Sorry I haven't been around much ... Work & family medical situations have severely hampered my ''play'' time. I have been occasionally following some threads and wanted to share info regarding wheels I've recently purchased.

After searching long & hard (almost opting for the Mugen wheels), I pulled the trigger on some TSW Nogaro wheels ... Here is a quick photo:



I have a gallery of several images ... CLICK HERE

For info from the TSW website, CLICK HERE

Here are a few more details regarding my selection:
Wheel: TSW Nogaro
Finish: Hyper Silver
Size: 18x8 (other sizes available)
Bolt Pattern: 5x120
Offset: +40
Lip: 1.94''

Tires: Toyo Proxy T1R
Size: 245/45R/18Z

Dealer: Town Fair Tire
Price: $1498.00
Includes: Wheels; tires; 4 Acura TPMS; mount/balance;
4 wheel alignment; road hazard guarantee

There doesn't seem to be many wheels we can select from ... Unless you go custom. I thought the overall price was very reasonable ... And I got a ''lip'' that I wanted. They are not very fancy ... But have a luxury/sport flair that makes my RL just a little different than a stock vehicle.

BTW- I did paint the mounting pad/hub area on the brake rotor with a high temp black. This wheel has a small mounting pad and it cleaned up the overall look.

Hope all is well with the situations that you have been facing. Car looks nice with those wheels. Nice conservative sporty look.

FYI: I notice in your pics that there is what looks like exhaust desposits on your exhaust tip and rear bumper cutout. There is a thread that addresses this and apparently the fix is new exhaust tips. You may want to take a look through the thread or mention to your dealer.

 

Nice rim/tire package. You are right about limited choices for the RL. BTW, I did the same thing with my calipers. I also selected the Toyo Proxy T1R's. I think alot of people are "sleeping"on these Toyo's, they are a complete high performance tire. Great work.

 

looks good. The new TSW Vortex should also fit perfectly.

 

Do you have the ASpec suspension? Your rear looks a bit lower than the front.

For 18's, they *look* larger. Nice!

 

I'm seriously considering these in 19" and chrome finish . . .

 

Thanx for the nice complimentz ... I'm glad we finally have a few more wheel optionz.

Treblig: I appreciate the info regarding the exhaust tipz ... I'll check it out.

Magomboman: What tire pressure are you running? I'm still trying to find the optimal settingz.

bkw: Yes, I do have the A-Spec suspension. BTW- The car was on a hill (parked uphill & leaning slightly to the left), so I rotated the images a tad before posting.

ASP: Go for those 19" ... Not bad at all considering the price.

Once I can find a tire at "the right" price, I will.

Discounttiredirect.com sells the 19" Chromes for $388 a piece, no tax, free shipping.

 

Hey Guys

I have the same wheels as 427, See his post and link above. 18inch TSW Nogaro in chrome. Gave the car to the wife and she wants a couch more than these wheels. Go Figure.
I paid 2300 for them with Hankooks(road haz warranty) in NJ (have receipt). Package has about 1k miles on them. Car looks mean with em.

I live in NY and work in NJ. Anyone interested please made resonable offers. They are as new, waxed atleast 3 times already.
