Dropped Desert Mist on RonJon Legend 19's Liquid Silver

With out further ado, (is that spelled right?)

Anyways just got them mounted and ate some tacos, and took some pics..

I was a little worried about the finish, thinking they were a little too light and that i should have gotten the graphite ones, but once they were on i was like DAMN those things are HOT as HELL

I love the way they look, you can see everything behind them, nothing is hidden looks real good with the brembo calipers, rotora slotteds, and TEIN SS

They are all wrapped up in 235-35-19 Goodyear Eagle F-1's























VERY HAPPY!!

What does everyone think?

AAAA+ work RonDog

All depends on how you set them up you can make them more firm or less firm in no way it is bouncy. I think how i have it set up is far superior to stock

A little more firm in the front a little more soft in the back since the are pretty much directly under where rear passengers sit


Would buy them 10X over, Excellerate installed them for me and he did a great job

Looks good man. I really like the design of that wheel but dislike the fact that they have no lip. I like wheels that have lips.

For as much as I generally do not like gold cars, I would buy yours if it was on the lot. It looks really, really good.

Oh, and way to go big-time with the quality tires. A lot of people kind of skimp on the tires after they break the bank with the rims they just bought. "Brakes stop your wheels, but tires stop your car"... or so they say.

Lookin' great, man!

Those rims look HOT!!!

I like your car a lot!! I have the same color, but you don't see a lot of desert mists out there with mods. I want to do some mods on mine. And I'm probably going to start with the a-spec body kit. What do you think? Any Ideas?

Best looking DMM....

A Spec Kit is the best mod for the money..

Then tinted windows

Then Type-S tails and side markers

Then custom painted headlights

Also if you got the funds get a DROP looks 10X better

First the A-Spec was installed at Park Ave Acura in New Rochelle NJ

It is not lined up wrong

Got the Acura center caps on Ebay, had them for about 4 months still look great

What whole set up? Rims and Tires or everything on the car?

I had most of the work done in Jersey when i lived there, and was actually cheaper on the East Coast to my suprse.

Rims and tires installed is the following Tires with warranty and sales tax = $1000, rims with shpping like $1450 + mounting $60, plus Gorilla lugs $40, + Acura valvestems $30 TOTAL = $2580

Looks great. Any chance of pics in the sun? They look the same as my Liquid Graphite. Maybe need to see the 2 next to each other.

We agreed that if anything gets worse on the wheel then they will replace it.

Also gave them a bunch of pics and a letter conveying my message
