Affordable custom 2G RL wheel option

I am a newbie on this site but wanted to throw this out there for anyone looking for quality aftermarket wheels for the 2G Acura RL.


I'm pretty picky (also determined) and have been looking for quality wheels for literally years and keep coming up empty. With a BMW bolt pattern (5H x 120mm) and a Honda offset (+55mm) and smallish hub bore (64.1mm) the options are fairly limited unless you spend big money ($1000+ per wheel) or you compromise somewhere along the line.


I stumbled on this site www.velocitymotoring.com while looking one day, and like Emeril says.. BAM! This company makes VMR wheels and although they focus on European makes like BMW, Audi, Mercedes and VW they are willing to take on a challenge.


I had them order up a set of blank wheels (mine are the V-810's which are flow formed/rotary forged like the Enkei MAT process) and custom drill the center bore and bolt pattern to fit my RL. Furthermore their people are top notch and know their stuff. I worked with Mitch and we figured out the best possible wheel diameter, width and offset to fit the car.


The result? A beautiful set of 18x8.5" wheels that only weigh 20.3 lbs each Oh BTW, they were only $1200 for the whole set of 4 including shipping!


I will post some new pics once we complete the other mods.
