2005 acura RL LSM, started stock ofcourse, then did the ZDX wheels for a while but needed to get away from the luxury look and back to the sporty look.. With the RL thats no easy feat, looking for wheels that fit and looked good on the RL was difficult. I came upon these wedssport sa55m and decided to give them a try and am satisfied with the outcome for now. specs 19x8.5 et 35, falken azenis pt722 245/40/19, H&R springs, monster lugnuts, no hubrings at the moment however no vibrations, wheel weigh in @ 21lbs each.

Awesome thanks guys! Simply clean is what my aim is for! Don't get me wrong the aspec kit looks real good but for me the Legend is such a big car already adding it only adds bulky appearance. I am lOoking for a sarona roof spoiler if anyone knows of one being sold here On AZ..

Good luck I've only seen 1 member with the sarona roof spoiler. I like it, but I rock non-spoiler. I agree with the A-spec kit, it adds bulk, but on the upside it adds more aggresiveness the Mugen bumper is probably the cleanest front bumper I've seen on an RL. Except for the fog light grills. Ugh.

Keep up the pics and progress please!

Best price I came across at the time from evasive was right around 2100 plus shipping, don't get the center caps because they don't fit the wheels. However the oem caps fit these wheels and I have since painted the center caps to match and reinstalled the A emblems so they look good I'll have to add pics to the album.

Haha. I was mixed on the hood and really love the lsm color and I covered a lot of color with it, the ez lips are custom, comes about 7-8 ft and you contour to the car and cut off the rest.

I kinda see that now that you mention it, sides now no, rear possibly, will re evaluate sides if I do rear, I won't be on stocks for long, going
To a polisher tomorrow to see if he can finish what I started on the weds, if not I'll be powder coating, which brings me to the idea of a poll on color choices on them for lsm color, any 1 know how I can start a poll, choices would be volk gold volk bronze and volk mag blue, also a polished powder coat if available!

Start a new thread and before you hit submit there is an option to "Make this thread a poll".

Put an OEM wheel color option in there.


Oh, and every poll must have a "Whiskers" option or you get banned.

Wow, the oem wheels look super nice! You should do the rear lip too. I had front lip only as well and recently threw the rear on and it looks much better.

same color as my RL i just got. I'm debating on those H&R springs, looks like they sit the RL at a good level drop.
