1st gen RL with 2nd gen RL wheels?
Anyone done it? I found a set of 2005 RL wheels for $200 for sale locally and thinking about running them as a winter set on an 02 RL.
Has anyone done this? It's a good price. Are there any pictures of this set up floating around?
Thanks in advance.

What do you guys think of the Genesis 19" wheel?
Found a local sale, thinking about going to check if it'll fit the RL once I pick it up. It is a staggered set up though... 19x8 and 19x8.5

Out of all the RL wheels, the '02 looks the best

The 2002 Acura 3.5 RL is equipped with wide P225/55R16 Michelin tires (up from 215/60R16 Michelin in 2001)

You should all check the Acuranews.com under the Archive section, look up the different years for the RL and see what changes they made.
I'll make a sticky and a model year post.

^Thanks! That does look really good. I always wanted TL-S rims for my TL but I have the 2.5 with 4 lugs - never had many options.
I think you just pushed me into the right direction, thank you.

i believe those are from a CL-S; i would get the CL-S because they're 17x7 while the TL-S is only 17x6.5.

CL-S wheels are tough to find but worth it

If I do, I'd keep the stock wheels..
Tried these babys on yesterday:

I might just stay stock though and save up for an e30 again. This would be my 3rd.

tires are yokohama avid v4 all-season tires in size 225/55/16 with roughly 70% left all around. wheels have minor surface scratches from usage and balance weights. no cracks, bends or any deep scratches; tires are in excellent condition with even wear. looking to get $350 for all 4. since you're local, save on shipping.

i know what you mean...and it's a pain to see a new door ding every time after going to a crowded place..like the mall or theater. most of the time, i always park far away from everybody else..trying to avoid door dings. but regardless, there will always be those that will do it on purpose. people are so disrespectful these days....

I got a question though, what's the best size tires on TL-S rims on an RL? I think I have 255/45/17 right now and I don't like it at all

do you have any pics? why don't you like it? i was actually thinking of going 235/45/17 but not sure how it'll fit and look.

I'd go with a 235 MAX, stock is 225.
What do you have on there now?

I guess I don't like it because of the wheel well gap and I feel a lot of the road which I think is because of the thinner 45?
