Well to do what i said will cost 400cnd $,to buy new rims 1000+ and don't forget tires
for the stock rims i got Falken(215 55 16, don't know exactly wich ones)for 500 cnd!
plus, i'm dropping it so i think it'll look cool.

i also have a TL and i don't want to spend the money to do the wheels. because i don't
like the stock rims. i bought a set of TSX wheels which is a perfect match offset and
it's 17" for less than 400.00 and put it on my 2003 TL. i love it.

they look good!. i think with the same money or a bit more, your better off with a new set of wheels. IMO.

What color is your car? Chrome might not look good with all colors.

if you want better grab of the road. and more comfort of the ride.

buy the 17" TSX. some of them go for pretty cheap.

depend how much you want to spend.

IMO the stock 17" TSX wheels are .5 wider than even the TLS. and the
Rims are just out dated.

i went with the TSX is because i am like you, good looking rims.. WAY too much

and at the same time, the rims gets all the beating of the road and some might
bent. IMO.

:shit: :shit: :shit: :shit: :shit:

i just ut it on and right now working to fix that 4X4 look.

IMO, the tsx wheels looks good on the 2nd gen. TL or TLS. only difference is that

you will run into the problems with the 4X4 look.

getting new spring to fix the problems.

i will update it on my pictures in about a week.

well if you want chrome wheels i can sell you mine!

they are the factory optional Acura chrome wheels. 16 x 6.5" your actual tires will fit perfectly on them. plus i have 3 Bridgestone Potenza RE950 225/55-16 that i'll give you with the wheels. 2 of them are still pretty good.. the other one is kinda worn out.

hit me up if you're interested! 400$ (CAN of course)

The optional factory 16incn multispoke wheel is what I have on my 2000TL.
When that chrome wheel is polished with Zaino it looks good.
I have had mine 4years now I got them about 5 months after I purchased my TL 12/28/99.
I have only seen about 3 cars other than mine with them I saw a Black TL with them like mine also a Silver TL a Dark Green & a Firepepper Red TL. On darker colors they look alot better.
