TL is almost ready to come back home, I also need to get new tires before I can give it to sister/mom. The problem is I am torn between what rims to keep. 16" S2000 or 17" unknown brand that were on the car when I bought it? Including pics to make it easy. I am leaning towards S2000 rims but 17" fill the wheel well better. Both weight almost the same give or take 1 lbs.

S2000 wheels (Of course on 97 TL)





17" what's on the car right now.





Full side shot before lowering.

 

16 s2000 wheels look way better gives you car a cleaner look also.

 

I like the s2000 wheels.

But...

I also like the 17" wheels. I know it looks good if you have that same drop that's in your first two pics, with the 17" wheels.

17" get my vote.

 

I see what are you saying. To be honest this is what the car looked like for the most part. Those first two pics are from when I got her lowered before any adjustments.









I know I am pic whoring...

 

get some 2G TL Type S rims

 

Would like to have those but too hard to find for reasonable price. Or first gen TSX rims look hot on first gen TL..

 

So I guess its S2000's then? Getting new tires and alignment tomorrow..

 

Just switch them up when you get bored. Just rotate between the wheels

 

I think you should get some chrome 20s

 

20's are weak sauce, I wanna do 22's with some autozone spacers to compliment the spinners.

 

forget the spacer, get some chunks of wood and maybe even rocks and shove it in between the springs

 

Lol ^^^
I know you will go with the s2k's bc if you don't your gonna sell em to me riiiiiight!!?? Lol im happy your getting your car back! Ill miss mine when she's getting fixed can't wait to see new new pix!

 

She's back and running smooth. Drove her for few miles today, freaking beautiful. Reminded me of 97. Getting new tires and alignment tomorrow..

BTW S2000's are finalized. Keeping the 17" for now too and may switch them around as Mike said.

 

I have a set of acura center caps that should fit those s2k rims. That way people wont get confused. Honda or Acura??? Ahhhh

 

I was thinking about replacing the Acura emblems on the car with Honda one's to confuse people more...lol

 

Uh...what kinda honda is dat? I ain't never seen one like it...(eyes glaze)

 

Have every badge and cap say Honda. I don't like the A, personally.

BTW, which Acura rim has a 3" center cap?

~Cheers~

 

i like the ones on the grey Acura

 

Get some 3rd gen rims as I have.

i personally think 20 are to much, the tires stick out, and the car is too high of the ground. me 17 with 2 inch drop is perfect

 

yeah I added to much system in the trunk and now my baby dragging midgets

 

English?

 

Let me rephrase front of my car sits higher do to the weight of the amplifiers sub woofer and sub woofer enclosure

 

Oh ok. Got you
