Newb Wheel Questions...

hola all!

Picked up me 05 RL in LSM. Friggin love it! Of course, lookin at new shoes, maybe not now but definitely in the spring.

Is the bolt pattern for the RL same as the TL?
Where can I find black chrome A Specs? Are they still OEM or am I searching eBay?

Lastly, are the wood steering wheel and shift knobs not made anymore? I've been to a few sites but they say "Discontinued"

Thanks for anyone that helps!

You can still get the steering wheel and shift knob on ebay. Those listings are from dealers anyway.

The bolt pattern of the RL is different from most TL's except the latest generation. The RL pattern is 5 x 120, whereas the 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen TL, and a lot of other cars like Accord, Camry, etc are 5 x 114.3.

I found a good deal on the black chrome A-spec at Acura of Lynnwood in WA. $1440 plus shipping ($100) and TPMS sensors and label are included. See below.

"Black Chrome" isn't actually the color black. The Aspecs that Heavy has (used to be Snow's) were powdercoated black, I believe. You can find anything OEM on oemacuraparts.com including Aspecs, wood wheel, and wood shifter.
