looked like a random base 07 TL parked behind you...couldn't tell they were wheels.
That would also explain the reaction you had when I said that it couldn't be wheels since you are very PRO OEM look.
Nice. Look forward to seeing some real shots of them.

So here what is left to do:
1) decide on center caps (Acura centercaps vs Avant Garde centercaps)
2) adjust coilovers for perfect height.
As Rockstar previously mentioned i LOVE the OEM sport look. So i am already inclined to use the Acura centercaps...besides the black AG caps i think make the wheel look smaller BUT every now and then i look at the car and really like the AG caps....kinda give it a BMW M look. Also on the ride height i will not slam it. Its got a supercharger...why would i want to always drive slow to avoid rubbing. The car is now so fun for spirited driving i wont give that away for slammed look. I think i'm going to tinker with it to get it as low as possible without rubbing during my daily commute.
Anyways here are some pics and give me your advice on these two items above. Thx![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I like the contrast of the black centers, it gives you a contrasting focal point and makes the wheels design more defined. I'd only do Acura center if you're either missing caps, are embarrassed by brand, or have hideous ones.
About the height, are your fenders rolled already? What kinda clearance do you have? I'd start with that...once you go aftermarket wheels, the perfect stance is even more important, in my opinion.
You're a far cry from being undriveable, don't worry. Huge gray area to play with here.

Regarding the height...using the old school finger method

Wow, a couple votes for Acura center caps.....didnt expect it.
I think the suggestion for chrome emblem & non-lack lugs is interesting too. I hadnt thought about it till now but one of the things i liked most about the Aspecs was exactly that. Gonna try it and see.
Here's my current avatar pic (closer look at rear wheel). These are my first staggered set of wheels ever. I'm not crazy about the whole no full rotation but i guess i'll get used to. I guess directional tread tires are out of the question too (although as i write this i believe these are directional...ugh). BUt for thin wall 19's these tires arent as noisy as when i previously had 19s. More pics coming soon after a real good clean and some height adjustments.

Nice wheel choice. I was STRONGLY considering Avant Garde before on decided to restore some older wheels.
You know, for the center caps, AG can make custom caps in any color you want. Might be neat to get a couple different sets with matching lugs. Maybe a teal setup, a red setup, ooh...goldish/copper would looks great on the black. Just throwing it out there.
BTW, their options on finishes is AMAZING! Still seriously considering going with their AGForm/AGFunction line for my next set of wheels.

I wouldn't go too much lower; it looks great as is!

Usually I prefer the slammed look but he's got a bunch of horsepower goodies. Sort of pointless to tuck tire with all of the money and time invested in the engine. Function > form with this car.

Rawr.
I'm sure I can speak for MAS by saying function over form anyday... Too many hwy ramps, tunnels (soon), & causeways down here to be enjoying with a pull here and there versus having to brake for every imperfection on the road lol. I don't know how some of you guys do it!? ![what](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/what.gif)

Damn I am in love with this thing all over again. The way I see it these wheels will pay for themselves by me using the car more often over the truck.
