Looking for new rims...

Hey was up people? well my rims on my 2010 Acura RL are giving me problems. I wanted to see if there is anyone here who can photo shop my car with some good rims to buy. I like the sporty look/luxury look. I was trying to get them from the Acura dealer but they never responded to my email. Can any one here please help me out?

Wheels.

A Photoshop will turn out best if you can get a picture of your car straight on from the side. It is hard to make angles match and look right. If you don't have any ideas of what you like, then I don't think you will get much help either. Go through the threads in the wheels sub forum. There are plenty of actual pictures and lots of photoshops too.

Lots of good ideas in this thread:

Personally, I highly recommend TSW as a brand. Plenty of different styles to choose from, great build quality and decently lightweight at prices that won't break the bank.

Support the recommendation on TSW. Got a set of TSW Nurburgrings on my RL in the same 18x8 size as Acura Aspec rims. Really like them. Pretty light too and supposed to be stronger than cast rims cos they're rotary forged. I'd go with TSW's if I decide to get after market rims for my convertiblein future.

Pics of the Nurburgrings on your car, (start your own thread), or GTFO.

You are now the second member here that supposedly has Nurburgrings on their RL and we want pictures!!!!

Sorry OP. Back on topic now....

+1 on the TSW wheels -- pick your style and know that many of them fit right around the OEM BBK on the RL, even if they're not listed in their fitments on the RL at shops. Use TSW's site to check. Light wheels, too.

TSW's application guide is offline and not returning any time soon. They do not do anymore in-house test fitting. Just make sure you buy them from a local reputable dealer that is willing to do test fitting and return the wheels to TSW if they don't fit.

The tire shop where I purchased rims used epoxy on inner lip of center cap to keep them in place. The caps are OEM from a 2008 TL Type S.
