I ain't talking about the new ones. I want a 92 NSX-R which will most likely be nearly impossiburu to find so I'll settle for any 92-01 NSX lol

There's a lot of people from NSXPrime that come to Houston C&C. About ~8-12 usually.

I haven't been able to find any NSXs for sale around here, Ive only seen like ~30 for sale in the nation.

Alright thanks!!


I'm searching for wheels that have a convace look that have fitment for our cars in 18", but I've only been able to find VMR and XXR.

That's actually a good price for the Gallardo. You can get 04-05's w/ little mileage for ~90k. 09 Maserati Granturismos can be had for $70k, and Ferrari 360 Modena's for $70-80k
