Time to change my wheels

Ok so some of u know that i have been interested in getting rims from the next gen tl cause mine are looking bad, so can someone please post a picture of 1st gen TL with 2nd generation rims from any year between 99-03? and what about putting acura CSX rims on our first gen ?? also i need to know if the ride would be just as smooth if i put any of the following on:

CSX rims link

2n gen type S link
http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ140688910

will the type S of 2nd gen fit no problem?

and 2nd gen regular rims

CSX look the best. Wouldn't even bother spending money on the others since I don't think they're any improvement over stock.

I wish I had 5 lugs.

OP I guess you have a silver car. grey CSX wheels will look best with a 35% tint all around. Deal is not bad I think.

But would the CSX wheels fit ? for sure?

Because he has a big-4 bolt pattern and wheels are hard to come by.

I would not go with the standard 2G wheels at all because IMHO they are disgusting.

I wish I had 5 lug because then I would have 2G Type-S wheels on my car instead of having to search and search and search for nice wheels. I have tried so hard to find wheels and when I found a set I bought them and then sold them. I am very picky when it comes to find wheels. That is why I am still searching.

The CSX wheels would fit and honestly I think they look like the RonJon Servo wheels, which I like.

Either CSX or 2nd gen Type-S wheels.

The CSX wheels looks kinda like the HFP wheels on the new Civics.

i was thinking about getting the Honda Fit HFP 16". They look nice and sporty..I just wonder how it would feel though...I prefer comfort and luxury over performance.

They won't fit.

The Honda FIT bolt pattern is 4x100 and our bolt pattern is 4x114.3.

It is very, very hard to find wheels for our cars. It is so bad that all my friends tell me that my car won't be nice until I get wheels.

your friend does speak the truth in a way. LOL but my stock spokes don't look too shabby for a luxury car.

But anyway...good luck AATSK. The CSX looks sweet on a 1st Gen TL.

Yea I know. I was thinking of getting my CL wheels but the bolt patterns aren't the same for all the wheels. There is one set of 16" CL wheels that fit but I don't like them anymore. So I'm back into the lab to think of a new idea for my wheel issue.
