I'm sitting here comparing the rims in the brochure's I have.
I'm not to sure about the 2002 look.
They look cheapie compared to the 2001.
Anyone seen them up close?

 

I think the wheel looks like the one on the Accord V6 EX.

 

yep...i agree

I like them. I don't like the stock rims on my '99 TL. I mean they are ok, but I would not have chosen them given the option.

 

I don;t like my '99 stock ones, but the 02 stock ones are butt ugly. They look VERY cheap. DOesn't suit the car at all.

 

I know that the Type-S rim is going to be the same as CL-S. But what about TL's rim, lots of u alreay seen it i know. I can't get my hands on the brochure, I live in Canada. So, would some one plz plz post regular 02 TL pix with the rims plz plz??

 

I agree, the TL's rims look low end to me, just a cheap 5 star rim. Check out this post and look for the pic of the gold TL, thats a base model, not the Type-S, and you can see its rims. http://www.acura-tl.com/ubb/Forum14/HTML/000245.html

Why? Acura Why?
Why those rims!!!

 

On the subject of rims, I'd like to put 18" on my TL-S when I get it. Tire Rack told me 225 width was "too aggressive and will require bodywork." Can anyone confirm or deny this? And also, if you have aftermarket rims, can you please tell me what size and with what tires? Thanks.

 

If you can find an 18x7 rim with an offset similar or close to stock - ie. somewhere around 50-55mm, you should be able to use a 225 width tire with no problem. Having said that, keep in mind that not all 225/45 tires are created equal across the brands - the tread width may vary.

For example, the 225/50R16 rear tire on the S2000 is as wide as most 245 or 255/45R17 tires in both tire and tread width.
