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.

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...

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 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?

for EVER more!

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?

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.

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, 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.
