Winter Wheels & Tires

Thinking about pulling the trigger on these. ~$2050 shipped with lug nuts

I have those wheels with 265/35/18 DWS06+. Great combination with an OEM style wheel. Very happy with them in western PA as a winter tire option.

If you're going to push the offset out 15mm, do it on a summer set instead of a winter one.

Keep the winter road grime and salt away from the side of the car as much as you can.

I read through one of the threads someone posted about using oem wheels. It sort of went nowhere, anyone have an insight on an 18" OEM wheel? Depending on the design, doesn't have to be Acura. I'm looking to color change them anyway. Thanks again

Check my post on the first page and there's a link regarding the use of 2009 Acura TL wheels.

I read both of those. The op never showed pics of the wheels on the car with tire. I'm also checking out marketplace and they're not too common by me

I'm running this for the winter, bolted right up (with provided centering ring), no problems in snow and ice so far, commuting 90 miles round trip per day.

Went with a second set of OEM wheels (copper set) with the Michelin Alpin winter tires.

Subaru camaflouge mode engaged!

This blue looks great in that lighting! I like the color combos here.

Nice wheels!

An interesting tidbit I picked up today - the new Prelude uses the CTR suspension and brakes, which I would assume means that it uses the CTR bolt pattern.

I looked it up and the wheels for the Prelude are a 19x8.5, factory wrapped in 235/40R19. That's actually a good bit taller of a tire than our OE 265/30R19.

If these wheels could be ordered, they may make a decent winter wheel option. I would prefer 18's and a touch narrower.

Just a thought.

Picked up a set of RL wheels for real cheap. Going to see how they look on the car. Going to refinish them a semi-gloss black

Let us know how they fit. Brake caliper clearance is usually the biggest issue. If they just baaaaarely clear or baaaaarely touch, you can get very thin spacers from a company called Caold Technology out of Oz. Takes a while to ship around the world though.

The brake fitment is my biggest concern. I will definitely post my results. A friend of mine suggested BMW wheels. All of the decent ones are staggered. I thought about reverse staggering them. Limited to what I can find decent out by me
