I really like the mugen RL wheels.

Aluminum Wheel NR is what i am looking at.
Anyone here know if there is a good U.S. website that sells these wheels.

I am assuming they will clear the bbk on the rl without spacers since these wheels are made for the mugen version RL. If otherwise, please let me know

Not that impressed that they are only 18x8 and not at least 18x8.5, but i like the stock look it gives off.

You can order them through King Motorsports. I predict horror when you find out what they cost.

I like them too buy I need at least 19in and cheaper! Check out Ace Alloy Convex or Executive (kinda similar to Mugen) and Savini B3. I like the rims that are similar to the Work Schwertz SC1 or the AME tracers haha. Both of those rims, you can get the tires too for about 2500! (My local guy says)

The work SC1 in 19' inch wheels and tires will cost more than $2500 plus at least a 4 month wait.

Please set up a web cam for said horror.

when i said 2500...i was referring to the rims that were similar to ame and work =)

Thank you, I checked them out already, they don't have the 5x120 lug pattern.
The 18x8 in 5x114.3 goes for $2500 for a set

I have a feeling that they don't make it in 5x120

I noticed you're from Boston and if you must get the wheels, you can always have JT motoring help you out with the 5x114.3 to 5x120 lug pattern. They are very knowledgable and can make any wheels fit. Just say James with the black acura rl sent you there! They offer very competitive prices and I plan on having them install teins, kits and black out my headlights in the spring!

DiabloSVRacer

Very appreciated that you looking out for fellow bostonians. Everyone over there is fam and i got my teins, kit, and custom headlights from them. Ask brian (350z) to do your headlights, since he has exp on doing my headlights.
I see a black rl with just tints (as far as i know) on water st. in quincy a lot, is that you by any chance? lol pm me maybe we can get a boston meet sometime.

Sniffles

Nice! Are you eddys' brother? I think I was there and they told me that eddy's brother had the rl with the headlight. I already talked to brian and I'll prob do everything in march! I been on water street to visit prospec but not too much...I am def down for a meet haha

DiabloSVRacer

Yes that is me! haha my name is kevin. lol
Just went like two weeks ago to get new tires for the aspec wheels. haven't done much in a long time.

if you could get AME tracers with tires for $2500 in 19" sign me up!

I would also like a webcam feed for said horror...

Sniffles

Maybe I worded it wrong but AME and Work won't come out to 2500 with tires =(

DiabloSVRacer

i thought AME wheels were not available in the US

AME FS-01 were my first choice but were discontinued.

the AME FS-01 / "tracer" wheel that Touge had on his RL were just awesome. they looked so good on the RL. too bad they were so $$ and you can't get htem anymore...

there are still some nice wheels out there. to be honest..I always felt hte OEM aspecs looked nice... RonJon Rev wheels look good too. I saw a new pic on his site of a black 2G RL with the revs and it looked very nice. the car was at stock ride height..but if the guy lowered it .. it would have looked even sweeter...

DiabloSVRacer

I would love to have a set of AME FS-01. Perfect for me!
I would be looking at wheels with lips and staggered setups if we have awd systems like the bmw's.

Sniffles

Mike and the owner from JT said I could get staggered setup without messing up our AWD. As long as we get the right rubber setup. True??

K.M. can special order a set of 5x120 directly from Mugen Japan. But expect a 3-4 months wait. I know the Japan Mugen website have 5x120 only in 18s......

I used to have a set of NR on my TL very clean and subtle and classy.

DiabloSVRacer

Yes that is true. as long as the tires have same tread pattern and size you are pretty much good. they are the wheel whores. mike will be able to tell you what wheels will make your car pop. they are the experts not me. i personally like to shop around get peoples ideas and photoshop wheels with my car to get a feeling especially since the color of my car is so unique. almost anything goes with black. wheels that look good on the black rl can look horrible in my lakeshore.

DiabloSVRacer

they look so clean, classy, and not crazy flashy, i think i want to get them in polished silver. how much did you end up paying for your set of 4 and then the 5th one? i saw that you were asking for 3k im assuming atleast 4k?

I got a package deal at my friend's shop for $4000. Tein SS with EDFC, Mugen NR with tires.

I brought a 5th wheel because I scratch one of the rear wheel. I'm pretty anal about my Mugen than my other wheels. So I brought a spare one. I sold the wheel and tires for about $3000 after my lease on my TL was up.

DiabloSVRacer

thats a crazy ass deal, very nice pick up and you def got some good money back from those wheels. thank you very much for sharing how much you paid
