Where to get wheels?
Found out my latest selection of wheels won't fit either...now I'm lost and running out of options. Where else can I look for wheels that fit this car and look good?
Thanks
Thanks

Well if you like the Stern Beast HS series like the one i had.. you can always choose to go with a different spec..
18x8 5/114.3 +48 offset should fit our cars.. even with +48 you might even be able to fit the 18x8.5.

Checking their fitment against Acura 3.2 CL;
"The Stern ST-1 Face III Beast - Hyper Silver 19" wheels will not fit a 2003 Acura CL 3.2.
That wheel diameter may be too large for your vehicle."
"The Stern ST-1 Face III Beast - Hyper Silver wheels will fit a 2003 Acura CL 3.2
Stern ST-1 Face III Beast - Hyper Silver 18" x 8" - 5/114.3 - 48mm $269.99 (CAD Currency)"

Discount Tire Direct

Another option - they also have a tire simulator like tire rack.
No matter what - be prepared to be given options on wheels that won't fit. Most of the sites are pretty good about giving you a width/offset that will fit. However, sometimes they'll try and tell you an 18x8 with a 35 offset will fit! Yikes.
My only gripe with tire-rack is that they won't give you the specs on any of their wheels. They just want to know what car you have and won't give you a straight answer on what the actual specs are.
Example: saw a CL on the forum with moda r6 wheels. Tire rack says "will not fit your car." I asked again for the specs: "will not fit your car." Another member suggested telling them you don't own a car, but will buy one that fits the wheels! Geez!
At least discount tire gave me the offset and weight when I asked them.

Yeah, the Tire Rack and Discount Tire Direct were first on my list of places to contact about wheels. I did end up getting my wheels from Discount Tire Direct...I just installed them this past friday, will post pics soon.
