I'm going to try to adjust the hangers on the car by bending them and see if that helps...

I love the idea of white NSX spec regamasters on this car. I was actually never a huge fan of the purple/blue and liked the original silver better.

I tried that, but I don't think I bent them enough. It been like that for almost 2 years now, so I'm not entirely worried.

Me too, but it's hard to find a set and I honestly like the blurple on the silver. I'm actually 9 years old and I still like contrasting wheel colours.

I love your rim colour Fernando, hopefully you can restore it.

Before I painted my rims I thought that I would go with white wheels. The owner of the wheel paint shop that I use let me bring home some white wheels to test fit on my car, and it just didn't look as good as I thought it would. I ended up going with blue rims. Your rim colour is sweet.

Since the HKS dual is a 4 pc system, i can almost guarantee bending the hangers wouldn't be necessary. Due to the 4 pc design, there are 3 sets of flanges that can be adjusted wrong, making the tips crooked. Minute adjustments in the piping before you tighten the flanges together will likely get it to line up correctly. Easiest way to do it is to have a friend help. One person under the car and one person out back spotting. Slowly tighten the flanges while making adjustments to the system and it will fit better.

Thanks Joey! Who know's, I may even keep the blurple colour.

I find myself going through phases, some days I want to spend so much money on this car and other days I just want to enjoy it how it is and put my money towards a house instead. We'll see how I feel on the specific day I do something about these rims.

17x7.5 +50 and 17x9 +63 with 225/45 and 255/40 tires. It's a fantastic setup that doesn't need fenders rolled, do it!

I was just so excited driving it home. My dad was following me and after I merged onto the highway, top down and all, he pulls up beside me and said "I haven't seen you smile that big in forever."
