ATTN Closer!!!

What size are those wheels you have in your pics on your home page?? http://ypadmin.infospace.com/hatt/car/default.asp

They look like 18" Italia S5's, but they might be 17". I like them a lot and may be considering a set.

Yep, Closer's wheels are the AT Italia S5, 18"

Check out the wheels/Tires forum

http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...threadid=15225

Closer put what he has on there..

But I have a question for you...

Those Italias are 5 spoke silver wheels that look very similar to the stock TLS ones.. if you already have a nice 5 spoke wheel, why would you want another one that simply is 1" bigger? Yes, probably lighter too but the 17" TLS wheels are good already don't you think??

Maybe if you geared it towards more of a constructive critisism then you would get a more pleasant response. I think thats how the working world works anyways. Just making a point.

and your response was very constructive wasn't it?
maybe you should just keep ur mouth shut instead of making urself look like an idiot..
but you're too sensative, you're not a women are you?
you worry about yourself, and I'll worry about myself..
I didn't come to flame, but to increase my knowledge of the TL-S, because I'm really interested in purchasing one...
but if buying one is gonna turn me into a little punk like, you maybe i should reconsider..
get a life bro..

lol.. talk about oversensitive. apperantly you dont have the ability to read between the lines. It was a point I was making that comments like "those rims are supa ugly" doesnt do anything good (especially if noone asked in the first place). At least Edub-TL made sense. Also, if you trully believe that "buying one is gonna turn you into a little punk like myself" then please save us the trouble and get something else. Frankly I wouldnt want to be affiliated by you in any which way or form if it's going to turn ugly. I agree that this forum should be a place to learn about our cars in greater detail, I personally have alot to thank for this site, why dont we end this right now and leave all the negative connotations behind us.

Ah! I'm glad that logic and diplomacy rules again. As for CLoser's rims...I personally like them. If I had the dough, I'd get closer's 18x7.5 rims with yokohama AVS 235/40/18 which would match the stock tires the best. Reason why I would want stock looking rims is that I want a more sleeper look, rather than a rice look. No badges, no stickers, no wings, nothing, and look as close to bone stock as possible. (except the body kit and when you take off the line!)

Yeah I got the last piece. THe dealer even forgot the take all 4 of them back, and it wasnt until i threatened to sell them on ebay did they ask for them. as for the rims....i only wish (no dough). To prevent myslef from going overboard, i made a simple rule to myslef.

I cant add mods that throws away perfectly good stock parts. so im basically limited to the neuspeed strut bar and better tires when they wear out. oh and brake pads, air filter, lights...yata yata. so i guess no headers for me (unless my stock ones break!) hmmmm.....
