I didnt like the stock Type S Rim color, and I didnt want to purchase any new rims so this is what I came up with..Time Attack Rims..Tell me what you Guys Think..




Cant get a Job done without the Green Tea

 

Looks good man! Haha the last pic with the green tea looks so professional haha like an ad for Arizona...haha anyways looks really good..I bet the lip was a PITA to paint though

Oh, and get some daytime pics

I see you're in VA too..we need to get some people for a shoot

 

Where is the DYI?

 

i unno man for some reason im not diggin it ... i juss think the 07 tl-s rims are fugly ... insanely sexy car though

 

PS - The rim looks GREAT!

 

You'll find with time attacks that some people hate them...some people love them.
I am one of the ones that love them. Adds a nice touch to the red accents of the Type-S

But when you put a "DIY" in the title...people are gonna wonder where the DIY is.. Do you have a quick write up on doing this?

Here is my idea for a time attack wheel...not sure if the red would go well with my WDP though

 

Yea looks like you got an NBP TL, Nice..where in Va are you from

 

DIY- Ok first of all I took of one tire at a time, I used masing tape to cover up the tire so no Paint gets on it, and Masking tape to cover up the whole middle part of the Rim..so the Lip is just visible..then I got 600 Grit sandpaper and sanded the lip down, the used Red spray paint, DUPLICOLOR...and did 3 coats each rim...then did 2 coats of Clear Coat..waited 30 minutes and took off all the masking tape and slapped da tires back on..the sanding down part and taping everything up is a PITA

 

wow that looks really nice...Im diggin the red lugnuts too..and Yea I just didnt like the stock set-up so i added the Red in there..Type S style i guess

 

Yo, you should try the st04louis idea with the red lugnuts..might bring out the rims more

 

had you done the brakes red aswell you would've really set a tone... and what type of spray did you use, regular rim paint?

 

Oh yeah the brakes is a def too

I dont think duplicolor makes the red rim paint Might be wrong though...
I think it's probably engine paint

 

I might get the red lugnuts, and the paint was duplicolor....

 

i dont know if i want to paint the calibers red...thenb you wouldnt be able to see the acura symbol

 

Well you would when you re-paint it black.

 

Now you guys got me thinking about painting the whole rim black...Red Lip, and red Brake Calibers..you guys are great

 

Those A-spec in Time Attack color look good as shit! If St Louis will paint them, I will rock them!!

RonDog is gonna kick ya'll ass fa sho tho!

 

Yeah I know but I think what he means is if it was duplicolor rim paint or duplicolor engine paint....

And I was gonna suggest you paint the whole thing black..would look ALOT nicer imo..looks nice as is though

 

Man, you can take it as far as you want; sounds good - might look awesome. Somebody with NBP had their stock waffle wheels powder-coated black. It was sick!

You did a good job though. They look good even if you leave 'em just like you've got 'em.

The A-Spec's Black like that .... . Yeah, darksom1, you should hit that; stella would look good in those shoes.

 

From what I see, you didn't paint the rims black?
Just left it gun metal and painted the lip?

I thought of doing a red lip with black too, but I just stuck with full black.

 

Can somebody photochop OEM 5 spokes with black and red lip? I am thinking of having my stocks done if it looks cool! Anybody?

A-N-Y-B-O-D-Y????

 

Both the Type S and the A-Spec time attack color scheme looks extremely hot. Loving the color schemes. I'm thinking about trying it now. And yeah, where's the DIY?

 

No offence but I doubt it'll look nice, maybe cuz I don't like the stock 05 n under TL 5 spokes.

Hahaaha, 07+ TL's rims are nicer.

 

not bad looking at all.

 

I agree the new base rims are sexy

 

Ima paint my Rims Black now...Ill post up pictures when im done with everything guys...

 

Darky don't do it mang!!! Get the gunmetal Aspecs instead

 

I'm not gonna do it dawg! LOL! Just illin'...

 

Hahaha you copier!!
Hahaha, just playing!

Can't wait till your pics!

 

Since elkayem is too modest to repost his Black (Powder Coat) TL-S Wheels ....


XxAfG786xX, you make your wheels look like this with the Time Attack outline ..... I think that red outline would give some definition between the wheel, the tire and the car.


And I've been thinking about those lugs .... Maybe make 'em black, so they "disappear". Then do the "A" symbol circle (not the "A" itself) in the same color red as the outer rim.

You'll end up with an "outer" Time Attack circle and an "inner" "A" circle.

 

I was planning on doing that, Black Rims, Red time attacks, either red or black Lugs

 

Looks COOL. 1 of a kind.

 

Heres My rims washed and waxed...daytime photos!!!


Tell me how they Look now...

 

here ya go..

If only we lived in the same area.
Or we could have a photoshoot of the two TL-S with the DIY wheels.

That would look awesome!
Now you need to drop your car, you have no idea how much better the stockers look with the dropped car.

I painted the wheels before I dropped it.
I kinda gave my baby the awkward look.
But when I once installed the suspension....

 

dude i dropped my car already on tein s.techs....

 

Oh really? LOL
sorry man couldn't tell from the pics cuz they were so close up to the wheel=P

 

haha yea, its actually a finger gap left on the car...
