I love my RL, don't get me wrong, but 19's on an RL with a little strip of rubber stretched over the wheel is "fuggin ugly". It's like a 280ZX with 18" spinners, or a Chevy Cavalier with chrome Torq-Thrust and T/A's. It just isn't right. 17's and 18's are just right for the RL. Save the 20s for the guys that like driving down the road with three 20" spinners on their car and the "spare" as the fourth, because they hit a small pot-hole and trashed a rim, and can't afford a new one...now who looks "fuggin ugly".  Don't mind the sarcasm, but if you're gonna dump on someone, expect some dumpin' back.
BTW, sweet rims and clean ride. If you had to go with 19's I'd say you made a good choice. |
I'm not catching the Ferrari reference...I'm not catching the metaphoric comparisons either...
Can you elaborate on how an Acura RL on 19" wheels is equatable to a sports car with Spinners? I'm not making the connection and, for the life of me, i can't pin point what you mean.
the RL is a big car. as a big car you need either big tires or big wheels to sit the car right. if you go with small wheels and small tires, you'll look like a clown. so if you go with 18s get the tallest sidewall they make for passenger cars.
