what size tires are you going to be running on those bad boys... ??? Plus what's the offset specs on the wheels??? I see you have the A-Spec kit... you might have to modify the rear section... you probably did already, since you had 19" x 9.5"...

I was going to do the cream on cream look for next spring... ever since I saw a MB 550 in White on White recently... I used to have white on white years ago and it was pain to keep clean... but well worth the effort IMO...

Keep us posted... I think it's gonna be a GREAT LOOK for that WDP...

The Tires are 255/30/20 ( 9.5) 40mm offset in the rear, and 225/35/20 (8.5) 35mm offset in the rear Toyo Tires


I don't have the full A-spec kit, The front lip was just sitting on the car when we took the pic. I don't have the rear portion of the kit

This is the 3rd pair! I got all three of them at the same time, just trying different stuff, the NETZ would still be on there if I hadn't curbed one them. The Concept One's are for Sale if anyone is interested. I have had them on for about 2 months. Perfect Condition.

I think the third time is the charm though..lol I can't wait to see what these are gonna look like...

ooo cant wait to see. I've brought up white rims on a wdp before but kept getting shot down by peeps that thought it would look like crap. Getting them painted with a matching wdp paint is key though, that looks nice. Maybe get red calipers as a distant cousin to the type R

I had the MDX Black on Black..I love the color match concept, especially when its something other than black..

interesting. i normally wouldnt agree with white on white but that is a good choice of rims. it is painted nicely too. as long as its not all white, i guess it works.

otherwise, it will look cheesy like how people used to paint stock rims on civics to match the rest of the car back in the day.

this actually looks pretty classy. semi-euro look.

Wow those wheels looks really good on our TL. The white on white looks hot. I love the lowering stance. Any rubbing in the rear?? Definately need more pics

Was wondering how much lip is in the rear?

Sorry about the Camera Phone pics...Once I clean I will take good pics of it.

I didn't adjust the Suspension at all from the 19's to the 20's. It doesn't rub at all..I need to raise the front up just a little bit, other than that it rides great!

You need to get it cleaned. It should look OK then.

JK. It looks really good guys, you will have to see it in person to believe it.
No scrubbing, I rode in it last night going to the gym.
It actually rides better on the 20's than the 19's.

Just like wherever you're using is blocked for me (pics hosted on Photobucket are blocked for me, too, but I can access the site itself to host my pics )...figures. I'd come down for y'alls meet, but it's a heck of a day trip (did it for a meet a couple of years ago).
