Best looking stock ACURA wheel?

Whats the best looking stock ACURA wheel?

I haven't decided about the new 2005 TL wheel yet.....hmmm...sort of a variation of the 04 wheel.

The Aspec upgrade on the 3rd gen look pretty good.

I like the 2nd gen type s wheel the best for stock TL wheels.

My favorate overall would probably be the new RL wheels but they sure are expensive.

I know there are several HOT aftermarket wheels, I'm just looking for your opinion on stock Acura wheels

I have had a lot of compliments from non-Acura owners on my 2003 TL Type-S stock wheels...

CJ has some pinpin' wheels. I gotta say CL-S chromies look the best.

I agree. Silverstars are HOT. Very hard to find used though, and when you do, you'll pay big $$$

Lawaia! Good lookin out, appreciate the comments.

MikeekiM - It cost me $650 to have mine chromed. Actually, I did chrome exchange where they sent a set of wheels chromed to Discount Tire. Then, they called me, went down there and they took off my stocks non-chrome wheels and mounted my tires to the new chrome and then sent my non-chrome wheels back to the chrome vendor. This way, I am never without wheels. It's a great program. There are plenty of places that do this. www.4chromewheels.com and www.capitalwheel.com just for starters. My chrome has been on for almost 2 years now. No chipping, no dulling and they bling like a mutha!! I got them off right now because it's winter. The sand they use on the roads here during the winter tears up the wheels, especially the rear wheels.

yeah..I didn't like my A-spec rims at first b/e i prefferred the Type S ones...but now i actually like them because they are unique and they look pretty good even when my car is just rolling....

maybe its just because our A-specs has the nice OEM kit and A-spec spolier to go with the rims...anyways...i love my rims too

the new RL wheels dont fit a TL, they are a weird size i think, but the 2001 cl-s wheels rock, 1/2 inch wider than the tl-s

It is an old thread, but while I'm here I'll represent for the Silver Stars, they are incredibly nice for factory wheels
