What's the offset and rim width ?

The tires seem to tuck inside the fender nicely with no chance of nasty rubbing.

They are +40 and 8.5 wide.

Love the wheels - I can't wait for spring to put mine back on.

I'll take more pictures this weekend. The ride is pretty decent with the Continental DW summer tires. First I was going to get black wheels but since Ron Jon was having a clearance on these, decided to get them instead. I love the lips on the wheels. I've got several compliments in 2 days since I put them on.

that kit doesnt line up right. it would look good if it did or it was a one piece bumper solution but it just doesnt look good because of the lines not matching up.

I personally think RJ wheels look pretty good (the newer designs). It's just a matter of preference. It's like me and chrome wheels...hate them but tons of people love em.

Whats the reason you hate RJ wheels? Or you just hate it cause you hate it and have no reason?

What are you talking about? How does the kit not line up right?


Your car looks good man. RJ wheels are good wheels I like how people always bash on them that never owned RJ's before. They're made to Acura OEM specs so that you don't need to change this and that on your car just to get a set of wheels on(of course unless you're gonna slam your car/go for a crazy offset). Enjoy your ride and your RJ's

It really doesn't bother me if someone likes the look of my car or not. I am just happy the way it looks and I get compliments all the time.

If it makes you feel any better, I share your the same opinion as you. Like you have said, it is a person preference and for me, I just like the look of a simpler wheel design. On my 2012 TL, I have the 5 spoke (18 inches) and stayed away from the larger wheel just because of the busier design.

I have seen Ron's work in numerous tread and I know he does AMAZING WORK, is very dedicated to the Acura owners here and I applaud and commend his dedication to Acura folks who enjoy modding their cars. While I respect and appreciate his work, I am not a fan of the actual design itself but doesn't mean that its it not a great wheel nor would I expect other people to agree with me either....Heck, most people probably can't see why my g/f sees in me either *lol*

My first choice was the graphite color wheel. But since Ron gave me a heck of a deal on the silver finish, I could not pass it up. Money saved went towards the XLR8 catback exahust.

It looks the best from the front or the back when you see nothing but the lip on the wheels.

Car looks sweet. Love the wheels and stance. Now all you need to do is get the beak painted white to match the car and that will be the cherry on top.

I thought about it, but afraid the paint will eventually chip and peel.

I see this one has tuner lugs and I assume an accompanied socket:



But the OP's setup doesn't stick out...how the hell do you unscrew the lugs? Special socket? (just curious) Looks very tight and bound for scratches...

The tuner lugs are an option, OP didn't opt for it. I also have them.

The lug nuts I got were recommended by Ron.
