Nice, and is that a Quartz interior I see? Good choice.

Really like the look of the stock rims when chromed. Did you have them professionally chromed or buy them somewhere?

Thanks

Sorry, the interior is Ebony (Black) as a lighter colour would have been too easy to stain, I do visit a lot of garages with my job.

The rims where purchased off Ebay from LA Wheel & Tire (Check their website @ www.lawheel.com).

They offer those wheel with or without the exchange of the original wheels.
The cost for the exchange is $499USD, chromed center caps are another $75 plus shipping. There is a core charge of $500 upfront which they are supposed to re-imbursed once they receive the original wheels and those are found in good condition (Not bent or broken).

Best regards

Thumbs up Good Looking Car

Good looking car. I wasn't patient enough to wait on the ABP.
Welcome to the "chromed stock rim club". I think they look the best of the stock rims.

What the hell? I thought ABP/Ebony wasn't possible? That's what I've been told countless times. Lucky...

Please note that I have the Canadian Version of the TL and they do have slightly different interior colour option available but do give up on XM Radio that is available in the US Models.

Thanks AcuraVic, yours do not look bad etheir.

I do agree that those stock rim in chrome look best for my personal taste and they are easy to clean and maintain as there are no cracks or small recess where the dirt can get into.

Too bad you could not get your choice of colour. For me I told the dealer that if they wanted to sell me a car, it would have to be in blue or nothing.

They started to make a fuss but called me the next day to tell me that they had one (they have severall Acura Delearships here in Quebec).

Best regards

Ahh, that's right, Canada gets some different color combos. I see, forgot about that. Anyway, nice car, really like the look of those rims.
