Very nice . I believe you are the second member here with RE30. The other was a black sedan. I've been waiting a long time for someone else to get the RE30 and take some nice photos which you have done very well .

The RE30 are some of the nicest aftermarket 18" that don't look small. Especially since they are 18" with a lip.

Are you lowered on sport suspension (ZSP) or on aftermarket? It appears from that one photo you don't have a sport steering wheel. I don't know how cars are equipped in Singapore. If your just on ZSP, that is amazing.

18x8.5 ET35 / 18x9.5 ET35. Correct?

Again, nice setup. 18" with a lip, looking that good . Volk done it again.

Thanks. What was I thinking, OEM sport . I've probably been staring at too many E92 front end std. sport suspensions.


Are those 'Chrome Silver' or 'Mercury Silver'? I've see pics of RE30 on ScienceofSpeed, Vivid Racing, TireRack, NSX forums, etc. I'm guessing Mercury Silver. TireRack just decides to call them bright silver which isn't accurate obviously. I wonder which of the two they sell.

It's already here--has been for a while. They're just hard to find (more demand than the 3-door). We opted for the 3-door b/c I just liked the looks a little better.
