4X4 status w/ Axis Penta...

Hello Everyone,

I haven't posted any pix for a minute now, and since i recently purchased the rims that i've had my eyes on ever since i saw it on Ballinfizzle's ride, i had to share with the community my progress so far.

Next up are coilovers and baking them headlights to clear for sure, real soon (but you all know the projects keep on coming, it's endless)...but what's really bothering me are the "rust" on the rotors, so i think that'll be my next project to tackle.

I just wanna say thank you to BigBlackTL for taking good care of the rims; Acurazine for giving me the "cajones" to do all this project with ease because i'm not mechanically inclined in any way; and the members that make this homepage the illest!!!

**Pictures are taken with casio exilim 6.0 mp ( i know, i need a new camera )**

Comments welcome!

Staggered Set Up:
Axis Penta
19x8.5 +45 Fronts
19x9.5 +40 Rears

**Wrapped in Falken452 245/35/19**




Front lip 2"


Rear lip 3"...love it!


Rear Lip...3"


Just one of the beautiful rims for the TL


Need to clear those lights...real bad!



My wife's car: 2001 Acura 1.7 EL









DeBadged it yesterday finally



Coilovers are coming soon, no doubt

how deep your lip? looks like 2", I have almost the same exact specws on my wheels. I was actually going to get the pentas, but went for the double 5 spoke way. Looks good , needs a drop though.

Looks good. Those are the same rims that I'm getting, just trying to decide the offset and tire size (I have the brembos).

That's awesome killersrt...these are classic and can't go wrong cause it just flows with our cars. Unfortunately i can't help u with the offset cause i'm not sure...but GL with it

Hey myron, yeah this is definitely local. Bought it on Feb.15th, but no worries, you'll get your rims - i wasn't really looking until i just happen to see these online (and was just keeping an eye for months)...and it worked out awesome

I am not a big fan on mesh wheels, to much spokes to clean! But once they are clean they look really good!

I wasn't either, until i saw the picture of Ballinfizzle about a year and a half ago...and i had that picture on my desktop for awhile, it looks good on our TL, my

But ur definitely right about cleaning though...but oh wells, hard work to make it look good, and plus it's for my baby!
