Nice clean car. My car really needs a detail, clay bar, polish, wax, the whole thing. I don't really have many pics. I am always too lazy for that

Psssh you guys and your proper pictures. Heres what happens when you don't buy proper wheels and drive in the winter


The tires decided to undress themselves and try to run away from the wheel overnight. Like seriously...



And yes that is 2 flats. I had one donut. Luckily my gf's dad had an air compressor so I filled it up with minimal driving.

Lol nope the wheels are still with me. I figure I'll wash them and clean them up first before I sell them. They have a lot of caked dust on the barrels so I'll try to make them a bit more appealing.

I cleaned up the spacers and had to end up using steel wool to remove some of the rust. They look fine now except for scratches, but it's not like you'll be staring at spacers when they're mounted.

Ricky upload your pictures to a host site such as photobucket. Copy the IMG link, paste it here, and your pictures are available for viewing

man I tried to mount my wheels today and the 2 tires I got from a guy from 780 both have holes in them. YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE THESE DAYS. I am getting my money back tomorrow, or so he says but it's just a fucking headache. Went to Ed the tire mounting guy and he was very helpful and a cool dude. Recommend him for sure. And then after I went to my buddies place to unload the 2 tires that have tires on them and the buddy lays down one of the wheels scratching a lip FUCK today was a bad day for me. Sorry just had to vent

780wheels maybe. My buddy got some wheels there and they told him they would fit over his brakes. He got them and had the painted. In the end they didn't fit, and they gave him a full refund for the wheels and the paint job. They admitted their fuckup and corrected it. Mistakes happen but not a lot of places will admit to it or work with you to try and fix it

Damn Myron that sounds shitty. Hopefully you can get the money back on those tires. Ouch how bad is the scratch on the lip? Didn't you just have some of them refinished too?

Lol did Ed bring out his nsx to drive yet?

lip is scratched kind of bad but I have no funds to fix it at the moment. AND it's one of the wheels that was refinished. I am thinking of driving like that for a month or 2 so maybe then take it in to get it refinished. Maybe they won't have to take the tire off and they can just polish it off or something. Fuck I don't know. Yea i am meeting up with the guy tomorrow to get my money back and I am getting 2 new tires.

no his NSX is still there under the cover. Nice car damn. He's a cool dude, loves to talk haha But he's cool. He mounted those tires and they had holes in them then he was like OH man that sucks, and he didn't charge me for that shit, just for mounting 2 tires.

Do the scratches on the lip catch your nail when you run your hand over it? If not, I wonder if I'd be able to buff it out.

Once the rest of my shipments arrive, me and my brother's car will be the guinea pigs and then I'll work on yours asap.

lol :P....yaa tanny fluid and repaired one of my marker lights. it was cracked and water gets into when i wash my car. everything went good. just a pain in the ass to refill the tranny. i mean i got CAI so had a lot of room but still the refill plug is pretty far down. it took roughly 2.2L. acura says 2.1L but .1L isnt gonna hurt it . i recommend the tranny fluid change because when i drained mine i could smell the burnt fluid. not sure when the last change was. i drove it 30K so it was before that and i doubt the dealer changed it when i bought the car. i so wanna see ur car on those wheels..

yea those scratches are pretty deep, but now that I got 2 new tires mounted today they have some scrathes from the machine. I have nad nothing but problems with these so far. I am gonna mount them tomorrow and then I will post pics of the damage or we can meet up so you can see for yourself. For how much I got them for I can't really complain.

Yeah if they're deep unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to fix that. For light surface marks I'd probably be able to level it down. In this case, I would end up doing more harm than good lol.

Wow, another scratch 0,0. Unreal.

Anyway, guess what I saw? I saw a SSM 3G TL with RJ bumper. Yes, RJ bumper!

Raj, no more warranty I guess? 146k, that seems high to me.
