New Owner, Newest Acura I have ever owned
Just bought a dark blue(don't know what the actual color is)2005 TL. It is the newest Acura I have ever owned. I had a '93 Legend Coupe with the 6 speed/type 2 motor. Unfortunetly it was totaled and I currently own a '91 NSX.

I joined in hopes of learning a lot about these cars.

That's a nice line up of cars. The NSX is awesome and I loved those Legends. You will like the TL.

Congrats.

I've seen those wheels before...were they upgrades for the RL or something?!?!? I'm pretty sure they are oem wheels for honda/acura

Great set of clean cars. I think the wheels would actually look good if the car were lowered...but, seeing you have a relatively unmodified 20 year old NSX, am I safe to assume that that ain't happenin?

Well I have only had the NSX for about a year and a half. No time to mod. Plus I think I am too picky for my own good sometimes. As for the TL just plan on Tinting the windows and wheels. If they had a set of Lowering suspension that retained the original ride comfort I would possibly consider it.

I am being told by people on NSXPrime that they are rare wheels from Acura. Have to research this.

While they aren't the prettiest wheels Acura ever offered, they are pretty rare. I think I've seen less than 5 members on Acurazine with those wheels and that's about it.
