Default Pics NO 56K Vizage kit/New RonJon Wheels Stag

[/IMG]This is probably the first time I have post pics of my whole car, Ill be switching my front vizage lip for the wald rep lip since I cracked it over the winter. I just mounted/balanced the wheels last night at my friends shop. And thanks to Paul (AKA TeCKis300) for the tires

I got these wheels from my friend who designs/manufactures them. Ronjon Wheels - Inspyres

18x7.5 (50 offset) 225/40/18 in the front and 18x8.5 (42 offset) 245/35/18 in the rear
It looks I can even be able to go 255 with no problems, 265 will prob rub if there is someone in the back and my system

I got some other stuff ill put on before the summer

any comments welcome

Welcome to Clublexus, nice pics. Yeah Ronjon is a cool guy, he really is working hard on making quality mods for Acura, I hope those Acura guys support him.

I always was a fan of those wheels (I love split 5 spokes) they look great on the IS.

yea, my front is cracked, im gonna switch to the wald rep lip. Ron is a good guy, i do a little bit of work with him in regards to his wheel co, and I needed a new set of wheels and he had them lying around for a killer deal so we tried doing the stag setup and it worked. And they look pretty good IMO on the is300

I use to be a member on the a-cl/tl ect boards but then I got banned when i was trying to tell the tsx guys that the is300 is not a good comparison to the tsx and i posted some real 1/4 and 0-60 times which they thought was bull, and then they claimed i was a troll who kept using the same ip to make new names up and post.....oh well (i think you might have actually chimed in on the thread...)

it is very durable but the ice chunk i pulled into was perfectly in line where the lip overruns the side next to the foglight so im guessing it bent in right there causing it to crack
