I'm thinking about getting some rims for my CL as the stock CL-P rims suck. I've seen some rims, but i havent seen many after market rims i like on the CL, or more correctly that i would like to have on my car forever. But in the few pics i've seen of our CL's w/ the 3g TL rims i love the way it looks, they just fit the car, and i've always been a fan of simple 5 spoke rims.(and i dont plan on dropping the car, i know, 4x4, but thats why i'm sticking w/ stock acura rims, and not getting some extravagant showpieces)

So here's my request. Please, if you have the TL rims on your CL, show em off to me, all angles. I just want to get an idea of what they look like on the car. I would love to see some SSM w/ chrome tl rims(would be the combo i go for), but any will help me get a feel for what i could expect my car to look like. Thanks in advance.

are you serious? that's what you're getting?

 

Stealth was there any rubbing once the car was dropped, with the TL rims?

 

No, he didn't rub. Well, only on extreme dips.

 

I Got Tl Wheels On My Cls Im Thinking About Selling Them Pretty Soon.

 

Well that pretty much seals the deal, those rims fit the cl great imo, though i've still yet to see them in person(on a CL, i like the way they look on a TL). Still looking for someone with a set of chrome ones on their car, possibly a SSM? I know we got some more out there. Help motivate me to get another stock cl off the street. Thanks in advance.

 

lol...u turd, those are my new year round rims. I purchased those and another set that are 18s.

 

so yea he did rub then. lol. i dont get it when ppl say no i NEVER RUB, but only sometimes you either do or you dont.

 

you ho. how the hell was i supposed to know that? all talk and no pics.

 

in addition, the word tint should never be plural.

ok. right on. i didn't see the last page of that thread.

 

Dam, yous guys are too funny.

 

If your car rubs because you hit a huge dip in the road, then I would say that "sometimes" it rubs. The car never rubs unless I am abusing it or driving over shit that I shouldn't be.


btw: I bought stealth's car.

 

Also, mines shouldn't be used, unless someone is saying "All Mine's" lol

 

it's black or white. the wheels rub or they don't. the wheels fit or they don't. in this case, they don't fit. that's why you rub.

 

I rub on my stock wheels.

 

Wrong. They rub because I run a fatter tire than I have to. Just because a bit of your tire scrapes the inside of your wheel well doesn't mean your wheels don't fit.


If a tire rubs with the suspension fully compressed, I don't consider that to be a setup that rubs. If I ran a 225 I wouldn't "rub".

 

lets put it this way......

not lowered = no rub
lowered = rub...the lower it is, the more rubbing there will be, the max you are going to able to lower it is probably 2..2 1/2, if you dont want to rub

everybody happy?

 

at this trying to educate me. because a tire scrapes your wheel well is EXACTLY what it means. the wheel doesn't fit. why even attempt to justify it otherwise? i never scraped on anything and i have 19" wheels and tires. why? cuz i have the right offset and I have the right tire setup. it's black or white man. the relationship between tire ON the wheel and the wheel/tire setup onto your car are completely independent of each other.


first off, your suspension is far from "fully compressed". your suspension is an eibach set up of all things. your drop is conservative. you're running a 235series tire on your wheels to accomodate the 8" width of the wheel and you have a 45 series sidewall. by running 225 series on your wheel you end up doing what they call "stretch tire" and that fitment is incorrect. ya, you won't rub, but if you had aftermarket wheels on them you'd look like you were just putting your lip out there to be scratched by road debris.

that's what i've been trying to convey to the

 

You must feel real good calling someone a noob. I should probably bow down to you, oh king of the world of Acura CL's.

Fact of the matter is, you can rub with stock rims and tires also. If you don't believe me, hit a dip doing 60 and tell me you aren't rubbing.

And have a nice day.

 

So I guess when anyone goes wider with their wheel/tire size choices, they have the "wrong" wheels on their car. I'm not buying it.

 

I'm not going to argue with BrianLin, because he obviously has such a wealth of knowledge beyond me regarding wheel fitment, but this is what I'm getting at.

When I threw stock CL wheels and tires from my buddy's CL-P on my ride, it still rubbed, in the minor manner in which it does with my '04 TL wheels. Does that mean that the wheels don't fit right?

I'm just having trouble seeing how a wheel is "wrong" because I can get it to rub when I drive hard, just as the stock wheel would.


edit: I just realized my error with the 225 compared to my 235, touche. It still rubbed with stock wheels and a 225 tire. I was a bit under the influence when I typed that response last night.

 

That shows what smokin weed will do to ya.....I didn't even remember last night that I threw stockies on and the same shit happened. Before I had thrown those stockies on, I thought I rubbed because of my 235's. I realize my error. My bad.

 

damn, after all of this, i think you just owned yourself.

 

Guess so man, thanks for the comment.

 

:troutslap

 

hey guys i did put the tl 04 in my cl-s and so far no rubbing i have 225/55/17

55 is a huge tire, i would get 45 series

 

yes true but no rubing so far i will chage the tires later on when i get some more $$$

 

I really want to get them, how much did they run you if you don't mind?

 

you mean the tires or the rims? the tires i gues depends where you buying and from who but the rims i was so lucky i only pay $275. and the guy who sold it to me took it of from his tl and just stored they look like new i am pretty happy my self.
but i fond lots of info here www.thewheelwarehouse.com
and i got my rims here www.craigslist.org

 

oh one more thing the tires i bought i just pay $200 for the set not bad used of course but lots of life so basicly is just spend $475. rims and tires not cheap but not bad i gues

 

Thats a great price, im more worried about finding the rims for a good price than tires, I hope I can get a good deal like that, i really want these

 

hey bud hit the net u never know but the rims if u get it on ebay or the warehouse is like 175 and up each so good luck

 

 

I'm thinking about selling my 2004 TL wheels.
