Post Looking to buy rims and tires?? Any suggestions recommendations, websites??

I am debating on 17s or 18s. Dont know yet. Looking for some pics to get an idea. I think I want chrome because I have racing rims. Any suggestions, recommendations or websites with some decent wheel and tire packages.

Have a look at tirerack.com. They have good information, selection and the prices are reasonable.

I assume you've also looked at Snook's wheels here on acura-tl.com?

Try wheelsone.com. Good wheel prices that include shipping. They can also mount/balance any tire you want - just ask.

Call Snook up! He only posted pics of some wheels that people may want. He sells a lot more stuff and his price is great!

You can check out the rims Snook carries HERE. Even if you don't find it there, he can get almost any rims that you want though. So, just give him an e-mail at info@autocarparts.com.

I dont understand how the pricing works?

the 5zigen heidfeld says $825.00. Is that for one rim or four??

The Dazz Matiz with Toyo is $3135, This is for four right? Can't be for just one???

The site needs to be more clear on the description of the wheel quantities and the prices. The pic's are great but if they dont tell you exactly what your getting for the money listed, it is hard to buy them!!!

Ask Tim. And the $825 is for the set of 4, not each..it's the one piece version, a lot cheaper than the 3 piece version

Why is the 18" ITC Wheels cheaper than the 17" ITC Wheels?

Cool

I am also looking for some classy chrome wheels for my 97 TL. I was thinking about the Niche BAHN, but they're way to much money! Is there any other wheels of comparable looks that are less expensive, a lot less expensive.
I looked at the rims that SNOOK carries, and they are all to race like. Does he post chrome wheels at a different site? Alos, does anyone know the bolt pattern for the 97 TL? I'm not currently anywhere near my car to look at the manual, so I need help, PLEASE!

I think the 18's are $3195 not $2195. People do make mistakes you know.

And if you want to see what the DAZZ look like on a TL go to the TL Gallery and check out my pics. Also, Tann is our "unoffical" photoshop 'administrator'! if you want to see what other wheels look like on the TL!b
