Those are nice looking wheels, it will look very nice on your RL. What name brand ad specs.....

BDoggPrelude

TSW Jerez, 20x9 +35.

Carbon Legend

Very nice!!!

tc5280

Very nice. Can you get any deals on factory wheels? I really want the mdx advance

Those are nice and clean. Is there going to be any issues being 9" wide?

BDoggPrelude

Not really. I get a small discount from dealerships when I order through work but it's typically the same as what you pay when you order through a wholesale vendor online. The MDX wheels don't fit without spacers and they're really heavy BTW.
I don't think so. Same offset and keeping the same tire size. We'll find out though. I was going to mount them on Saturday but there's snow in the forecast for Tuesday so I'm going to hold off for now.

good choice of wheels. i cant wait to see them on your car.

great look, my first thought was "that will be a bitch to clean"

NWAcuraFan

Those are going to look fabulous. I would have bought Jerez (in an 18) but I was told that they would not clear. Please post pics so we can all enjoy.

BDoggPrelude

I don't see why they wouldn't. I asked TSW and they said the Jerez has more caliper clearance than the Londrinas and the Londrinas clear the front brakes by a lot. I have not test fitted yet so we will see. Like I said before, with snow moving into Denver over the next couple days, I'm not putting new wheels with stainless steel lips and summer performance tires on my car.

coopcoop30

Ok if you're not going to put them on give us a test fit at least. We are not asking for too much are we?

CanadianRL

awesome rims!

Italiano

Sick..............

BDoggPrelude

Test fitted today. Please excuse the dirty car. Hopefully installing next week when the snow is gone and the streets are cleaned up a little more.

Carbon Legend

that is a damn clean looking wheel. i know what you mean im waiting til the end of the month for my wheels. let the salt get washed away and some pothole patching take place

coopcoop30

BDossprelude - I was two seconds away from ordering the black Jerez in a 19" - I like the way they look. Very clean

So what happen?

and op i thought those wheels were suppose to be concave?

BDoggPrelude

Only the 10/10.5" wide ones are.

coopcoop30

I'm stuck between these and the TSW Mallory 5. I can't make my mind up.

oo7spy

BOOOOO! That sucks.

BDoggPrelude

I knew they weren't before I ordered them. I had TSW send me pictures of the 9" wide wheels beforehand. It's pretty hard to find concave wheels with FWDish offsets that clear our front brakes.

ichi d

i'd go with the mallory 5. even tho both wheels are nice.

Italiano

Those will look classy and clean...

BDoggPrelude

The weather is not cooperating.

coopcoop30

We are waiting patiently.......

sonny@tirerack

Sharp!

oo7spy

I tell you what. I'll come to Denver, trade cars with you, bring yours here to the 90 degree weather, mount the wheels for you, and send you pics until the snow clears.

I promise not to run any red lights.

Lol. Sounds like a plan to me.

BDoggPrelude

Fancy little video while we wait to see if Colorado is ready for it to be Spring time already.


BTW, both the Jerez and Mirabeau have forged barrels.

Cool video.

oo7spy

<- It's getting stale...

BDoggPrelude

Lol. It is literally snowing right now.



A few years ago I put a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's on my Prelude in late April and it snowed the following week. If you've never driven Michelin PS2's in 3" of snow on a car with a race ready suspension before you should try it sometime.

BDoggPrelude

May 1st and it's still fucking snowing.

oo7spy

That shit is coming this way. It's going to be 40 on Friday.

BDoggPrelude

Quick iPhone pic for now. Gotta get back to work.

BDoggPrelude

Okay. One more picture for now. My roof spoiler is coming in on Monday. Once I get it painted and installed I'll clean everything up, wash, claybar, wax and do a proper photo shoot. The wheels look amazing in person. Pictures really don't do them justice. I haven't weighed them with the tires yet but, considering the forged barrels, I'm going to guess they are quite a bit lighter than the Londrinas.

oo7spy

I can dig them.
