20's look horrible to me on a TL

19's are good as long as you can sit the car on them nicely..

18's are the way to go to stay away from fitment issues and looking retarded

egh?

any size you go up is just going to raise your car. i guess type S wheels and a lip kit would be good if you just WONT drop your car.

but going up in rim sizes is just dumb if your not gonna drop the car and accent the wheels

20's if you want it to look like a Gremlin

18's or 19's ONLY if you drop it. Our cars sit way to high from the factory as it is..

The thing that kills me about 20's is looking behind them at those dinky rotors...

^^ laate lol... jk

idk.. his stance is good.. and he pulls the wheel width off well.. but you can just look at the car and TELL they are out of place... i guess you have to previously be a fan of 20"s and larger wheels to begin to like them.

im not against 20"s.. just not on acura TL's...

I think 20" wheels look stupid on a TL or anything with a 25 to 26" tall tire. I would suggest a properly fitted, lightweight 18" x 7.5" wheel with a nice 235-40-18 summer tire.
