I believe the stock rims are 6.5in wide so i dont think those would fit your stock rubber. but i could be wrong.

I tend to want to know what I am putting on my car before I buy it. What brand are they? How is the quality? I think you tend to get what you pay for. But I hope you find a good deal.

just spend 5 bucks and wrap your current wheels in aluminum foil, cause those looks worse

Wrong bolt pattern, 5x115 is NOT the same as 5x114.3. Besides...they're not that great looking. Get some stockers, at least off of a V6 Accord, or something.

Don't you dare put those things on your car. Your stock ones look better. Keep looking.

The way I see it, stock wheels are better than small or ugly wheels. With undersized or ugly custom wheels, its apparent that you tried, and failed. With stock wheels, its obvious you aren't trying for that, hence no fail.

i see your point but disagree. not everyone wants to throw 18", 19" wheels on their car. in my opinion while the bigger wheels DO LOOK BETTER, they ride like shi....


i had 2 different sets of 18's on my tl and hate the ride, I really dont see how anyone living on the east coast can stand to drive over messed up city streets on big wheels.

cant imagine how harsh the ride is wit 18's and a drop!!!

now if you live on the west coast I could totally inderstand.

now to answer the thread starters original question, the wheels are ok,you can do better if price is not issue. Also, those rims may not fit with that bolt pattern. You need 5*114.3 bolt pattern. Finally , dont forget when buying aftermarket rims you might need hubcentric rings to make the wheel fit around the hub perfectly. Acura tl hub size is 64.15 or 64.10


good luck bro.
