Where can I find rims??

I've gotta get some new rims on my RL but have had very little luck finding any - of course I know that this car doesn't have a huge amount of opportunities, but I've def seen some nice rims, such as AmBiGuOuS626's RL.

Where do you reccomend I go to find some nice 18" rims for my 05 RL??

thanks!

This is from an old thread:
Off the top of my head

Ace Strada 19 and maybe other styles
5zigen SC3000
Certain ASA wheels
BBS RE (ouch $800+ per)
Acura A-Spec (18's)
Look at Touge's AME Tracer wheel
Enkei has some that fit, notably SC-05 and the racing wheels used on the Spoon RL NT03+, maybe the RP03 and FN-18
RonJon of course!


Original wheel is
17x8
+55 mm offset
64.1 mm hub
Enough clearance for the big front brake calipers.

A-Spec wheel is 18x8, but otherwise the same

You need the following characteristics in a new wheel:

5x120 bolt circle,
hub centric fit required, usually some kind of centering ring,
Acura TPMS compatible (Figure about $40 per wheel from an internet parts dealer)
Probably need new lug nuts, as the OEM flat lugs may not fit, but they usually come with new wheels
Call manufacturer to verify wheels will clear the big brake calipers. If they don't know about the issue, beware.

Here are some starters, in no particular order. Research was done some time ago, so no idea if the links are still valid.

and of course search the threads in the Photo gallery for more samples.
