RDX 19" ACCESSORY WHEEL on 5AT TL
#641
^ Yes, they will fit our TLs, that is this thread its all about. Take a look at all of the photos and comments. Acura will discontinue this wheel model, that is the main reason for the cheap price.

just added 20mm spacers in the back and moved the 15mm to front. makes a huge difference IMO.

What % tint do you have?
Also, I see everyone talking about dropping it? How difficult (I guess expensive, is the more appropriate word for me) is that to do? I'll admit I'm a big time newbie when it comes to cars. Is that A-Spec suspension I see everyone talking about for the sake of a drop?

I'm really considering these wheels now. I just bought an Anthracite 06 TL this weekend and I'm loving your look.

I personally like the "it came from the factory like that" look, so I wouldn't go more them 1-1.5 inch drop. But thats just me, some guys love to slam their rides! Check out some of the other threads in this forum, tons and tons of information on various suspension setups!

Romanian, actually. When you had them installed, what was the torquing value ? Did you have them re-torqued the second day? After that, how often did you check them ? Were they the "bolt-on" type or did you use your own original bolts (slip-on) ?
What brand is better ? Ichiba or H&R ?

huh I am serbian that's why I asked, and Bogdan is a very common serbian name.
I got spacers with built in studs so no I didn't use mine and I think they are about the same (H&R and Ichiba), same quality.
And I don't know if the torque values I just made sure they are tight. And then after a few weeks I checked if they were still tight and they were so I figured it was all good. I check them once a month from now on and they were always good.

I'm in the process of possibly purchasing some 18" Aspecs. If the deal doesn't go through, I'm going to order these and the spacers.
Then I'll at least have until Spring to save for tires w/out the wife noticing.

I just checked ebay, and im still finding deals for under $600 for a full set.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA...Q5fAccessories
your probably looking at ~700 for a decent set of tires.

Not saying they dont exist or anything. I looked for aftermarket lugs for mine a while back, and couldnt find annodized or extended lugs in ball seat. throw a link up if you know of any.

How do you "roll" the fenders ? They're metal, do you bend them ? Do you trim them off ? With what ?

Agreed! I've Never heard of such a fitment working on our cars.. they have to be some pretty MEATY tires!
Even without a drop, the 45 sidewall will cause rubbing, not to mention your speedometer will be off a bit.
If i were you i'd go with a 35 series (recommended) or 40 series (max) sidewall.. you wont have to roll fenders, your speedo will be fine, and i think the overall appearance will look much nicer!
Dying to see pics though! Good luck!
