Wow sounds like a sweet deal to me. Anybody got pics of how these would look on an 07 TL-S without a drop?

I would jump on these in a heartbeat if I had the money..

Rob I thought Acura/Honda wouldn't let dealerships sell these anymore? Someone told me that a Acura dealer sold a set on ebay last year and got in deep shit for doing so.

He was selling the 19" MDX rims, but these are the rare 18 x 8.5" TL A-Spec rims that were only available on the 2004 A-Spec TL's. From what I have seen, $1250 is a pretty good price since these are hard to find and brand new.

If I had the money and was looking into a new set of wheels, I would pick them up. Being in between jobs doesn't help very much

yea, good point. I did some searching as well, and the 1250 IS a reasonably good price. I saw them from 1199 to 1350.

Sorry I have been having problem with getting on the site and getting through my PM"s. The $550.00 shipped RDX wheels are a special promo price from American Honda, that is why they are so low these wheels are not discounted. We have not heard of any dealer having problems selling these but most dealers don't have/know about them. I still have several set left

These wheels are Acura 3G TL OEM (upgrade) Wheels.

They will fit EVERY 3G TL as is - plug & play for EVERY 3G TL; All of 'em, every trim level.



IF you have TPMS, you'll need to add sensors or swap the sensors from your stock wheels to these for the TPMS to funciton.

how are these wheels in the winter (snow/salt etc)...i know the chromed ones can peel and get ruined pretty quick with the salt on the roads in the winter...how does the Carbon Grey do?

i realize that i should have two sets of tires but i wanted to ask anywayz...

They should do great. You won`t have any problems with them peeling like the old chrome ones. Also every the new factory chrome is a paint and won`t peel like the old wheels will.

FYI these rims in the original production batch are rare, the gunmetal color is very unique and looks amazing on any TL. As well they are 8.5 inches wide vs. every other acura rim that has been only 8 inches wide for the TL. Most importantly, these were made in a limited run in 2004 for the 2004 TL when they first launched. Getting a set of these are very hard! Beware of imitation GUNMETAL ones that are sold in canada, but are only 8 inches wide.

Bump!
I ordered them and installed them from Rob about a month ago and love them! The carbon looks great with my Anthracite!! Rob was a great communicator and easy to deal with as well.

This really sucks. I have so much going on right now, not to mention new tires already. I've wanted these rims for a year now. They are the only factory 8.5" rim and they look amazing. I would only go with factory rims on my car and these look better than most aftermarket rims. I could finally mount some 265 NT05s on the car. If only it were a few months ago or a month from now. I hate being broke!

Exactly.

I'd (almost) kill for these. Wish I had the cash, I'd be all over 'em.
