I have a 2008 RL all stock including the standard 17" wheels. I love the wheels on the red A-Spec concept car that Acura showed us a few years ago. I've seen the A-Spec wheels that are common for this generation of RL, which are slightly different than those on the concept car. However, I found these, which appear to be Acura OEM wheels, but look much closer to the concept A-Spec wheels. I haven't seen these mentioned anywhere on AcuraZine so I'm not sure if they're legit.

I like the looks of these wheels and the price, but I'm concerned they may not fit or have some other issues since I've never seen them mentioned here. Will they fit my 2008 RL without any special spacers, etc.? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,
Brian

 

Here's a better link and a picture of the wheels I'm referring to:

mdx?

 

Mdx wheels for sure. You will need spacers for the fronts if you want them to clear the bbk.

 

But the look darn good IMHO!

 

These wheels are listed 18" x 8". Aren't the similar-looking MDX wheels 19"?

 

Get ALL the specs too, size, width, hub bore, stud hole size, big enough for 14mm studs the rl has, offsett, clear the caliper?, weight they just look like they wanna be heavy lol. The right bolt pattern 5x120, lastly I think, fitment Guarentee? Good luck!

 

Those Mdx style wheels only come in 19s. The 18s could be for the Rdx which it would not fit due to the 5x114 bolt size. The RL is 5x120.

 

It's the wrong part number. http://www.oemacuraparts.com/product...ja-203a-acura/

The image provided is definitely not RL Aspec too.

It's possible they just used the wrong picture, but there is more than one red flag here.

 

Darn I was hoping I'd get the green light on these. However, I think oo7spy is right - too many red flags. Thanks all for your input.

 

Those wheels are refurbished.

 

One of the problems with these vendors that sell refurbished wheels is that they don't know anything about firments. They just see an 18" OEM Acura wheel with a 5-120 bolt pattern and assume it will fit all 5-120 Acuras. They don't take into account the RL's front calipers and the amount of clearance they need. They're not trying to do anything sketchy. They just don't know any better.

 

But they aren't even 18" in the picture. The MDX are 19".

 

Those sites selling the remanufactured aspecs are all types of confused. One site lists there wheels as fitting the 2004 - 2009 RL. When i called to find out about the bolt pattern, they told me 5 X 115.

I called another and they said their pattern was 5 X 114.3 and it was GUARANTEED to fit my 2006 RL.

What a waste of time lol.
