OMG HAHAHAHAHA , LMAO!!
i cant believe you had to explain this one. that is a shame, hey atleast i know that these are the best wheels you have ever brought to the table.

boy, if people only knew what HRE wheels were and how much they even cost they'd realize your price of 700 is unbelievably, almost jokingly low. again, its a shame to hear such insulting feedback from others. and when you say over a 1000 per HRE wheel, thats without the tire too, LOL. these are only for a certain kind of people who expect the best, people who understand the wheels true form and function and as a result bear that ultimate- CLEAN, HARD look that is second to none.
ive always loved the look of true 3-piece rims. they are simply the best. to be honest, i dont really care too much for the RJ line except for just these 3PC ones only. in fact i wish somehow you could devote more effort into just the 3PC line but unfortunately i dont think the market would back that move. just too much $$$ for someone who buys an Acura brand for its bargain-labeled luxury car pricing,but atleast for now it is. im sure youd agree. although im sure you wont have any problems with selling those limited numbers .

Actually, those are 19" x 8.5" up front with BBK caliper clearance, and 245/35/19 tires. The offset used was a 40mm, only because that was the sample I requested to test fit on the TL-S with brembos. I just couldn't help it and bolted them up to my car for the shoot.
The rear is a 20" x 8.5" with a 52mm offset and 225/35/20 tire. Both wheels should have the 52 mm offset and will tuck without rolling fenders.

Those look amazing! Only if you made wheels that would fit a 4-lug car, then I would have a set, but I guess I'll have to wait until I get a newer TL before I have RJs.

Stop buying all the other stuff and get the wheels. 
As for me I have to decide:
1. Granite counter tops for wifey.
2. New wheels.

Raven Black Face for your car no doubt! But considering you probably want to show off more of the detail when marketing the wheel around, probably choose one of the other finishes......but that Raven Black on Black.....damn!

Yeah, I know it's so sexy, I agree, but I do want to show off the design and make it more noticeable. Black wheels are so stealthy, I have Legend GT's on right now and boy does my car sneak around, lol. I would probably get bored of the black quick too. Think I'm gonna go with the Liquid Silver face or Liquid Graphite face when they arrive in a few days.

Also received the final 3D of the 19" x 8.5" Legend Type II with BBK clearance. We have two finishes planned for this one, a Liquid Silver face with Mirror lip to mate up with the 20" Type II, and a nice Gun metal with Mirror Face and lip as shown here:

Sorry about that, been so busy and its been hell trying to work with my budget and all these new projects. I apologize, but certain small details are stopping the production of the 19" Legend Type AII, from budget, to production capacity, to visual similarities after engineering to the regular legends. It's just not going to work and it's not worth it.

Wheels are scheduled to be here on the 5th of Feburary, for those who preordered or planned on doing so. I'm reffering to the Devotion Type III, 3-piece wheels. We have one set of each finish done as sample sets if anybody wants to take advantage of the custom finish option without the added cost.
