Pretty cool. They look just like the 17" CL Type S wheel, but notice how much sidewall there is. No way that's a 17" wheel.

Ya know I thought it was at first, but there's no way that those are 17s with that much sidewall.

I think that is a 17" rim because the TL has such a ridiculously huge wheel well.

That's a pic of the TL-S with the new standard 17" wheels. The 2002 TL does come with new wheels too and I think they're 5 spoke but 16". I think I saw them in the video.

Yeah, they were in the video. They are similar to the TL-S rims, but not exactly the same style. That pic is from the TL-S....

I watched the video again and noticed that the spikes of the wheel on the regular TL is narrower. Somewhat like those on the Prelude.

TL-S has 215/50R/17 wheels.

Don't know about the 2002 base TL but I think it has the 205/60/16. Can anyone confirm?
