Well i picked up these wheels and tires for pretty cheap today from JspecAuto in VA. Balanced em and this is how she turned out. Comments welcome



Verde Kaos 18x8 all around
2- Michelin Pilot Sport 235/40/18 (looks like they will need to be replaced soon due to the fact it looks like somebody didnt roll the fenders on the previous car and ate away at the tire)
2- Kumho Ecsta AST 235/40/18

 

Looks good .. I'd replace the tires just to get the same on all 4 corners.

 

i got to get the girl a birthday present then pay my car payment, then two new tires. But thanks buddy!

 

damn camera phones..

 

How much did you pay for it?

 

$450 i see them going on AVERAGE $200 bucks new. seen anywhere from like 160-220 per wheel plus 4 relitivly good tires w/ 50% tread. Not a bad deal IMO

 

Not bad.

 

Very nice!

 

not bad for the price. not feeling the wheels a whole lot but shit 450 bucks not bad at all

 

id rather spend that 450 on a jpipe. #teamrichie

 

Id rock em for $450, not bad.

 

Lose those huge plastic rain gaurds sticking out of the side of your car and I might like it

 

yeah i have a to do list. i think me buying the new subaru has fallen through, so a-spec,de-badge,de-pinstripe and some paint work here and there is in the works, i will loose those mud flaps when that takes place..But i am rockin 166,000 miles so idk if its worth putting a j-pipe on or not

btw, where can i find an a-spec kit

 

Not bad at all for 450.00. I would get some spacers for the rear to make them more flush, then an A-spec kit!

 

yeah aspec is on the list, where can i pick on up at??

 

I have a friend in the Madison area that works for an Acura dealer that I got mine from (at cost) but I am not sure where to get the best price otherwise.

 

damn id hate to go to the dealer.

 

Nice. They remind me of the old integra mesh wheels.

 

Heh they do remind me of the old Integra wheels. Not bad for 450, def need to lose that pinstripe though.

 

They look alright. $450 could have went to A-Spec kit though.

 

yeah thats on the to do list

also on the list.

 

Tim or AckTL05 can hook you up with an A-Spec kit.

 

all priced up, just going to repaint bumpers and get some dents pulled and go aspec!

 

Looks good.

 

Look good.

 

Looks Good.

 

Thanks guys! i am going to take the pinstripping of this week hopefully, but here is a pic of it detailed full wax. Showing its bad side rear door
but shines well for 166k

 

Hell, I'm just jealous of the clean, no-snow picture.

 

lol^ gonna snow here today and tomorrow, garaged her up!

 

We got 8 inches of snow from 5pm Saturday until now.

 

You should try and PDR those door dings. I had one like that and after the PDR guy worked on it I can't even see it.

 

called the PDR guy i deal with and he said he could not pull the dents in that door. they appear to be from a hammer or something of the sort. They are way to deep and the paint was chipped when it was hit. He quoted me 100 bucks to pull roughly 8 dents around the car that he could pop out. But those 5 deep dents will have to be repaired by a body shop and i got quoted 700 to redo both drivers side doors and blend the paint. Apparently my car was vandalized the rear window was smashed out and replaced, saw that when i put my springs on and had to take my back seat out and realized i had broken glass in there, and the rear window also does not say Honda it says PPG, and you can tell the glass was replaced bc you can see the glue or adhesive they used..maybe tint would make it less noticeable.

 

Not a huge fan of the wheels Sorry.

PDR the little stuff and then A-Spec

 

agreed.. a little window tinting will go a long way with that car too

 

aw man that's disappointing you guys don't like the wheels but i guess everybody has there own opinion. And i wasn't planning on doing much to this car b/c i wasn't planning on keeping it long, but that appears to have changed. ill post pics of my further ventures with the car when the time comes.

 

not bad! needs more lip though!

 

ill get around to it!

 

UPDATE:

Finally! No more gay gold pinstripping!! I bought a 3M eraser and zapped the pinstripes off, took about an hour. Then i got a wild hair and took the "Acura" plastic logo off on the trunk..got a tan line from that other than the minor acura tan line it looks great!! Pics-

Mind the cell pics

Starting-


DONE(on the rocker panels you can see some road salt :/-


Not bad for almost 10 year old paint-


And the dreaded tan line..hopefully it will fade-

 

Much better without the pinstripping.

 

Thanks steven! I want to do PDR next and aspec..but not sure where to go from there.
