Default Need Wheel Opinion

OK, I am torn. I used to drive an Acura Legend and sold it prior to purchasing my GS430. I had a set of rims that I sold that for some strange reason have come back into my possession. I am trying to think, should I put them on my car? What do you guys think? I am thinking of getting rid of the stock 16's, using the 18's year-round on some 245/40/18's and in the summer doing a staggered setup of 20's. If anyone can do a photoshop for me with a drop and the rims it would be great. Pics have been added. Seize?




Damn I miss that Legend too...

Oh no, The 18's I am referring to are the ones on the Legend! LOL.. The G35 actually has 19's on them and that's my mother-in-law's car..

you can use them but if memory serves me right the legend requires high offset which on our car will look like they are sunk in. You can get the g35 18's for a cheap price like around 200-500 and throw them on your car. I am actually going to be using them for winter wheels.

Guess it lived up to its name, and is now a legend. I so wanted one for years but they are hard to find in good shape anymore.

Not to hijack thread....forgive me

Oh, gotcha. The G35 19s actually will fit. It's the wheels I want now (forged, made by Rays, sounds good to me!) .

and yes, I think the Legend lived up to its name too.

Those wheels look great!
Hey, I just sold my Legend GS in August and bought a GS400. I miss the Legend too. It was and (is) a great ride. Post some pics when you change wheels.

The guy I sold them to called me about a month ago and didn't like the way they looked on his car. I had an Integra in between the Legend and the GS and since the bolt pattern is the same for the Legend and GS, I bought them back for a little less than what I sold them for. Lucky me...

If I would have known that the patterns of the Legends & GS's were the same, I would have bought wheels a long time ago!
