18's with 235 / 40's on a '01 TL??

Ok, I thought I had my deal pegged with the 17" Acura wheels but I just found these with tires.

THink they would look good?

Think they would fit?

Don't like the design. The curved spokes makes them look like 16"
What's the other choice?

They look smaller than 18's and the gap between the fender and the tire makes the rim look even smaller. Try the 19' HPF's by Honda if you want to go with OEM wheels. If you want to know if they fit try searching in the "tires, wheels, and suspension" forum.

Idk which acura 17's you wanted but if you broaden your acura choices, you may get more lucky. Acura rims i've seen on 2nd gens that looked good were 1st gen TSX rims, 3gen 17s, 8th gen accord rims.

The others I'm considering are the 17" 9 spoke TSX rims from about '06-'08. There is a thread I started today with a picture.

those wheels pictured are hideous.

TSX ones for sure.

i would pick the 17" TL-S wheels over TSX though.

Ok, I'm glad to know that I was not the only one. A few others told me they would look great but they seemed VERY aftermarket to me and more like they should be on a Hummer with every imaginable chrome applique.

I too prefer the 17" TLS rims but these CLS rims are brand new and available for $300 for the entire set with center caps.

Does that seem like a good deal? What have the TLS & CLS rims been going for?

HA!

Sorry, no.

Perhaps on a newer car with more dramatic, sportier lines. The 2nd Gen TL is too bland and family like for 20"s.

My mind conjures images of "donk's." $5k chevys rolling around on $5k wheels with a step ladder to get in & out.
