Acura TL 17" Stock Wheels on the CL - Problems?

I bought stock 2004 17" wheels off the TL with stock bridgestone tires all mounted and balanced from an Acura Dealer last year. I went t oget my tires rotated and rebalanced only to find that the tires are basically worn and I've only got about 15k on them. Has anyone had similar problems with this tire and wheel combo? I mean these tires are like $200 a pop do they really wear that quickly?

Do a search. May want to post in the Wheels section.

But I do remember a couple CL's with 2004 TL wheels. I think the offset and width are different and you may have some rubbing if you lower your car too much. I was looking at getting those too, but I went with the TSX wheels instead. Those are the exact same offset and width as the CLs wheels.

I have them on a CL and the offset is slightly off which makes them stick out a tiny bit. But it still looks awesome. I jus't get how the tires wore so unevenly and was curious if anyone else had something similar...?

I had them on my car for a while before i lowered it and had no problems at all.... are the tires worn evenly across the tread or is it just in one section?

Did you buy the tires and wheels new or used? If they're used you've got more than 15k's on those tires and also check the tread wear rating on that type of tire. Oh by the way how's your driving habit ? A leadfoot can quickly wear them out

Cracked Rims

I have had the same flat tire about 5 times in 3 months. They finally found out that I have a cracked rim.

Does anyone know where I can buy a stock rim for a 2001 3.2 CL type S?

any help is highly appreciated

Thank you

My Bridgestones wear incredibly fast.
