SUP TO ALL THE PIMPS W/ THE NICE RIDES OUT THERE. I BOUGHT MY 2001 CL TYPE-S OVER THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND MAN THAT'S A BAD RIDE. 2001 CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED, EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND OH YEAH, I HAD THEM PUT THE 2004 ACURA TL A-SPEC RIMS ON IT. ALL THIS OUT THE DOOR FOR $19,500. HERE IS A LINK TO MY PAGE AT CARDOMAIN.COM, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK AND IDEAS. I PLAN TO HIT IT WITH A FULL COMPLIMENT OF BOLT-ONS BY COMPTECH AND I'LL SOON BE CHANGING THE GOLD PACKAGE TO THE SILVER PACKAGE. I WANTED TO DROP IT AT FIRST BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT DUE TO WARRANTY ISSUES. ANYWAY, THANKS FOR DROPPING BY AND I HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

Dark Syde

other than comptech, who would you recommend for lowering springs? comptechs' springs drop the car 2", it doesn't seem that i have enough clearance

Dark Syde

HR, TEIN and a few others. If you remain with those rims you'll be fine.

ya they look cool on there, but they do stick out and i wouldnt want it to look like that

Time For Sleeep

I coulda sworn that I read somewhere on a-cl that the a-spec rims aren't even supposed to fit? I absolutely wanted to get 'em. Syde, how much did you get 'em for? They look awesome on the ride.

-And where does it stick out? I don't see it?

SocaliCLS

how many miles on ur car?

Nice ride.

Nice! the A-SPECS compliment your car very well.

Dark Syde

Time for sleep: The rims do fit, CL and TL use the same axles but slightly different offsets. Consequently, the rims do stick out on the sides of the car about a half inch. As for the price, I had the rims put on the car and wrapped into the deal. If you bought them outright you're looking at spending at least $2,500 for rims and tires. The car is certified and the rims and tires are brand spanking new (in fact, I had them pull the rims off a TL they had on the lot). They gave me the wheels for $2,000 on top of the price of the car. When all was said and done I paid $19,500 out the door.

SocaliCLS: As of right now, 49kj. I bought the car at 47k.

DEI99662/Mark307: Thanx.

Here is a view that better shows how much the rims stick out

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the board.

Car looks great man.

There are two A-Spec wheels. The '04 models, and the newer ones. The '04 ones are 8.5" wide and have a darker color to them. The newer ones are only 8" wide, and have a lighter color to them.

Personally, I think that the rims don't work with the car at all. But, good luck with the car.

SocaliCLS

its different... i kinda like it.. welcome to the family!!

Time For Sleeep

Red X .

From the cardomain pics though, I still really like it. NICE.

Edit: nvm, no red x. It's not TOO bad. Nice.

I guess we need to better define the word "fit"

Yes they are 5x114.3 but wheels are meant to sit inside the wheel wells (or at least flush with them)

kspekCLS

niiice, wonder how much they stick out...roll your fenders and slamm that bish
