Rim Ideas

Hey guys, seen some of the cars out there so I know you all have good taste. I'm planing on getting some new rims for my 03'nbp TL-S. Any Ideas on what would look good?

wheels all depend on how much u wanna spend.

If you dont wanna spend alot or if u get them for hella cheap at the moment like me go with reps or cheap brands like Adrs...

if you wanna go legit and cash out more go with better brands like Works, BBS etc....

Even though I have Adrs right now, I rather just save up and go with legit brands in the first place.

obligatory, lower your car before you buy rims post.

agreed.

but rim choices are like anything in life. do your research, find something that you like, then do more research.
Remember, a smart buyer is an educated buyer.

you will have to upload the picture(s) to a photo sharing site, like photobucket.

once youve done that, right click the image and copy image link.
then paste the link into the thread.

RonJon wheels are built specifically for Acura vehicles. We have a few different styles and finishes, what are your limits, 18", 19", 20"? Dark or light colors, 5 spoke, etc?

I suggest the new Legend GR in 19":

@ KobeAllDay, that is unfortunate, it came like this when i got the car. @ rondog, I was thinking about 18' or 19', Five spoke, Black and chrome, or black and machined. I'll post photos of some i had in mind for the future in a sec.

I have a set of Servo wheels at the powdercoater, we were gonna do them Satin Black with a machined rimline for tire / wheel sepraration, that would be 18" x 7.5" with a 50mm offset, perfect fit, hubcentric and clears BBK and fenders with a drop.

Maybe that would be of interest?
