Are these the ones?

The RLX as it is looks great. Probably the only car i debate on trading my 07 TL Type S for maybe in a few years. Some tints and wheels would be just fine. I believe there's a female owner of an RLX that has it bagged already.

It's just bagged and it's at car show drop. She doesn't actually drive it like that. At work, her ride height is probably same as yours, which is the beauty of a bagged setup. Different looks in the same car.

The young'uns like that look. I'll let them have it because I'm olderish. OK, mid-life.

Yes!

Exactly the same as the Honda Legend Access optional wheels in JDM.

I could only get the chrome wheels to show when I looked.

This looks like the white RLX I told you all that I saw that looked like it had way too many people in the car. Not my style. To each his/her own.

I keep going back and looking at the Diamond-Cut Alloy Wheels.

Maybe... It's hard to justify just throwing $3,000.00 out the window.

I really like those too. I am really close to buying them.....If it's something you really like, i think you should get them! It is something you will be looking at, and using everyday!

I would like to see real pictures of them on the vehicle. Hard to tell for certain how good they look on the car with the 3D only pictures. And I'm not quite sold on them in the 3D view.

I was driving on I-30 in Rockwall yesterday being closely followed in the lane beside me by occupants in a 4G TL SH-AWD.

The driver sped up and got right beside me and honked the horn. The gentlemen in the passenger seat motioned to me a "thumbs up" with a look like he had never seen an RLX in person before, but I could tell he liked what he saw.

I like the RLX just like it is. I must admit that I am not a fan of the wheels on base package 2014 model, but I have the tech package with the larger 19' inch wheels and tires.

The car looks amazing to me!

The complements I get are from people that ride in mine. It's usually something like: "this is so quiet! I can't even hear the engine!". I reply: "that's because it isn't running". And then, that starts a whole discussion.

The thing that really surprises people: 0-60 in 5 seconds, in a 5500-lb luxury car. But, I've only done that for a few people.

Best Compliment Yet

Got 2 more recently:

The 1st happened while I got out of my car & car pulled up in front of me. The gentlemen said that I had a really nice car; he sees it everyday & knows that whoever owns it takes good care of it.

The 2nd compliment was probably the best yet: I noticed another RLX parked in my lot & by chance ran into the owner 1 day. He told me that he saw my car everyday & loved it so much that he went out and got 1 himself. I am surprised that my RLX inspired another sale ... who knew? Of course, this cuts down on my exclusivity, which is 1 of the main things I liked about the RLX, but oh well ...

Best compliment yet

I was crawling along in electric mode in my local Sam's Club parking lot today. When I parked a gentleman was looking my car over and started asking what it was. I gave the standard blurb about the Sport Hybrid, three electric engines, freaking fast, faster than it looks.

He was very much enamored by the way it looked. He was driving a recent Cadi ("work car") that he said was pretty fuel inefficient. I told him that my city economy was around 25 mpg and while less than Acura's stated city mileage, was still pretty good for a 4400 pound car.

He commented on how good the car looked and was properly wowed by the tech. Unfortunately, I had to tell him how hard they are to find right now, but if interested to look hard as they are out there.



People do like the RLX in the real world.
