Finally got the Wheels, Tires, and a little Zaino on the car. The Wheels are Enkei 18", (Enkei makes wheels for Acura), Tires are Falken FK451 245/40-18. I went with the Falkens instead of the Yokos because they were a little quiter. Need a couple more coats of Zaino, but too many playoff games right now.

Great looking wheels. How do you find the ride/handling? Any vibes?

Rbraud

Only drove from Dealers to home, 25 miles. Corners much better. May be a little firmer but very acceptable. These tires are just a little taller and fills wheel wells a little better. Speedometer will be a little off. Speedo says 65 actual 66.

Not bad, where did you get the wood grain ?

Rbraud

The wood grain was Dealer Installed. Everything matches the factory stuff.

Rbraud,

Your rims look great! I have a few questions if you don't mind:

1. Any reason you went with Falken FK451's over the ST115's? I bought a set of the OEM Acura 18" rims from eBay and am strongly considering the ST115's rather than the Acura-recommended Yoko ES100's.

2. Any problems going with a 245 tire size rather than 235? A tire size of 235/40/18 is recommended for the 18" Acura rims, but I was thinking of going with a 245 size instead to provide more rim protection.

Thanks!

I like the extra wood grain that was installed

I went with the Falkens for two reasons. The Dealer had already installed the tires and I like the way they looked. The other reason was just a gut feeling. The only down side to the bigger tire is the speedometer is off a little. When it reads 65 your really going 66. Not enough for me to worry about and the Dealer is looking to see if the speedometer can be adjusted.

Are they 18x8 and if they are do you hear any rubbing in the front when you turn. Looks GOOD

I want to get those wheels for my 2000, I heard they might rub a little as the offset isn' t that high. Anyway car looks sick.

Hey Craig -

This post is from back in January when the gallery was still up. I brought it back to life because I'm considering the LM's and am hoping to get some pics.
