Thank you everyone. 
If any of you have ever tried to find staggered 18/19 wheels that fit an Acura for less than $3000 you would understand why I had to settle for something financially feasible. They are certainly not my first choice, but if you saw the wheels it came with you would understand. They will be replaced in good time as finances allow. I decided to go with a timing belt/water pump and ok wheels as opposed to great wheels and bent valves
As for future mods - $20,000 for a fully tuned turbo setup or $12,000 for a supercharger - I'm leaving her like this

Looks good Jonny!
I noticed that you're missing the front plastic lip. There are 2 oem styles that will fit our cars - the original, thin lip (about .5 inch thick) or '97+ style (about 1.5 inches thick). The original thin lip is no longer produced. I like the look of the newer lip, but since it's lower it scrapes a lot more. No big deal though, as it is an unpainted piece and runs about a $100 or so:
To me, the front end feels more stable and planted with the lip in place.
