So lately I have been thinking about what I should do next to my car. And I really think my current Enkei RS6's are going out of style, if they haven't already a couple years ago haha.

Basically I want something OEM from a newer Honda/Acura.

I don't want to have to do any major rolling or pulling of body work. I just want a nice and clean wheel set-up.

This is old news to my fellow 6GA Facebook friends haha.

Here is what I have now:

Here are a few ideas that I have Photoshopped.

The Typical OEM wheel of choice. 04-06 TL base wheels

TSX 1.0 Gen wheels

2nd Gen TL-S wheels

3rd Gen TL-S wheels

8.0 Gen SI wheels

8.5 Gen SI wheels

AP2 CR wheels

3.5 Gen TL base wheels

RSX-S wheels

3.5 Gen TL A-Spec wheels

02' NSX wheels

And my favorite....probably going to be my final decision.

8.0 Gen Accord Coupe V6 wheels

2G TL-S wheels are too thin at 6.5" wide, at least get the CL-S wheels which are 17x7.

But I agree that some 8/8.5 gen coupe or sedan wheels would be best. That, or some A-Specs, which I am partial to. lol

EDIT: Or HFP's would look awesome as well.

I'd space out the 2G TL-S wheels so that they are not as sunken.

And yeah, Brian (sydkck67) suggested the A-specs. Those are real nice.

HFP's aren't my taste for some reason.

Re: *Pic Heavy* New wheel set-up ideas

^It's more that when you look at the car from the front or back, the TL-S wheels look too narrow. The CL-S wheels are the same style and finish, they look nearly identical, they're just 1/2" wider. Plus they have a little depth to them whereas the TL-S wheels are flat faced.


EDIT:

Here are my old CL-S rims on Evan's (ejreams) sedan. Keep in mind his is not lowered. lol

Here they are when I had them (lowered 1.5"):

I like the tl-s rims and the rsx type s rims.
Your set up looks better with 5 spoke rims. imo

Those are very similar. Well then CL-S instead of 2G TL-S.

EDIT: I am assuming the offset is lower creating that concave look?

Yeah I agree. 5 Spoke wheels are always really clean. And they look awesome when you're driving slow haha,
