In my search for 19" wheels, I randomly came across a set of brand new OEM 19" RDX Accessory wheels. They are now discontinued, so dealers are selling the set new for under $600 shipped. At less than half of what I was going to spend going aftermarket, this has me more than curious.

The wheel comes in "Chrome Look" and "Sparkle Silver." In some pictures the Silver looks bland and in some the Chrome Look seems super shiny.

I saw a few other old posts about putting them on a TL, but I have only seen it done in one pic. I think I'm going to do it, but I can't decide between the colors. It's for an anthracite 5AT. What do you all think?

Silver


Chrome


Here I like the chrome, but when I see actual shots of them in the light, I don't like it as much...

Can somebody post a pic of a tl with those wheels on?

ollie526

This is the only one I've seen




They look great on a RL

I have never liked chrome rims on anything. They just look too bling for me. I like the silver ones. They look real close to aspec rims. Damn that rl is hot yo...

Def get silver, Chrome on AM is yucky, and that WDP with silver is looking good! GL

I took the lowest ebay buy now price of $500 shipped and went to my local Acura dealership and surprisingly he matched it. The invoice has a list price of $525/wheel, so I'd say I got a pretty sweet deal. Based on the feedback and the pictures I've seen, I went with sparkle silver. One sweet thing I noticed is that it came with 6 (odd) TMPS sensors. Since I have an 04 which to my knowledge doesn't use TMPS

**MOD EDIT** (If you want to sell something, post a thread in the Black Market)

Since I saved money on the wheels I decided to spend extra money on tires and got Toyo Proxes 4 245/35/19.

They are being installed Monday so I'll post pics soon after.

Wow you got yourself an exceptional deal. Those Toyo's FTW, cant wait to see pic. Cause i have an AM and just curious to see how it looks! Oh and those TPMS post them up in black market i am sure someone will take those! GL and i am awaiting pics.

That is awesome. Will these fit on an '05 TL without any modifications?

ollie526

As long as it is 5AT. I had the dealer mount them to check (granted without wheels). I will know for sure Monday when they mount them. I have heard they won't clear Brembos on the MT though. FYI several dealerships are still listing these on ebay for around 500

FYI they are 19" 45+ 8"

how much do these weigh?

Dino81

according to post #18, 25 lbs each...https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-tires-wheels-suspension-300/rdx-19-wheels-724194/

i think these would look awesome

i can't believe how good these look on the TL. looking forward to seeing your pics. what a steal too.

ollie526

Nice! Post your pics in this thread when you get them. I'll also note that my local dealer had a sign up selling them for $600, so this seems like a national thing. I got the last one at my place. Before everyone rushes to ebay, try your local shop and see if they have them and will match.

El Banilejo

Wow those wheels lookin nice on the tl, and for the that price I might just jump on a set, but want to see more pics from you guess who just purchased, they might need spacers though I think??

TiggaMan909

i had to pull the trigger on these... the price was just too good to pass up! $535 shipped to my door! i have an 06 NBP/aspec and I decided on the sparkle silver finish. Can't wait till they come! OP, please post the pics of these wheels mounted, dying to see them on your car!

They look really nice on the RL!

ollie526

My tires arrived today so I'm getting these mounted tomorrow. I'll be sure to post pics. I'm glad other members got to take advantage of this deal!

TiggaMan909

Tires are my next move... ollie536, did you get a good deal on the proxes? and if so, where from??

cant wait to see your pics man! also, are you dropped on anything?

ollie526

I got them at my local Town Fair Tire. They said they retail for $250, had them marked as $230 and gave them to me for $200. Once you figure in the new stems, balance, alignment and everything it was about $950. I wasn't thrilled about spending that much, but since we saved so much on the wheels, it made sense to spend extra money on the tires-since looks aside- that's what really matters.

I am on stock suspension, so I know I will get posts telling me to drop. I am on absolutely terrible new england roads so I cant go any lower. Too risky.

TiggaMan909

^^^, yeah i dont mind splurging a little on tires considering the wheel savings. I'm in the same boat as you man, no drop either. and i know exactly what you mean about new england roads. lived in boston for the past 27 years and only recently moved to dallas. only downside i have is i wont have an excuse anymore! looking to pick up the neuspeed super cup kit in the next few weeks.

SSMTL04

damn those look pretty sick on a TL!

Rafiton

I want the pictures

ollie526

I just got back from the shop. Unfortunately the only camera I have on me is my Blackberry. I'm going to give the car a good wash and take real pics tomorrow. I'm happy with how it looks.

TiggaMan909

oh hell yeah!! I've been waiting on these all day! they look dope man!! Definitely post more pics when you can! It would be nice to see some high res shots. close ups and far away. very curious to see how much of a wheel gap you have with the stock suspension. to be honest, it doesn't look that bad from these shots you posted, for some reason i was expecting a lot worse!

Now I cant wait till mine come in!

ollie526

Here's one more for you Tigga-also crappy but shows the side view a little better. I'll get the good pics up tomorrow night. I was afraid I wouldn't love the finish due to the name "sparkle" but it really looks good. Not nearly as flat as it looks in the stock photo.

Dino81

damn, looks sick!! I went with the chrome. I know its not the more popular of the two finishes, but I like it and I think it'll look good on my NBP. ill post pics when I get the wheels and get em' on.

TiggaMan909

waiting on them hi-res shots ollie! where you at man??

Wow, would have never expected these wheels to look hot on a TL.

ollie526

Sorry man. I had my camera with me yesterday morning and now it has gone missing. It's driving me crazy because I really want to post them. I'll borrow someones cam tomorrow if I have to.

As a side note, the car rides basically the same as with stock. The only thing I noticed is that it revs a little higher before changing gears-probably due to the increased weight. Mileage seems to be the same so far

TiggaMan909

i was looking into weights yesterday... stock wheels are 23-24lbs each and as someone stated above the rdx accessory wheels are 25 lbs each... not a HUGE difference so i cant imagine that impacting your revs.

I'll keep an eye out on my end, my wheel should be shipping out today.

chris288

Was it ever confirmed whether or not these would fit a 6spd ?

ollie526

I haven't tried, but I believe in past threads it was said that they wouldn't clear the brembos.



Tigga-Found my cam so pics will be up tonight or tomorrow

For the record, those RDX 19" Wheels are more than 25 lbs, more like 27-28 lbs. the key is to weigh the Stock wheels and the 19" RDX wheels on the same scale.

Those look great man!

I like the style of the regular 18" A-Specs better, but I'm jealous that you have 19's.

chris288

I bought the chrome ones for my 06 Tl 6spd, dealer guaranteed they would fit, said they did their research before posting them on e-bay. Guess well see if they do when I get them.

lunat1c

Any High-Res pics yet?

TL on "20"

please post a picture as soon as you put them, thinking of buying the crome but i want to know how they look in the TL first !!
