RJ legends vs aspec rims

Hey everyone, I just traded my TL in for an 2006 White RL and i'm loving it. Anyway, I want to hear your guys opinion on the RJ legends vs the acura aspec rims. So you guys who own these rims, how do you like them?

Also, if anyone is interested in selling their rims, let me know -- maybe we can make a deal..

thanks..

me personally feel that the A-spec rims are too small for a car this size. I say go 19 and up.

But if you do, you will lose the comfort.

The primary advantage to the Ronjons is light weight. They look great, too. The A-Specs are good, though heavy, daily driver wheels and look good to me, which is why I bought those. They've soldiered on through three Cleveland winters and accompanying potholes, with no problems.

thanks for the input guys. I was originally going to go with 18" legends, but I found a great deal on 19" legends..

then.. I thought I could get away with not dropping it. but after a few days I couldnt handle looking at the fender gap. so 2 days after that, I got some h&r springs and now it looks perfect

Can you get HR springs for the RL and just leave the stock struts??

BTW, yeah, pics? Although, I'm not a big fan of the Legends on an RL, it looks better on a TL, if at all...

HAWN- How does the ride difference feel to you from stock to HR??

Yes, absolutely. I think that is the major intent of the design, although I believe at least one owner has added H&R to A-Spec suspension.

Sweet.. Still going back and forth on HR vs. A-Spec.... but good to know, which would actually save me money, if going with HR cuz it'll be just the springs.

I bought them off a former member, and got a really good deal (less than half price).. but you can also get them from ronjonwheels.com

and these are the 19's..

I had my eyes on those, but it just wasn't the right time... I bet they'd look real classic on blk/blk .

They look really nice on white too

While I'm not too sold on Legends for the RL, which funny how RonJon calls these wheels Legends, anyway... Good that you went with 19's because when I see RL's with Legends 18's on here....
