Damn man, nice wheels. Good prices too!!!! If I didn't buy my Konig's, I'd definately hit you up with the servo's.

ferizzo

I see it! I like them. The inspyres I like more. the servos look like some lusso or russo wheels that anthony_chirico has.

RonDog-

Looks like things are coming together for you...I really do not care for the Servo, but I do like the Inspyre in the Silver. Looking forward to the prospects of a nice body kit...I guess we will wait and see.

Something to consider...would be a Grille kit for the 01-03 CL/TL.

Grille-tech is working on a set, but it could be a long time before we ever see one.

I have built my own grille, but it was a ton of work and getting it powder-coated is tough for a home project. If you could have them mass produced then it might make better sense.

I am sure you have a ton on your plate, but it is something to consider...

I def want to make a custom grille for our cars, like a deep intake grillewith some nice preforated metal in flat black orbrushed aluminum, but that will take alot of work to find a company to build them the right way. Soon enough. I can see why other companies won't really do much for the CL and now that the car is discontinued, there is hesitance to produce anything for us. But I will be working diligentyly for those loyal customers who stick with the CL.

I'll take my 18 inch Servo in silver please... Very nice...

jimcol711

why wouldnt these work on ANY car besides a honda/acura?? surely that offset range with work with cars not made by honda and that bolt pattern isnt anything special or specific to honda. i bet those servos would look nice on my Audi A6

rondog

centerbore, right now it is at 64.1 which is the acura spec. if Audi is smaller, it will fit but it won't be hubcentric and the wheel will rest on the lugs risking vibrations. in the future,i may open it up a little for hub adapters, but I wanted to focus on Acura vehicles first.

jimcol711

ahh, i see. so much technical design goes into rims, its crazy.

rondog-

how much would shipping be for 4 rims?

the inspyres, are real hot man, i think your rims definetely have a unique look to them

mattg

do it steve. they're only $900.

scalbert

One thing at a time.

BTW, we need to talk about the manifold and you not doing the injector base. I'll PM you later.

BEETROOT

thought it was $1k?

mattg

i'll do the injector base, just tell me what to do.

BEETROOT

no shit! I think I just went straight to the wheels without reading that part

I'll be picking up a set of these for sure.

scalbert

Mailbox full so:

I may consider picking up a set and polishing them for you. That way the set I get in return can also be polished and potentially sold, with a core charge of course, and so on, and so on....

I'm going to check pricing and see if I can get this done next week. I'll let you know.

Rondog - From your website:

INSPYRE
Sizes: 5x114.3
-18”x 7.5” +50mm
-18”x 8.5” +42mm
-19”x 7.5” +50mm
-19”x 8.5” +42mm
Finishes:
-Hyper Silver
w/ Machined Face.
-Chrome.

SERVO
Sizes: 5x114.3
-17”x 7.0” +50mm
-17”x 7.0” +42mm
-18”x 7.5” +50mm
-18”x 7.5” +42mm
Finishes:
-Hyper Silver
w/ Machined Face.
-Chrome.

are the wheel/offsets as listed above for the SERVOs correct? For the INSPYREs you have a fixed (50mm) offset for the 7.5"ers (regardless of diameter) and a fixed (42mm) offset for the 8.5"ers (regardless of diameter), yet for the SERVOs you have a fixed width for each diameter, but with two offset choices. Am I missing something?

Also, do I recall you mentioning something about wheel/tire packages?
And how soon until you get some real photos of the variations mounted on cars (vehicle showcase).

And finally, I don't see any mention about shipping charges. Is this something you have yet to figure out?
tks for the info, and looking forward to seeing these things for real.

Rondog, I take my hat off to you!!! Unbelievable, the CL will be saved by people just like you...I rather spend my money with a true Acura/Honda tuner than with some of those huge warehouse jerks! Now I need to get out there and "Get Money!" for a set of your wheels.

2003type-s6

Nice. Count me in for a set of Inspyres silver in either 18 or 19's x 7.5. The 19's look sweet, but I do not want any rubbing when I get the car dropped, so I might need some help with choosing a tire and rim size when the time comes. It's going to be about a year before I get them, because I am on deployment, but excellent job, thats pretty much the exact style rim I was looking for. They are made specifically for Honda/Acura, so I assume the 50 offset will not have any negative side effects, right? I support the small businessman, and I have the ronjonwheels website saved in my email just in case I forget!

everything above is correct, the servos fit the cls, tls, and rsx and the inspyres fit the cls, tls and 04 TL. I thought that the servo wouldn't appeal to 04TL guys anbd the Inspyre wouldn't appeal to the rsx guys. had to have cost efficiency. as for the tire packages, I'm gonna take a knee on that, right now, i have to start moving the wheels and seeing what to order next, plus, I would rather ou guys get the tires you want mounted and balanced by your reputable guy. I'm not at that level yet when it comes to tires and mounting. shipping varies according to your location, call in with your zip code and i can get you some more info. I am working on getting actual gallery photos of the wheels mounted on the cars, i just got he wheels 24hrs ago, it takes time. thanks for your interest.

rondog

iTrader: (1)

there will be no rubbing, with the high offset and 7.5 width. I am going to experiment with different tire sizes like 225/40/19 and 225/35/19 to see what I can get away with. thanks for your support.

TypeSAddict

Hey rondog,

Any idea when these are going to start really being available to board members? I'm flat broke now, but once I get some cash this summer, this is gonna be my first purchase.

May 10th is the schedualed debut.

rondog-

how much will you be charging for shipping for 4 rims....

thanks

blackmagiCL_S

Maybe I missed it, how were these made? Doubtfully forged...but welll made? I got really bent over for my Mille Miglia wheels and I trusted the name...Mille Miglia is a pretty big name. Someone sneezed next to my car and it bent my wheels. :P No more Mille Miglia.

Shipping and (do you get a discount or tires?). I'm interested. If you can give me one trial rim to drive through Boston with. Bwaaahhhhaahhhaahhh! No really...they look good. Once they are tried and true I might....no seriously. I like them. Inspire. 4x18x7.5 shipped....

unlemmingTL

Those chrome inspyres don't look very shiny in that picture, do you have better pictures coming? Are they triple plated? Looking good, still don't know if I like servo or inspyre better.

bigman

The inspyres dont look shiny in the pic, but i have seen them in person and they are hot. Just remember that they dont have much Surface to chrome. And for blackmagic, i have a friend that bent a set of forged BBS wheels, so its not always the company, its how you hit that pot hole sometimes.

scalbert

I had never really considered rim but since this would be unique tot he Acura world and would be from a dedicated member I am seriously reconsidering my initial thoughts.

As I said earlier, I’ll take my Servo’s in silver.

They will definitely require some big brakes behind them though.

CERISE

hey ya'll, n e one runnin around toronto can check my 01 CLS named Cerise ("cherry" in french) rollin around town. this will be my first time postin on here, and thats cus im lovin thoses servos and had to giv respect to rondog!!!! just wanted to kno why theres no 19's in them, and whether ill be able to get in up here in T-DOT?!?!?!?

rondog

iTrader: (1)

I would need your zip code to calculate.

rondog

iTrader: (1)

same manufacter that ASA uses, and the wheels are high pressure cast, not gravity cast. Once again, I have bent 3 wheels in my life, they where 1 18" and 2 19" and I knew they were bent when I hit those potholes. Physics can bend and crack even forged wheels, especially when your running 35 series tires. but we'll see, i'm goint to have the chrome inspires in 19" so i will be prety much testing these out as well to see just how they hold up.

SiGGy

Props to you man, good job! And great prices.

Post some pics when you have them mounted!

rondog

iTrader: (1)

funny you asked ... the wheels wheren't even balanced, i just mounted them to see how they would look. the Inspyres are with 235/35/19 and have a nice amount of sidewall in person to help the ride a bit. the Servos have 225/40/18, only because i had those in my garage, 235/40/18 or 225/45/18 would still look just as good with more comfort than these. don't mind my drop, i had a bad batch of used comptechs which look barely dropped in combonation with the silver. I photoshopped the rear wheel on some pics to get a better idea of how the whole car will look.

TypeSAddict

Both are hot. It's gonna be a hard decision....

danny25

i can't tell if i like the inspyres more cause they are the 19s in the pics or if it's just cause they are so sweet lookin

rondog

iTrader: (1)

man, I keep finding myself just staring at the wheels from my window. I seriously can't wait to get the actual wheels to mount them.

BEETROOT

those look GREAT

NiteQwill

Wow, the wheels turned out great!

I want the Servos!

SiGGy

When are you going to start taking orders? (just checking my finances)

Specifically on the 18" double spoke ones

EDIT:

NM, I see the May date in an earlier post. I was going to order some Nakayama Vador 5 wheels. But yours blow them away.
