It's crazy though... noone knew the other had ordered until after the deed was done. I though I would be the first, then RS said he ordered gold, and NSCU said he ordered too...
It's all good, we're in good company.

I like the gold too, but I'm doing the black chrome conversion, and the Titanium complements this well.
RS, I must admit, we have similar taste. I've been through 5 sets of wheels this year, and these are finally "the ones". What started it all off was your Privat Netz. I had a set of thsose that I sold before ever mounting them, to order the GT-Ss... and of course the other Volk GT-7s and TE's in between (to tide me over).
When you said you ordered GT-S, I though "damn"... this guy is gonna think I'm all ove rhis junk, even though I "ordered" before you. I wish i had the vendor contacts you have.

Nice Kennedy! Now let's see them mounted. There are so many awesome whips out there, in EVERY color. 
I could afford Volks. But I already have 3 sets of wheels, and I'm TOTALLY satisfied with the Legends.

When i heard you bought the netz cuz i had them and then you sold them...i didn't blame you...you had that ugly forged grey color if i recall correctly. i didn't know you ordered GT-S...i love the wheels for the simplicity. I think it fits the TL VERY well. A LOT of people IMO...don't know how to choose wheels for the TL...i would say there's only about 20 cars i've seen on here with wheels that i believe match the TL's style well.
But that's cool how i ordered AFTER you and i got mine first AND i ordered a custom color too. =D You can have the same hook up as well...just call up who i bought mine from next time. How much did you pay for your set? PM me if you don't wanna post it up.

Nah... I had the forged silvers too... I just wanted to be different, as a lot of folks ordered those after your post (avnpersuasion, and another guy had them), so i decided to sell, grab my nuts, and get the Visa...
Turns out I ended up copying you again... That's OK though, I'll rep the east coast. We talked about thsi already. I paid $2300 for mine... you did better than that from six.
I must admit, after pitching a hissy fit that it had been 100 days, they air-freighted em in direct from Japan. It was fun doing the customs stuff.
I agree with you on the importance of rim selection, which is why I went the GT-Ss. Certainly my top 6 are GT-Ss, those new Legends, Netz, VR Porgressiv Spoke, OE A-specs, and TE37s...
Sold the TE's today. It hurt to watch them go... but to be honest, as good as they look, they SCREAM boy racer. I never thought they went well with the TL's pseudo luxury styling. Accuratein is the exception, but that spaceship is in it's own class. The TE go great with that crazy ricey front bumper of his. Notice how the new Mugen civic has knockoff TE's:
I decided the TL warranted a different look than the civic's boy racer looks.

Will that fit a 3G? By my calcs, that rim runs 25mm closer on the inside wheel face, which may hit the shock body.
8.5 +51 seems more like a TSX offset to me.

Actually JJ, I've never been able to get solid specs out of you. What's the exact offset of those 19x9's? You always say, "it's the stock offset", but there's nothing stock about going with an in wider rim.

Where did you get those Falken's Kennedy? I ask because you always get a deal or do enough research to make sure you are
