Semi gloss black Type S Wheels Winter setup

Where is the winter i ask? lol anyways i had to refinish my wheels, they were curbed real bad so i had them powder coated in semi gloss black. Also put on new tires, Bridgestone Blizzak lm-60, OEM splash guards, Drilled/Slotted brake rotors, LED license plate bulbs, LED interior ( changed vanity mirror bulb to LEDS too, took only 5 mins lol ). Comments,suggestions are welcome and to the pics we go..




List of things ill be doing soon
- 19" wheels, cant say the name lol
- Exhaust maybe XLR8
- Amber LED turn Signals
- Reverse LED bulb
- Aspec kit
- Roof spoiler
- Painting brembos in Ibis white or something similar
- Front camber kit

looks sick. i would say get spacers but looks like you are looking into new wheels soon

btw if you are lookng at V-LED reverse lights you should get them now cuz they are $15 off until January 2nd. i just ordered mine yesterday

I was thinking about getting spacers 20mm Front and 25mm Rear, not too sure about them tho and as for the leds I actually have them in the cart waiting lol..I'll be getting the reverse LEDS and LEDS for the Glove box and Center console,they didn't have them in stock the last time i ordered from them.

Thanks..Cost of powder coating depends. Like if you want a custom color it would cost more. If you want the center caps Acura logo painted so they can stick out, it will cost more. I got mine done at Elite Rims, They charge $125 for full refinish with a plain color ( includes mounting tires back on and balancing). I got mine done for $400, but thats because i knew a guy that knew them lol. They did a really good job, even painted the wheel balance weights black lol. Turn around time was super fast too. I dropped them off at 1pm and the next day 9am wheels were ready.

Rhaf, that looks great. I've always wanted new rotors, but I thought the OEM wheels would not let them show enough. But from your first picture, maybe I'll reconsider....

Thanks. The rotors are are more noticeable, but i think its more because of the black wheels tho..Not sure how they will look with the stock type s color.. because it would just sort of blend in.. I hope you understand what i'm trying to say lol

I think we are getting snow on Tuesday..not that i want it lol i just want to see how the tires handle in the snow

Not sure lol.. I spent about 3k on a set of wheels ( and then needed to spend an additional 1,300 just to get them in driveable shape lol the seller wasn't too honest so i traded them) also got megan coilovers, camber kit, isimple, and this setup now.. i haven't done much because i wanted to pay off my car first thats why. I didn't want to keep paying the interest lol..waste of money in my opinion
