Corrected.

I personally don't like those rims, but to each his own.

I keep looking at the pictures and think that the transition from the spokes to the lug nuts don't flow too well.

I've spent about 30 minutes trying to come up with an explanation as to why, but only confused myself in the process.

Sit inside your car, look around then maybe you'll have a feel as to what rims you'd like to have to ease the transition stepping in and out of your TL

i know.. its tough... i really really have my eyes on some axis.... alot of people comment that the axis are heavy, which they are, but heavy rims are harder to dent or bend! remember that fellow NY'ers

I think they would look great w/ a drop, AND... powder coating them black, a glassy black at that....

What do you think?

I also don't think the wheels go with the car. The spokes are too wide and flat.

I think they did look a lot better on the black car, but that's the past.

Powder coating might be an option, but I don' think black will work. Maybe white centers with chrome rims....

Just my

I agree, but with wheels, we all have our personal preferences for fat vs thin spokes.

i am thinking... Axis Shine, Hiro, RJ Legend II, in 19" or A-Spec 18"... all roughly about the same price
Axis Hiro are one of my favorites, but on that wdp you need the Raven Inspires

What the fawk???...You do know it's against the law to show those right Allon? Plus...it's Blasphemy!

In regard to the "other color" with the rims from the NBP...stop playing! Game over - NO!

Hahahahaha...whaddup Allon! You know Imma give ya hell on that move every chance I get, but you still cool with me! Having "withdrawal symptoms" are we? Of course you miss the NBP, it was your destiny! Just as it is mine and everyone else's. You just never understood that it was all about the car and not about you! Hope springs eternal tho playa - look at how many times JD-TLS flips cars!

I know ya feelin' your way thru the rushes right now bro, but you'll be back! LOL! If I'm in NY, I'll holla...I should be dropped with new shoes by then - real soon dawg! Speaking of shoes, I think I saw yours for sale in BM...KEEP THEM THERE!

We can do the NBP round-up when we both get the 4G's...you'll just take a little longer...but I expect to see ya back amongst the elite in the future when you get tired of perpetrating a fraud!

Peace2fingaz!

Hey Alon I believe the Type S needs something sportier, something new and fresh...get something sporty in darker shades, great contrast to white.

the picture you sent to my phone looked lower and much better.

the photoshop looks hot.

you have to put those springs in.

they look good for now
but I know you want different wheels
and you will eventually get new rims anyway.

I feel the Acura needs some rims that have a little more to them. Either curved or interesting lines. These rims just don't fit the style of the car (I think they are too flat), imho. They worked on your past car but not on the white.

No justice at all. The chrome look takes away from it, go with a darker rim and drop it a li'l.

A st of 04 A-specs might be the perfect choice for you WDP. The chrome has got to go.
