My 05 LSM

253RL

2005 acura RL LSM, started stock ofcourse, then did the ZDX wheels for a while but needed to get away from the luxury look and back to the sporty look.. With the RL thats no easy feat, looking for wheels that fit and looked good on the RL was difficult. I came upon these wedssport sa55m and decided to give them a try and am satisfied with the outcome for now. specs 19x8.5 et 35, falken azenis pt722 245/40/19, H&R springs, monster lugnuts, no hubrings at the moment however no vibrations, wheel weigh in @ 21lbs each.

Not a bad look.

^ Thank you sir! Im looking for the sarona roof spoiler if anyone knows of one for sale before I pull the trigger on a new one..

ichi d

I'm feeling the look. Good job!!

ojmcduffie

Love the look. Clean simple ride...like mine!

253RL

Awesome thanks guys! Simply clean is what my aim is for! Don't get me wrong the aspec kit looks real good but for me the Legend is such a big car already adding it only adds bulky appearance. I am lOoking for a sarona roof spoiler if anyone knows of one being sold here On AZ..

neuronbob

Clean look to those new wheels.

253RL

^^Thank you sir! And also big thanks for all your modding and testing and everything you brought to the RL community! You definatley helped me with wheel specs and the exhaust portion as well as the intakes and pulley thoughts and ideas!

ojmcduffie

Good luck I've only seen 1 member with the sarona roof spoiler. I like it, but I rock non-spoiler. I agree with the A-spec kit, it adds bulk, but on the upside it adds more aggresiveness the Mugen bumper is probably the cleanest front bumper I've seen on an RL. Except for the fog light grills. Ugh.

Keep up the pics and progress please!

Liking the look

253RL

^^ thanks man really appreciate it!

How much did you pay for the wheels?

253RL

Best price I came across at the time from evasive was right around 2100 plus shipping, don't get the center caps because they don't fit the wheels. However the oem caps fit these wheels and I have since painted the center caps to match and reinstalled the A emblems so they look good I'll have to add pics to the album.

oo7spy

Please do!

And man, that is a pretty penny.

Any new pics bro?

253RL

253RL

ok guys I added the CF wrap on the Hood, and EZ lip front spoiler, however I have sinced removed the CF wrap, looked ok but i didnt love it, Also I started to strip my wheels, got two done to polish them, but have given up and will just buy some polished wheels and completley swtich up the look of my car again. sadly the wheels will be up for sale soon. stay tuned for something new!

ichi d

is that ez front lip made for the rl or is it custom?

oo7spy

Good choice on the hood.

253RL

Haha. I was mixed on the hood and really love the lsm color and I covered a lot of color with it, the ez lips are custom, comes about 7-8 ft and you contour to the car and cut off the rest.

253RL

Back in mostly stock form now, kinda diggin the oem slammed look..

any plans to do the sides/rears?

on 17" wheels, the body kit seems too heavy for the car....

253RL

I kinda see that now that you mention it, sides now no, rear possibly, will re evaluate sides if I do rear, I won't be on stocks for long, going
To a polisher tomorrow to see if he can finish what I started on the weds, if not I'll be powder coating, which brings me to the idea of a poll on color choices on them for lsm color, any 1 know how I can start a poll, choices would be volk gold volk bronze and volk mag blue, also a polished powder coat if available!

oo7spy

Start a new thread and before you hit submit there is an option to "Make this thread a poll".

Put an OEM wheel color option in there.


Oh, and every poll must have a "Whiskers" option or you get banned.

Wow, the oem wheels look super nice! You should do the rear lip too. I had front lip only as well and recently threw the rear on and it looks much better.

kcjohnnyboy

same color as my RL i just got. I'm debating on those H&R springs, looks like they sit the RL at a good level drop.

253RL

Nice I have a redondo red pearl now. Big plans for this one. Wish I would kept the pcd and j pipe and custom intake window visors and wheels. Couple pics of the RRP

oo7spy

What happened to the LSM?

253RL

I sold it and bought another s2000. Needed to get it all out of my.system. really regret that decision on selling the RL. But you live learn and live.

oo7spy

Well, on finding another. I got my for the crazy colors you'll come up with.

253RL

Haha thanks man.
