Forged alloy construction +48mm offset; 64.1mm center bore built for Honda/Acura; VIA 660KG (1455 lbs) load rating. Curb rash as noted. See photos of the worst. Note that Wheel1 has very tiny nicks in it that I could not post due to 9 photo limitation. I can post those nicks in a PM or a reply if asked.
Each wheel with Mounted with 255/40-19 Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position Tires Ultra High Performance All Season Tires and Acura TPMS with approximately 7/32 to 8/32 tread left by my coin measurements (4/16” = 8/32”) See photos.
BBS forged (not cast) wheels are designed for use in high offset Honda applications with +48mm offset to compensate for the 8.5” width. BBS purpose designed this wheel to replace Honda/Acura 17x8 +55mm offset wheel. This is the closest possible offset match to OEM specs I found in the market at the time. +48mm compensates for the extra 0.5” wheel width. Result is less stress on the wheel bearing while still clearing the suspension and the RL big brake caliper.*
BBS has manufactured the wheel with 64.1mm center bore, no centering ring needed for this true hub-centric wheel. Standard Honda flat seat with washer lugs can be used. No need for custom lugs.
See the BBS website and select 2005-2012 Acura RL, which is the application for these wheels.
*This wheel has been engineered to fit the very large 4 piston brake calipers of the 2005-12 Acura RL/Honda Legend. These calipers are the reason other Acura wheels, notably the TL wheels, have clearance problems on the 2G RL.
Since these wheels will clear the 2G RL big brake calipers, they will also fit on other 5x120 Honda/Acura applications using 5x120 wheels: 2009-2014 (4G) Acura TL, 2005+ Acura (2G & 3G) RL and RLX, 2007-2013 (2G) Acura MDX (2014 MDX uses 5X114), Acura ZDX, 2005+ Honda Odyssey, 2006+Honda Ridgeline, and 2009+ Honda Pilot. I do not know what the wheel load ratings on those other vehicles are, so you will have to check. BBS wheels are marked VIA 660KG, so make sure your vehicle OEM wheels are equal to or less than this rating. You are also advised to check on the width and offset requirements for these vehicles.
Thanks for the reply. How old are the wheels and did you buy them new? Same with the tires, how old are then and did you buy them new? How many miles on the tires?
I had a hard drive failure awhile ago, and lost a lot of photos of the car...this is the only one I could find, not great, I know...I will continue to look, but it is not looking good...
Found another one, still not great shots...
