Why? Why? Why?
I have to say they look pretty decent-even though I'm not a fan of chrome.
The original gun metal look is the way to go-still think you should have stayed with the gm.

I use Cannon PowerShot S500 and I set to superfine resolution and manual mode when I did the shots.

Looks good! What was the total price for the rims+chrome without tires? If you don't mind.

I paid 908 for the rims (out the door). They come as chrome.

By the way, those tires are Toyo Froxes4 245/40/18.

I think the gap in the front is not too bad. What do you guys think? Thanks!

Sonic.

Nice pictures, Sonic. I'm not usually partial to chrome, but THOSE wheels in chrome look really, really good. Good enough for me to consider buying in the future.

Love the chrome. $908.00 out the door for those rims seems like a great deal as well. Where did you get them?

That's the price outright. No trade in or anything. I did not buy the car from them.

For the rims, I bought from Norm Reeves - Acura of Temecula and I think they still sell them at very good price (was increased a little compared to the price few months ago).

For the full body kit, I think Cush Acura - Escondido dealer has a great price.

Hope that helps.

Sonic.

Close, but those are not Acura factory wheels....they lack the deeper 'dish' around the lugs.

I got the complete body kit for $800.00 It does make a big difference in the look of the car.

I think chrome wheels on a dark gray body is the only combination that really works.
Looks nice!
