Aristo832,

I am curious how you got the wheels on. Did you have to drill the holes out bigger/wider? I have a hard enough time aligning wheels with the right bolt pattern without scratching up stuff. I can't imagine how you can get a wheel that is off to even bolt on.

Ok ...

Unslammed - this car would look hideous on account of the front spoiler/valence.

Slammed, good luck keeping all that plastic [firmly] attached to the car.

And wheels over 20 inches on passenger vehicles are just stupid. They look hideous and seriously hinder what might otherwise be respectable capability.

Of course, this is all just my opinion.

I just got coilovers on my car and I think you should get those before you get rims.

BTW is your kit a real admiration or is it a admiration knockoff? thx

I used to hang out a lot at my friends wheel shop.... I learned from them that 5x112 will bolt on to 5x114.... Just have to wiggle it on, but when its bolt on, its bolted on good. Try it out if you dont believe me.... The Volk DDs on my Acura came off of my friends GS300, which came off a CLK before him. I think some of ya have seen his GS before.... its Chameleon painted w/ the crazy *** system. (17 inch screens on the back of each seat)

What coilovers you get? I was thinkin of dropping the lex, but my acura is actually my show car.... I dont feel like droppin da lex, stock suspension feels good

Besides, the admiration kit is already too damn low to da ground!!! BTW, the kit is a real.... except the front..... It was replaced with a knockoff because the previous owners (my friends) mom messed up the front real bad.
