NBP TL WORK'd out
Just put my Work Emotion CR KAI's on.
18x8.5 +43 offset
235/45/18 Falken Azenis RT-615's
Lowered on TEIN Basics
My friend took the pics, but I didnt have time to give it a proper wash for taking pictures at 3am with a 30 second exposure time.
Let me know what you think

Im glad you all like it, the only reason i didn't go with more of an offset was because I didn't want to have to roll the front fenders anymore than I have, they are already pulled over an inch and I plan to lower it more yet. It's just that I'm away at school right now in Indiana and the roads out here are far from good... Other than that the paint looks slightly blueish because that what NBP is, Black with blue metallic and the long exposure really brought it out. There was very low ambient light, i mean there was a light in the parking lot but it was over 60 yards from the car, the pictures were taken with a Cannon 30d, but i am going to find the ones taken with a wide angle lens and see how they look.
hella sexy! nice pics!

As SweetJazz said its in the paint, but the long exposure helps for you to be able to truly see it in the photos

wth... it is a mike look-a-like...
definitely agree with the spacer comments listed above... with those tires... you could get a 10mm spacer and wouldn't rub... but honestly a 5mm spacer is all it takes to make the wheels look even more jdm'd out...
I like those wheels alot.. in fact I was going to purchase them in bronze... had a problem since the only size available was 18x8.5 +30 (evo fitment)...

Thanks, I have wheel spaces but my buddy who is back in Illinois has them on his IS300 temporarily, so once I get back there I will most likely put them on. Other than that, I have never heard NBP being called "Blurple" but I guess in these pics i see where you could get that.

Looks hot.
I think i saw where you posted over on honda tech too.
I love how the long exposure was able to bring out the blue pearl. I need to learn how to set my camera to long exposure with no flash.

So just as an update, I had an HKS Carbon Ti put on, the turbo style one with the 120mm tip put on the other day, single exhaust of course. I had it mounted on the passenger side. I had custom 2.5" piping made for it with no resonators other than the 3rd cat test pipe which is technically a resonator... I am pleased with the result, no buzz or rasp to it. I hope to take some pics really soon and hear what many of you think of it.

I love them, yesterday i was on a ramp that goes from one highway to another, a lond sweeping right curve, and i had a M5 in front of me, not the current one, but one body style ago. Anyhow, he started flooring it around the ramp and i was right on his ass but he couldnt go anymore bc he started to slide, needless to say i didnt even have a squeal or any slip from the tires at 80+ mph and i had to let off so i wouldnt hit him bc i didnt feel like passing him at the time with him sliding and all...lol And they are really not that bad in the rain at all, better than some other tires i have had.
Note- I am also now as low as the Tein Basics let you go all the way around
