These almost kind of remind me of your old kicks ... on the original blackura .. but these are better IMO... thinner spokes. You could do a 5mm spacer in the front to make it more flush to the fender since you desire the 9.5's but wanna keep these, that's always an option.

You have any low lying rear quarter panel shots to illustrate how flush these wheels are in the back?

 

those are fricken hot!! and YES to red calipers

 

Consider a 5mm spacer in front. If you do any kind of spirited driving, your caliper can slightly expand with heat, and with the insanely low clearance you have presently, that could spell disaster for you. I would never be comfortable driving with that little caliper clearance...

 

Dang, I should check out the meet section more often, I was in Jericho over the weekend and could have checked the WDP parade in person , rims look sick

 

Well, of course you "can" do it... but i wouldnt feel safe/comfortable disassembling the caliper.... especially after my last mishap with brakes 2 years ago....

 

Do calipers really expand?? I know rotors can.... if so, i could be in danger... i'm not kidding, the clearance is maybe 1mm

anybody who saw them at the NY meet can verify... its TIGHT in there

 

not a huge chrome or WDP fan, but those rims look really hot
i like that simple 5-spoke look, and that slight concavedness(i know its not a word) really sets them off. nice choice!!

and the red calipers would really make the brembos pop if you can pull it off...

 

I'm not a scientist but it would stand to reason to me that even if just the rotor expands, if that pushes the caliper out by 1mm, you may, again, be screwed.

I'd pick up some 5mm spacers ASAP.

 

^ makes a tad of sense.... ughhhh i hate running spacers... whole reason i got wheels that cleared the brembos!!

 

looks good

 

You need some tuner lugs or something, get some red ones or titanium finish and paint that caliper ASAP!

 

Blackura you car looked hot yesterday at the meet. And as stated before the pics don't do it justice you guys really need to see them in person. I was gonna pick your brain a bit Blackura but I saw everyone was already doing it. Maybe at the next meet.

 

I like the wheels... Flows well with your theme...

However... I wish to see them sitting more flush...

 

Nice wheels, Nice car bro, and loving the carbon fiber hood. btw nice pics

 

simple and clean looks.

 

Very nice wheels Blackura!!

 

Back in NY bro..

I see you finally got those enkeis you were talking about on.. I love the finish and the concavity, especially in the rear..

but you could have done better on fitment..

Dude the Clevelander was closed my entire break.. (mar 16-23) and they're re-opening the 25th, that was so gay

but madonnas was good

 

thanks man

my boy is heading down for WMC tomorrow.. hes doing all the promoting and in charge of the DJ's at the gansevoort.. id be down there too if work wasnt busting my ass these days


the fitment choices were limited man... i tried

19 x 8.5" Wheel, comes in +22 or +42
19 x 9.0" Wheel only comes in +18
19 x 9.5" Wheel, comes in +22 or +42

19 x 8.5" Wheel comes in +35, but ONLY 5x120 fitment.... GAY

everybodys telling me to drop a spacer in the front.... i really dont wanna do that, but i am second guessing one thing... im gonna test the rears on the front, maybe 9.5" all around

 

i'm starting to get that vibe from everybody... i'd really hate to run spacers though.... check post above... maybe 9.5" all around =)

 

found a few shots of the rear... its much higer concave.... fits real flush...

 

look great, like always... when I get my car back, I will show you how nice the paint came out, so I can do urs...

 

concave = sexy time

 

that concaved rear is pure sex
wonder why enkei don't make more of sbc finished wheels

 

the finish is amazing man.... i said bye-bye to chrome wheels a long time ago, because they're heavy and too "blingy" but these things rock.... and they weigh NOTHING... you'd swear they were made of plastic if you lifted one without a tire

 

Sick shoes!!!

I think the black calipers are dope b/c they match the whole, white, black, clean and simple theme ur ride is bringin!.... just IMVHO....

 

concavity on a high offset = no bbk clearance

I don't understand why you don't want to run spacers... they are not the end of the world... if you want a spacer that will not make your wheel vibrate and will be made to order go to wheeladapter.com

a 7mm spacer would make your fronts money, you will need to get extended wheel studs that are 5mm to 10mm longer than oem

ps. your rear is hot, but it could use a 5mm spacer too (roll them fenders)

 

I would have did the +22 all around...

But that's just me...

Allon... if you're happy with your choice and fitment... that's the only thing that matters... IMHO

 

the new wheels look hot bro but just like some said earlier in this thread the pics dont do it justice is looks sick in person.....but i wish i had bbk clearance to get it for my car.

 

these wheels r ok, but i loved ur last wheels

 

^ old wheels were just toooooo damn heavy. 32lbs F, 34lbs R..... with tires they weighed 62lbs F, 64lbs R

i didnt weigh these with the tires on, but i would imagine somewhere in the mid-high 40lbs area.... everything about the wheels is sweet in terms of performance, handling, ride quality and suspension feedback....

my only complaint, they are a bit TOO shiney.... maybe a thin gunmetal powder coat over the chrome would make for an interesting finish

 

What up?? Long time, looking good as usual. I must see these in person cuz as stated the pic's just aren't doing justice. I'm liking kinda feelin the old setup alittle more but she's def still a hot ass WDP!!!

 

ya know, the old wheels were bad ass, regardless of the weight... but im pretty sure i told you, and other peeps on here...

the lips were two different finishes!! the front were polished, and the rear was machined... it drove me CRAZYYYYYY.. and they were 2 piece welded, so i couldnt take them apart and refinish the lips....

 

your car is just amazing bro...looks amazing...you rep so hard for us WDP guys..good work

 

The new wheels are gorgeous man! I know what you mean about the old wheels being to heavy, I had 20's on my TL and she drove like a whale. I was just waiting for the day I could unload them and get some lighter shoes. It was a joy to put the stockies back on and feel the pep once again. I'm diggin, the red caliper as well but not if it's risky you don't need any more accidents.

 

the looks sick

 

Looks good man hit me up this summer we should get some nice shots of your car =) i wish i could have came to the meet but school started already again.

 

Another reason you guys have to see his wheels is that they are BLACK CHROME. They look like regular chrome in the pics, but nope, you just HAVE to see them!

 

I wouldn't F with the caliper color, man. Your theme is black n white, I think the red would pop but it might also pop too much and throw things off.

 

Wow, the finish on those wheels is

 

Man! Those wheels are hot! Shiny and light weight! Definitely makes your car stand out!


BTW, I wouldn't mess with the brakes. I like the white acura on black better, especially on your car.
