Thanks everyone for such compliments.
Good to know that we share similar taste.
There's nothing like spending countless hours surfing the net, many hours elbow greasing, investing (definately NOT according to my financial advisor ) thousands of your hard earned money, waiting days, weeks and sometimes months for your parts to arrive, and after ALL that.......
Hearing compliments like these makes everything worthwhile and every penny well spent!!

POWERED by HONDA: i used to have Momo sport 17x8 and 18x10 like pic below

i wanted deep dish, lips!

Jchin: I thought the meeting was Sat. not Fri. Anyways, count me in.

Tantheman: running Eibach springs

Ajnsx: 18X8 offset 35 and 19X10 offset 25. it's very aggressive set up. i actually measured the rear wheel from inside. it was 11.5 inches wide. my 275/30/19 SO3 looked stretched.

 

[Teej]

very nice

 

[Tantheman]

Can I get your wife to talk to my wife?

Tan

 

[93B18]

I'm surprised you got the front wheel offset and tire size in there without any major issues? Do you rub at all in the front fenders? +35 offset is indeed an agressive setup for the front. What size are the wheel lips on the front and rear respectively? And would you mind posting pics of the car running along the side so we can see how flush the wheels are to the body? TIA.

Looks great. Now hows about hooking a brother up with those momos.

 

[mason@tirerack]

WOW! That car looks beautiful!! I love silver....

Tantheman : Patience my friend! Took me many years of begging, nagging, and negotiating. I lied. I begged mostly

93B18 : There are some rubbing issues at the front but rears are fine. Mostly during full lock and don't notice much driving around town. She is my daily driver. Front lips are about 3 inches with about 2 inches showing. Rears are whopping 5 inches but showing puny 4 inches
i looked into Volks, Racing Harts, 5zigens, other few but Enkei offered the biggest lips for the rear witout going into like Fikses, kinesis, or HREs. They were true 3 piece wheels and pretty light for 19s.

Cpmoran : Hope i can hook you up with my Momos but unfortunately left front wheel has a slight bend that shakes between 55 and 65 MPH. If i do decide to sell it. i will get it fixed and post later at the market. Stay tuned.

Mason@tirerack : If i knew you were with tirerack, i would have bought tires from you. I only get tires from you guys. You guys are the best! Next set, i will definately give you a call.

Hmmm.... I wonder if those Momo's would look good on my Monte Carlo Blue NSX.

I too want a rim with a lip... hmmm...

 

[NeoNSX]

Wow... could you inform you wife that my Birthday is in February? thanx.


i *LOVE* the 3rd pix from the top -- now THAT is a lip! (where's 5inchfatlip - he'd get a buz out of that photo!)
