Looking forward to the wheels Chris! I have a feeling they're going to be sick. You definitely need to drop her a little after you put 'em on. And do that pulley too! I definitely look at the ride when driving by windows...or a clean dark-colored car LOL! Gotta see it moving...especially after the Endless BBK. I've still gotta figure out what to do with that Ron Jon certificate I won at the National Meet. Thinking about maybe getting the Legends in Graphite Machined, we'll see. In for pics of the new setup!

yea, love those wheels, i normally don't get to see the wheels when the car is moving, so whenever i drive by places with windows, i look at the car to see the wheels spinning. the other day when i was at Acura picking up my car, i had to wait for them to drive the car up, when i saw it, i was like damn, lol
nice job on making the Rev wheels unique, can't wait to see them in person
i could of swore it was you, cause it was a KBP Type S and had the same similar wheels as you. if it wasn't you, then you got a twin somewhere in A-town

So quick update. Wheels came in last Friday, and I took them to Discount Tire by my house to get mounted Saturday, but there was a bit of a problem....
Long story short, they wouldn't clear the brembos; were barely knicking them. I got in touch with Rondy at RonJon and we figured out that my rotors are a few milimeters thicker than stock rotors (two pieces) so therefore wheels will not clear without some help.
I ordered 4 hub/wheel centeric 3mm spacers to solve the problem. They should be here this week.
While I was measuring how much of a spacer I needed, I snapped a cell pic:
Hopefully really have them on soon!

Those are going to look great once the spacers help out the caliper issue!Have you thought about removing or redoing the Type-S on the calipers. They are a bit "blingy" and face the wrong way

Thanks for the comments everyone, it kills me to see these in their boxes sitting in my living room, not looking like the spacers will be done this week either 
Oh well, you know what they say about patience and all
On the advice of the brembo sticker, I ordered some gray ones up but not your normal gray
I am down for that! The Colorado RonJon family
Let me know when you got everything on and we will setup a time

Bah!!!! Got an issue guys....
So, both places I have called (Big O Tires, and Discount Tires) refuse to mount my wheels on my car with spacers. Basically I need the tires off my current wheels to be mounted onto my new wheels. Spacers were made for the wheels and the car and are only 3mm so I dunno wtf the problem is.
Anyways, anyone know of somewhere local I can go that will mount my damn wheels?

wtf.
Just have them mount the tires on the wheels and then take them home to install. Return once everything is on for an alignment.

I was thinking of doing that, but can't really drive the car without tires.
Installing the spacers isn't that big of a deal it is basically a 3mm piece of metal drilled out to fit over the hub and have a hole so the wheel can lock in as well...
Hopefully there is a local shop who isn't retarded.

Oh yeah, oops
Try to find a smaller family owned garage. You may pay a little more but most of the time they don't have as many rules as nationwide chains.
