The hottest RLs on the street 20” 8.5 custom grille

This is why Acura or RL doesn’t selling well they like of vip look not flashy or bling bling, it’s so hard to fit big custom wheels on acura , trust me if they can make they cars look something like this they will be number one or two best selling luxury car in America cause we all know Honda make good cars

Tanks man I seen your car around I like it you done a great job to it’s specially in the inside, one thing I dislike about your car is the wheels they to small maybe you have your reason, you done everything right to the car, you have to go big on the wheels this is a big body car 18” wheels wont do this car any good, cause the car is very soft you need some nice big wheels to bring it out beside that your car look great

What kind of rims are those? Do they ever scrub? I was under the impression that it takes alot of work to get anything wider than 7.5" on a 20 to fit.

Um... ok. If I can decipher this attempt at English, I gather your point is that Acura would sell more cars if they put bigger wheels on them?

Wow. Yeah, that's it. We need the Acura RL Donk Edition, let's jack 'em up and put 33's on there, then they'll outsell Toyotas!

Year that’s right this is the reason Chrysler 300 and Cadillac out sold Acura! Like I fuc***g said Acura need to start selling real luxury cars not 85% luxury cars this is the millennium not the 90’s, people know about cars this day people will not be paying 10 to 20 thousand of dollar extra for a rebage Honda any more cause when I first go my RL 4 years ago people seen just a big Honda accord now after spending a couple of thousand dollar on it and throw some D’s on it now people telling that’s a nice car asking me if that a Lexus or a Benz that’s very sad that I have to spent a couple of thousand dollar on a flagship luxury car to give it a luxury look Acura need to get the sh*t together or they will be scrapping! ohhh let me put that on English you discontinue one of they model every other years just like they did to the CL, RSX, NSX and now RL what’s next RDX like I fu****g said if you don’t like it you know what

I think that's the market that Acura redlines lol.

I don't know about anyone else's cars on this forum or the looks they get, but my stock '98 and '04 get the same "Is that a Benz/Lexus?" and "You drive a Lex right?" kind of comments from random people.

And about the wheels, the wheels don't sell the car. The car sells the car, it's not about the size of the wheels because anyone buying Acura's brand new could probably give two shits about how big the wheels are (probably because they don't care, or they know they can change them if they wanted to).

The RL is stuck on the lot because @ 50k you're not exactly buying it because it's rational, you're buying it because you can. With that being the case, if I had 50k to blow on a car, I'd be looking at the Infiniti M or the Lexus GS...why? because I would be able to and secondly I'm not looking for a value purchase @ 50k and above. If I wanted value, I'd stay with Acura.

Acura needs to market the RL to peoples emotions and not their wallet...and the fact that the new RL looks like a tick doesn't help either.

Even Jay-Z knows what not to do with a car:


I did all that by the age of 21
by 22 I had that brand new Ac Coupe
I guess you can say that my legend just begun
I'm, young enough to know the right car to buy
yet grown enough not to put rims on it

yeah have u seen what Jay-Z drive! bentley and maybach, when you drive bentley and maybach you doesn't need custom wheels to separate yourself from the rest, people can see you coming from mile away

Remember that Acura doesn't sell 100% luxury car, they sell 85% luxury car or you can call it's fancy honda, if you want to turn your Acura into a 100% luxury car you might have to add the other 15% out from your pocket which is add some pillars, custom grill or throw some D's on that bitc* so that people might start realize that you driven a luxury car

JQM what there fuc* your country as* know about cars or custom wheels why don't you stick with does ugliest RonJonwheels like everyone else in here

The car looks good. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's what you like that matters. Another thing there's no need to bash ron he's just trying to provide us with acura specific products. Keep modding.

I love Jay-Z but homeboy was right. When your driving a Bentley, you do not need rims. Matter of fact, he's kind of wack for saying that. That's Jay for you though.

My Rl

I have pics coming soon of my RL with the DUBS on it. I have also put in a 1200 watt Sony Explode amp, one 12" sub, 1200 watts and Sirius Sattelite radio. Looking to add one more thing and that's a chrome muffler.

One has some flag on it, the other doesnt?

Why is there a need to bitch on forums about what a car should and shouldn't be. This is why there is a market for cars...to access peoples needs. I personally think the custom grille looks like crap, but that is my opinion. I am still going to give you props on making your car look good to YOU. That is all you have to do. Who the fuck cares what Jay-Z drives and what seperates him from the rest. This is the problem with people today. They all buy cars to impress other people. Fuck other people, buy a car because you like it, not because Jay-Z has one.

Good job on your car. Not my cup of tea, but you can tell that you put time into it. I think the 18's look great. You could throw 20's on it, but, imo, the 18s fit perfectly.

The "different"?

Sure. As you might say, "I kan tellz u different."

One's a perfectly fine, if somewhat shopworn, first gen RL.

The other one is a formerly fine, somewhat shopworn, first gen RL with ugly ghetto wheels on it.

The difference? To start, probably about four MPG less from additional unsprung weight and increased rolling resistance, not to mention all those people pointing and laughing as you drive down the street.

Really, I never understood why anyone would take a cheap car and put expensive wheels on it. Not only does it look idiotic, but if my limited budget would only allow me, for example, to buy $10000 worth of car, I think I'd spend it all on the car.... I wouldn't spend $8000 on the car and $2000 on wheels, that'd be just plain dumb.

Oh, wait....

[ jftjr ] Yo you right, You a very smart guy like you said this days everyone is driving luxury car or I can say everyone buying luxury car but not everyone can effort to buy a set of wheels for $3000 and up, oh ok now I see where all the player hater coming from anyway I knew you were a mart guy so tell me where do you stand cause one minute you calling the wheels ugly the next minute you call them expensive and then you call RL a cheap car and RL suppose to be Acura flagship luxury car so what that tell you about Acura, man you sound like one of those guy in the courthouse telling the judge I didn’t do it than when he found you guilty giving you a life sentence you turn around say yes I did it just to get less time in jail, now I see why your girl wear the pants while you wear the dress, yo you a man when you said something stick with it no matter if dude have 45mm on your head stick with it.



My fellow American friends don’t be surprise when you see president bush Cadillac sitting on some 22” ghetto wheels rolling from the white house, once again this is the future buy big body luxury car and sit them on big wheels none less then 20” don’t you see how those big luxury car maker in America adopting to the system to increase sale, I repeat that’s why Acura not selling well cause they so slow to catch up

Just because something may be expensive, doesn't mean it can't be ugly. There's lots of expensive and ugly things in this world. Your rims are a perfect example. Money can't buy class, son.

The rest of your post is so completely rambling and frankly, incomprehensible, that I'm not going to bother responding to it.

Oh, and I drive an '06 RL, thanks.
