Looks good, now I remember where I have seen those wheels before...they are almost an exact clone of the wheels on the 03 CL Type S.

Which they copied off the Kosei's!!

And you should talk about "clone" wheels Mr. TE37. *cough Rota cough*



When's the SCCA event again?

rarest, I hear you on the alignment brotha...I got about 12K from my fronts and had to replace them both...still going on my rears at about 20K (not a ton of tire spin from the 'ol NA but LOTS of twisties hehe). The -2 degrees of camber up front is a bit aggressive for the street but the car feels SO good with this setup - I recommend good camber plates to everyone to dial in an alignment you like. so kev, still gonna take the wheels off to clean them?

Heh, TIMMAY!!

I'm pretty happy with the way they look and drive. Only 33.8lbs each corner, and the car actually feels a little faster.

Probably my imagination!

Yo Kevbo nice pics @ golden hour man. I dig on the rims.. good choice and now I can stick with bronze and you can be gunmetal and we won't have to fight about it

They look good on her man. WAY glad you got these over some of the other schawab things you were looking at!

kevin...your car is the Suck..



























not really though, im just jealous my S isnt as clean as yours. i know your old wheels would be quite nice w/ my Noble white paint... course, maybe its Too much white. those are pretty nice wheels, i saw them on tire rack a few years ago, i wanted to get some kosei's for my DSM cuz they were super light... ended up w/ Discontinued Enkei's...
