Those are the same wheels I liked for the car. It's too bad they don't come in 18 inch size. Looks great though.

Hey,

Not a bad looking wheel, but not too much different from the stock. Unless you want to upgrade to 18 or 19 inch, I think there is little justification for spending money on another 17 inch wheel. I think the CL-S stock wheels are pretty nice. I bet that not everyone will notice your investment. But it's your money and you can do whatever you like.

they only made the rims in 17' or 19' so i opt to go with 17' cuz i don't want to worry about the tires rubbing and sacrafice the ride. i'm happy, therefore it is money well spent!!!!!!

Excellent. They look great. Although they're a 5-spoke design like the stock wheels, these look MUCH better and the difference is quite obvious. The spokes on the stock wheels are too fat!!

i think they look awesome. plus you ditched the stock tires as a result of your pkg and gained a handling benefit as well. sell the originals and the price of the improvement is downright cheap. also did tire rack give you a choice of offset? what offset did you get and would you change it if you could do it again?

silver/ebony
stock for the moment

I have to respectfully disagree with that statement. I think the reason the spokes on the stock wheels are "fat" is to cover up the ugly brake hardware. Acura didn't exactly go out of their way to include better looking brakes a la Corvette or Mustang Cobra. I would have paid another grand if the stock calipers had "TYPE S" or something like that written on them.

gsxracer.............they look great. I want to get 18" rims but they are 8.5" wide for the most part which means I'll be kicking up rocks past the useless mud guards and scratching my beautiful gold finish. Moda's are $$ well spent---I agree, the stock wheels are too "chubby" looking for my taste. You could paint the caliper hardware a nice color, now that you see it better.

Hey gsxracer,

Great wheels, I was actually talking to tire rack about the same setup but they didn't recommend it because of the rubbing. Kind of weird since a lot of people on this board went to a 225/45/17 tire and are not reporting any problems...do you get any rubbing with the new tire size?

Thanks in advance.

they told me the same thing about the tires will rubb. i've ask the local shop, discount tire direct, and people from this forum. some of the member has 235/45/17 and it doesn't rubb so i don't see y 225/45/17 would rubb. the car handle great with the new tires. im very happy with the setup and it hasn't rubb since i got it and i even had 4 people in my car. im getting the sways put on next week. plus the wheel radius is slightly smaller then the stock so i wouldn't understand y tirerack says that it's gona rubb
