My new wheels (thanks to RonJon!)...

The weather around here wasn't very good today but I was able to snap some quick shots. I hope it clears up within the next week so I can clean her up really well and take some better shots of the outside and my customize interior! Let me know what you think.

Thanks again to Ron at RonJon! They are definitely some hot wheels!


Eric

How does it ride? Any vibration issues? I know they are hub centric, but I was just curious. Looks Great!!

What tire size did you go with?

What kind of drop are you on? It looks real nice.

If the Servos were available in 19s, it'd be hot to own. But the Inspyre looks very good.

contact ron at ronjonwheels.com. Just email him and let him know you are interested! He can get you prices and everything. He is a great guy and will be able to help you out. My opinion is that the Inspyres look incredible and if you went with 19s, i couldnt imagine how great they would look. I think Ron actually has Inspyre 19s on his CL. There are pictures of it on the website.

Ok, so it's been a while now since you got em. Have you got up to consistent highway speed yet? Does it vibrate at all?

Well I have only been up and above 70 once for maybe 5 minutes. A lot of my daily driving is on city roads (35-45 mph). I still haven't felt any vibration at all. I am driving about 60 miles on the freeway tomorrow so I will post my results after that!

hence our purpose for making a centerbore exactly to Acura's specs of 64.1mm instead of a universal 70+ mm. no Hubrings and 100+mph smooth as glass, even on 19" and 225/35/19 tires.

Latest reviews of RonJon Wheels

I'm thinking about purchasing a set of Ron Jon wheels. What's the latest reviews? Has anyone had any issues with bending or chipping?

Ron is a cool cat. I spoke to him several times, I have yet to order my wheels. I will definetly go with the inspyre's in 19's. I think those are the hottest set in there line up, I'm coming from RI and gonna make a stop in yonkers. I just have to set up an appointment with him first.

I just got my RONJONs on my 03 tls (after looking at your pics and talking to Ron - great guy).

I went with the 18 chrome Inspyres with 235/40/18 Pirelli PzeroNero M&S due to treadwear rating of 400 and also ratings on tirerack and my local dealer comments on how they react in the rain. I drive 100 miles one-way 3 days a week to work on the PA Turnpike, so this car is driven...(35,000 miles per year)

The ride is fine, which is another reason I went with 18 instead of 19 - I was worried if I went to the 19s that the ride would be too hard. No change in speedometer either since the 235 40 tire diameter is the almost the same as the 215 50 stock tire (proven on PA turnpike Radar signs). Car looks great with em. My car is NOT dropped. I am running 30 pounds of air in them. I noticed that the car seems to wander a little more than it used to but it could be my imagination and I did just have it aligned.

Other than that, I could not be happier with the wheels and tire combo...pics to follow when it stops raining !!!
