Opinions on Following Rims...?

Alright so I need to replace one of my rims. So I decided to go ahead and change all 4. I think I am going to stick with 17 inch rims. Any opinions on that decision.

My car is an 05 redondo Red Pearl....
Here is some of my choices on the Rims. Feel free to post a link to a different rim, because I am open to suggestions.

Oh yeah don't worry I took off the Car Bra...




Heres the Rims...Can you guys tell me if they fit the 05 Acura TL?
Im sorry I know nothing...



















Will they fit? Which one would look better?
Thanks for reading the thread. I really do need opinions...

cheap wheels on a TL well,,,, makes it look cheap.18 or up,17" is kind of small ,keep in mind that some rims witha lip will actually look smaller than your stock wheels with no lip.

The first two with the bronze color would look pretty cool and unique. But I agree with TLModa that 17s with lips are goin to look more like 16s


Try some 18s?

Dayum...those are some big houses lol

If you're rollin' that deep i'd get some Volks or DPE's =)

For 18's, look into the G-games 77 Wolf...you may like those, and they're affordable wheels made by Rays Engineering. I wouldn't put any of those wheels you listed on a TL, but thats just me

I think the 2nd set (bronze mesh) would look really good with a nice drop.

You must live and work in the suburbs. I live and work in the city and do a lot of parallel parking. I am putting a beating on the stock rims. I would buy new rims in a heart beat if I didn't.

Keep those stock chromes on until you go 18 or 19 (preferably 19). More 17's are a waste of money and time. As for your current selection - none of those! They look cheap!

I am laughing really hard looking back at this thread. I find it funny that I considered buying any of those rims. The more you look around AZine the more you understand what will look good and what will look bad on your car.

Sorry for wasting your time! haha.

Nothing yet...
I just replaced the wheel I needed, Which is pretty much the stock rim but the chrome version.

I guess I'm still looking for a good looking rim (and the money to buy one)

Hello,


I know it has been a long time since this post however I was hoping you could tell me the manufacture of the second rim you have a pic of. I have an all black version of these on my Talon but cannot seem to find them anywhere else.


Thanks
