Finally have some pics to share. I don't have a digital camera so I borrowed my fiancee's and took these earlier today. I got the 2007 TL Type-S rims from a nice TL Type-S owner in KY.

ruffellprefley

they look nice indeed, but wedssport tc-005 ftw! (but i'm baised)

What size tire are you using and are you lowered?

Sclass88

WOW! They look better on the TSX than they do on the TL. Very nice!

Knox

Perfect for a white car. Not sure about on a dark car though. Your TSX looks perfect.

Mokos23

nice wheels

EuRTSX

Looks good, seems like all the TSX'ers are coming out for a change.

dom

Looks really good. But would a side pic have killed you?

kuri

^ A sign that winter's over

Thanks all! I was actuallly saving up for TC-005's but I found these for a good price so I couldn't resist.

I'm not lowered at all. It doesn't look like I'll be lowering it any time soon either since my wife-to-be doesn't want it lowered.

As for tires, I'm running 235/45R17s.

kuri

Stock height = 4x4 look from the side

I'll try to take one later.

Sclass88

Wait wait, are you selling the car on eBay or is this just coincidence?

Thats a different car. Kuri owns an 04/05 the one on ebay is an 06/07. You can tell by the front end. I guess somebody else has the same tastes as him.

I like it a lot... I agree with another poster --- I think it fits the white paint very well. I think it would look KILLER if you got the JDM black window trim. To me, the chrome seems slightly out of place now that you have the "darker" look going on...

SeanS627

totally agree with you.....................but i wonder why????

kuri

^ The TC-005's look good for sure. They were what first got me looking at the TL Type-S wheels after all.

A side view for dom:

kuri

Yeah, I know a few Acurazine members have these on their TSX's already.

Hmm... that's a good point. I'll make a note of that in my 'wishful mods' list.

ruffellprefley

still loving the dark wheels on the pwps though

a cheap alternative to the JDM black window trim (which is expensive, and you only get one shot at getting it right) is just using "trimbrite blackout tape"

there are many threads on the forum about the stuff. just search if you wish

I'm not fan of the style of those wheel set but still looks really good I'm Weds fan, tho

SeanS627

i'm the reverse............my wife saw the TL-S wheels and wanted them so i showed her the WEDS and she said sure those will look good

BU

Looking Good
dark gunmetal looks very good

S14 n Tsx

waTSX

Lookin' good

lilasiian8

That's exactly what I want for my PWP! I love it!

Can you please please post more pictures?

kuri

lilasiian8, here are 2 more pics. Vancouverites should recognize the place




JDM Password fog lights FTW!

lilasiian8

YAY! You're so nice.

I totally love your car!!

I really hated those wheels when I first saw them but growing used to them. Looks pretty good no your pwp, not bad at all

btoline

I wanted to put these wheels on my CGP TSX but when i spoke to my acura dealer, he said the TL Type-S wheels are a full inch wider then the TSX wheels so they would stick out. Are you having this problem of the wheels sticking out?

PittIsIt

i like them too

what are weds? they look the same as the tl wheels...no...

they cheaper?

i like the tl wheel look and thinking about them for my RBP when i need new tires next year. thoughts?

wickedk24

not bad........

TinkySD

I still think the a-spec wheels for the tl and tsx look the best....

kuri

The TL wheels are 17x8 +45 while the stock ones are 17x7 +55. So yes, they do stick out a little but not by much. They still line up fine with the fenders. I'll try to take some pics later.

The Weds TC-005 are awesome. See SeanS627's post earlier in the thread. They are lighter as well but they do cost a premium over the TL wheels. Quite a few members are running TC-005's.


Hehe, well as I said, they won't be for everyone. Hence we have such a large market for aftermarket and OEM optional wheels!

kuri

^ I should say that the TL wheels do stick out a little *compared to stock* but not by much.

btoline

^^if you could post some pictures of a side view to see how much they stick out, that would be great.

btoline

also, does the car drive any differently with the new wheels compared to the original ones on the car?

kuri

Okay, here are some pics showing the fitment:

Shot from the rear + shot of the rear wheel from top-down


Shot from the front + shot of the front wheel from top-down


See vilmar5's thread too as he's running 07 TL wheels. They're the same size as the Type-S rims: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38280

As for the ride, I can't really comment since I took the opportunity to get rid of the crappy stock Michelins. It has much more grip, and the ride is smoother (absorbs bumps better believe it or not), but the car seems to be more prone to tramlining. Though as I said, these changes are probably 99% caused by the tires themselves.

lilasiian8

that's PERFECT fitment. do you have a camber kit? or have you gotten your camber adjusted?

cestmoi

Nice! I don't recognize the place I've only moved out of Vancouver for over 7mths. Where is that?

PS: I'll be going back to Vancouver in end of June for my buddy's wedding. I've been asked to be the bestman.

Williebigz

I guess you could say that I'm a fan

ruffellprefley

they look good on cgp. a little more flashy than the wedsports i've got. shinier for sure

kuri

Williebigz, wow those look great on a CGP too!

lilasiian8, no I don't have a camber kit. I'm still running stock suspension but from my last alignment, right rear was 0.3 degrees off spec so I'll be bugging my dealer soon.

cestmoi, it's a little townhouse/apartment complex so unless you live there, you won't drive into that little area.
