SWWEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!! I love the rims Tim. Worth the wait? j/k about your wife man lol, chicks are always like that about car mods... always afraid a tint or a spoiler will make it lose its classiness (where classy = stock)

Do you still have the Mugen's on your ride? The height looks perfect to me...

Damn SP9000's must be nice... Yesterday I push my car 40-45 mph though a 20 mph 90 dogleg, and I broke my tires loose for only the second time since I've had them on. Understeer like crazy....

Soooo... Tim, do you sell Suspension Tech, rear sways?

Man those wheels are so clean. Take good care of em.

congrats bud! they look awesome. Your car will get a lot more stares and looks, esp from the honeys. So...was it worth the wait?

Hey Tim, you should have dyno'd the car before and after the rims to see if they larger rims and wider tires make any performance difference.

Agreed!

Well C2's are 21 lbs each, which is really pretty good for an 18" wheel. 5ZR's are 20 lbs.

Pretty nice Tim!
Satisfaction finally came!
Do you feel any performance difference?
Any rubbing? Probably not, cuz you got +50 offset!
Very cool!

Tim,

Take a side-view pic so we can see what the offset looks like.

Great rims, Tim. They look better on TL than in my other 99 Prelude.

snook789

Thanks guys. They fit perfect. No rubbing,(18 x 8 50 offset) and I don't notice any change in power. (rims are only 22lbs)
The dunlops are great and they stick to the road very nice. They are pretty quite to, I can hear them just alittle more then the stock tires

Man , those wheels look perfect on the white TL. And only 22 lbs? Did they include a tool for the center cap? The hidden lugs are cool.

So did your stock lugs work?

Hey Tim, Where's the lower airdam up front? Nice pics..although they(wheels<--For F=MA's reference) look small on the car, once again, because of the tight spokes, which will give them that "smaller" look...nice tho...personally i wouldn't put a polished or chrome rim on a light colored car...especially if there isn't much chrome around the car to blend with it..

18's do look small on a TL.....

Guest

TL Daddy

No they don't! 16's look small on a TL

Red Hot TL

the stock wheels look okay since the tires aren't high profile. the ones on the Taurusa are 16s with high profile, and that's as ugly as hell! Is there really a huge difference between Japanese cars and American cars???

Hmm, do I recall telling you to get these wheels in 19's and you said naw, 18's are fine???????

snook789

If I only listen to you and AcuraTL from the begining....

StreetEffectz

So Tim, me and you will just trade up to 19's next time around! I think they look sweet, not small at all.

VICNYC_TL

Tim, wheels look great, congrads, and the 18's do not look small at all.
