I put on the TL rims cuz I did not like how our TSX 7 spoke wheels have 55mm offset. It makes the wheels look too pushed in, or skinny. TL rims give 1 extra inch in width, improves handling and looks better with lower offset temporarily. The TL rims are going to come out and new 18s are going on my car tomorrow if not friday 
I believe JTso also have the TL rims as temporary replacement until he gets his 18s.

For instance, a guy at my local Acura dealer has about 5 complete sets of TL wheels/tires left over from upgrading a few TLs to A-spec and he is selling them for $800 per set. This isn't really cheap, but I'm sure the price is negotiable and it is still cheaper than buying brand new OEM TL rims.

Cobalt, enjoy the TL rims and dont go doing 100mph through the mountain twisties, LOL, that drive we took tonight was just amazing! Gonna see if I can get either the Injen CAI or Comptech rear sway bar in before the meet next week.

TSX rims' values
I realize the dealer will charge much more for the TL rims than ebay but how much are the factory tsx rims on the car worth. It's not like you have to just buy TL rims you're also trading in the brand new tsx rims/wheels for them. If you go the ebay route than you end up with two sets of rims and you have to try and unload the tsx ones which I'd rather not be bothered with.
Thanks,
Cru

ALright, I'll keep you updated, probably gonna wait until next saturday that's when I'll have my car all waxed up. So far I'm very happy with how the 18s look on my car. I only wish these rims come in 8" width with 45mm offset or 7.5" with 40mm offset, then they'd look even better

Are these dealerships screwing people out of their stock rims? If you buy the A-Spec wheels or the package through the dealership, you should retain the stock wheel/tire, even if it's only so you can sell it. I can't imagine the dealership giving credit for it.

Nah. They always offer to give the rims/tires back to the owners. THe sets they have are from owners who don't want them sitting around their garage and don't want the hassle of selling them, etc.

Check my ride and you'll understand why you put TL rims on a TSX. It's because the stock rims are butttttt-ugly man. And the fittament is perfect for ride height etc..... If you rock out with 235/40/18 it's as close to stock as you can get. I think it's 0.2" lower than stock, so it's better handling/looks without compromise. Cost $895/RIM in Canada, but that didnt include the 450/tire for low pro Pirelli's. WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!!!!
