Hi, I was wondering if the 09 rl oem rims would fit on my 07 rl. I just purchase my Rl and love it, but I think the factory 07 rims are a little plain. Also, if it does fit can I just switch the tpms to the 09 rims? Thanks alot guys.

 

yes, direct fit.

 

post up some pics if and when u do it.

 

They will fit, but you will need new lug nuts and locks (if you have any) because the seats are different. Not using the correct lug nut seats is dangerous, but you should still be able to use the old lug nuts for the spare, and of course, the old 17's are great for winter tires.

2005-2008 (not including PAX)



2009+ (and 2006-2008 PAX only)

 

chas2, thanks for the heads-up. (so i'll need to order the 2009+ lugs/locks) i'm also debating the 2010 rims on my 08 rl.

 

2010 rims should be identical to 2009, but 2011's are quite different...of course they are not yet for sale as far as I have seen. The 14x1.5 spherical (ball) seat lugs 14x1.5 are also used on the MDX, the 4G TL and presumably (I have not confirmed) the ZDX, however I am going to bet that they are all the same price. When I was de-PAXing, I looked across other Acura models to see if there were any price differences, but there were none that I could find. At the lug level, these parts are like commodities across the entire line. Also beware that 1G/2G TSX and 1G RDX use smaller 12x1.5 lug nuts, like most Hondas.

If you are concerned about price, an idea to research is whether later model Hondas (such as Odyssey) have ball seat 14x1.5 lugs and locks, and whether these lugs look any different and whether they are any cheaper. Let us know.
