Honda Accord 19" on the TLX?
im about buy 19" Honda Accord factory wheels. I have 2 questions, first is would they fit? Second, how would they look? I can't find a pic of the flx on factory 19" accord rims.. I'm thinking I'd bet better ride quality than aftermarket 19" rims.. what do y'all think?

1. I don't know, check the specs.
2. It's up to you, your money and your personal preference. There are quality aftermarket wheels out there, but if you want to stick with OEMs then more power to you.
If you're talking about the Accord Sport wheels, good choice, they're a good looking wheel.

Accord:
19x8.0 +55 , 5x114.3 , 64.1mm center bore
TLX (depending on trim):
17x7.5 +50 , 5x114.3 , 64.1mm center bore
18x7.5 +50 , 5x114.3 , 64.1mm center bore
19x8.0 +50 , 5x114.3 , 64.1mm center bore
If the Accord looks good with them, then I'd imagine the TLX will look good.1) No TLX owner has them yet
2) No TLX owner that has them has posted pics
3) Try searching for TLX and not FLX
Why do you think 19" Accord wheels will ride better than aftermarket 19" wheels? They're both 19". I could maybe see it giving a better ride if the aftermarket 19" wheel was significantly heavier. But all things being equal, a 19" Honda Accord wheel will ride the same as an aftermarket 19" wheel.

Will the TPMS be compatible?
I know 2013 and up Accord uses a TPMS in the suspension.
I don't know if TLX uses the same. I think TLX still has sensors mounted in the wheels themselves.
I would like to know if anyone can clarify. The 2016 Accord sport has sexy wheels!

Yes, it does. All cars starting in, I think, 2008 need to have TPMS. It's a federal requirement.
What MonsterZero was asking is if the sensors on the TLX are indirect like on the Accord. They are not. TLX sensors are direct.

Tire Tech Information - Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (Direct vs. Indirect)
DIRECT VS. INDIRECT
Direct Systems attach a pressure sensor/transmitter to the vehicle's wheels. An in-vehicle receiver warns the driver if the pressure in any tire falls below a predetermined level. Direct systems are typically more accurate and reliable and most are able to indicate which tire is under-inflated.
Indirect Systems use the vehicle's anti-lock braking system's wheel speed sensors to compare the rotational speed of one tire versus the others. If a tire is low on pressure, it will roll at a different number of revolutions per mile than the other three and alert the vehicle's on-board computer. Indirect systems (except for the TPMS on several 2009+ Audi models and 2010+ Volkswagen models) are unable to generate accurate readings in cases where all four tires are losing pressure at the same rate, such as the effects of time and temperature.

I'm also planning to purchase 9.5G Sport/Touring wheels for my V6 FWD. Tight looking setup for OEM.

I literally was just talking to my brother about these wheels, I think it looks really really good, how did you get the sensors installed and to work? And if you have more pics please.

I ended up getting the EX-L last night. I tried out the Touring but HATED the 19" wheels - loud as hell and unforgiving. I was going to not buy the car all together until I took the EX-L out and it was really pleasant. I was very tempted to get the Audi but I was too much of a sissy to risk getting a car with a lot of maintenance. They may not be bad any more but I know people who have just 4 year old Audi's and they bitch about the repairs/maintenance a lot. Maybe in another several years Acura will have a car I crave (Nice looking, latest tech, hybrid with decent acceleration 0-60 in 7 seconds or less, and great gas mileage) but until Lexus or Acura releases something that really shivers me timbers I'll keep the Honda for now. I prefer the seats in my old Acura but other than that it is a very nice car.
