What do you guys think?

I just put the wheels on my car today, and I just wanted to get everyones opinion. I was a little hesitant about the gray wheels, but I am very pleased with them once they were put on the car. The are Forgeline WC3's, 18x8 in the front, and 18x8.5 in the rear. I bought them at The Wheel Source in Dayton, Ohio.

:p

I forgot to write in the original post that I have Eibach springs, only I haven't had a chance to install them yet. I agree, it will look a lot better lowered.

Yes, there is a center cap missing from the front. The hub sticks too far out through the center of the wheel for the cap to fit. I am going to have to try to figure something else out on that.

I will have to get a picture of the NSX on here, it is a beautiful car.
It's more of a track car, and at most times, not very pratical for the street.

I like those Rims, something different. You dont see dark rims very often. The only thing they dont look like 18s, weird. Anyway lower the car and maybe tint the windows and it will be perfect.

Are those dark rims or just a lot of brake dust?

I am getting a set just so you can't see when it has brake dust.

It's a loose, loose to post a picture of yourself. If you're cute, the guys will pounce and continue to do so, if not, they will ignore you.

RacerGirl4j, your rims look great!!!!
