Unhappy LAST PHOTOSHOOT before I sell.

Well the time has come. Time to sell............... MY WHEELS

I have been looking to change up my style for a while, but haven't really found a set of wheels that suite me. So I decided to stick with my current setup & CUSTOM POWDERCOAT my HR2's.

I started with my set of MRR HR2 wheels, stripped them, then ordered a custom blend metallic color. Coated them to give them a incredible GUNMETAL FINISH. I think they came out fantastic......... JUST NOT for my car. I think the SSM & gunmetal clashed a bit. These would look SOOOOO sexy on an NBP in my opinion. But oh well, you never know untill you try.

So here it is, one last shoot before going on the Black Market.

I just got these back FRIDAY, with brand new freakin tires!
But I just can't get past the SSM/GUNMETAL CLASH... huge FAIL on color combination on my part.

Nothing wrong with the GUNMETAL at all ... just doesn't compliment the SSM & my style.

I agree...I think the gunmetal is amazing on SSM. Seriously...and 20's normally look too big on a 3G, but they look amazing on your car.

No staggered is great...then you can rotate.

get some, but I dont think 20's will fit on your tsx. Your guna have to go with 19s. 19&20 is all they make in that style.

AGREED about the non staggered part. AGREED also about the 20's... dont see why people think 20's are big on the TL... its just .5inches bigger around than 19's

Most people forget that the original wheel acura made for the 3G CONCEPT CAR were freakin 21"

I have always loved your car with those wheels. The gunmetal looks sick on there.

BTW might be my monitor settings but your car looks like its a really light blue silver color. Looks pretty sick

Too bad you're selling them.. they still look great on the TL.

I liked the wheels before you painted them. I think that's how they look the best on the SSM. I actually wanted to get 19s of the same rims because of your pics.

Man, I saw the title of this thread, then saw who started it, and my heart sank.....

Thanks goodness you're not selling the car!

It sounds like you've got a big dilemma going with the wheels! I'm glad to see you're doing your meet too!

Read carefully, not sellin car... just wheels.

Not painted, powder coated. But yeah, I was kinda tired of the before look, so I tried to change it up. You win some, you lose some.... So what are you waiting for... GO BUY MINE in the BM, they are only half an inch bigger around than 19's... plus tires are cheaper for 20's

I like the ease of being able to rotate the tires & getting decent mileage out of them.

TRIOD3SIGNS---Ah man your crazy!!!... those rims are ba-dayus on your car!...lol (badass!)... i have an SSM too and i love the gunmetal look!... my only issue with yours is that they need to be a tad darker for me... i painted my stocks gunmetal and it looks mean and aggressive!!!...lol (in my opinion)... i would be so ready to buy them off of you, if only they were 18's...lol im not one to take looks over performance... I would say sleep on it before you sell... then again, to each his own... ill buy the rims for $300... CASH!!!... (well mostly cash and the rest coins...)...lol
