Horrible Wheels

I hope not. I think those fit the character of the first gen RL well.

The 1996-1998 ('99?) didn't have the greatest rims, but the 2000-2002 look nice on the car.

I do agree that the more full wheel looks better on it, but ive seen the same exact wheel, only its chrome.

So wait...you want the exact same wheel, except in chrome, but you're calling the non-chromed ones horrible? Umm...it sounds to me like someone just likes the idea of over-exaggerating things a wee bit...

That's it?

Is that all Acura has to offer for us? Yeah the rims are ok, but there should be more of a selection instead of all of us riding around in the same wheels. Aren't there newer Acura rims that could fit our whips and bring a little more diversity. Do I have to go to the aftermarket to get a nice set of 18's or 19's?

You forget that this car was introduced back in the day when 17" wheels from the factory were a big deal.

And the bolt pattern is 5×114.3.

You DO realize that the average buyer's age of the 1st generation RL was 50 ?

Yeah and I'd like to walk on water while I'm at it.

You need to pick one: Dry performance, rain grip, comfort/road noise and tire wear. Cant have them all rolled in one.
