Very nice. I usually don't go for the chrome but they look classy. Looks fine too without any drop. I also have a SSM 6MT with tint.
Where'd you get the wheels from?

Thanks, I bought them online through a company. They are only 19 lbs each !! The bad part was that I bought them with intention of having silver wheels that would match my TL. The distributor of the online company told me that they were almost identical to the silver acura paints their cars with with.


Two weeks later he calls and told me that they were backordered and that I would have to wait 6 weeks for them to arrive via Japan. I bit the bullet and paid an extra $200 to have them air freighted here in 1 week

Finally after all of the waiting, I unwrap the the container only to find dull grayish wheels that look nothing like Satin Silver metallic.

I was pissed and didn't want to spend more $$ just to return them, so I kept them and Chromed them. I thought about powder coating them silver, but didn't want to end up disappoinited about the color mis match.

So now I have have wheels that no one will ever have, I guess...? The coolest part about them is that the company Prodrive is more of a general contractor for racing parts and had these wheels made by Bridgestone just for racing. The reason I can tell is that there is a "B" symbol engraved on the inside lip of each wheel.

Anyways, never trust anyone's word when it comes to you car and when there is a LOT of money at stake. Lesson Learned.

Nice wheels indeed. Prodrive also has a WRC rally program with Subaru. They also do numerous other racing cars. Great company it seems.
