Looks good, although I liked the Enkei's better (even though they were black). The gunmetal really looks good with NBP. The tires look a little skinny, though...definitely need some 245's or some 235's that are wider.

The official WHEEL WHORE of 2009!! Looks like you are trying to steal the title from ib1ci from 2008.
AHAHAH WTF Brian? I'd understand if you were doin this in the summer, but how are you doing this now? Rollin with summer tires in the winter?? I know you were talking gunmetal A-Specs from the beginning and I said go for it. But you went from those monster sets to this? I think both of the last 2 sets you did before this were better. Because I have the same A-Specs on my car I feel like YAWN about these wheels. They look great of course (otherwise I wouldn't have em!) but I'd say throw some Blizaaks on them and keep them as your winter set. Keep the Enkeis for the summer!!!

Partly. Some 235's are wider than than others, so one type of 235's could look fat while another looks skinny. In my opinion, most 235's look skinny since they are primarily for 8" wheels; only the wider ones look good. 245's are for 8.5" wheels.

lolol i am, i admit, and i am dumb rofl
Yeah I know what everyone means when they say they like the enkei's better.. and the only reason why I agree with them is my car looks very OEM now. poo. I like skinny tires 
Yeah RJs are sitting in my apt up at school rofl but they are spoken for. The tires are 235/40/18... dunno, I like skinny tires though and yes they are 8.5 aspecs
Sweet! OEM style ftw lol
lmao work winter wheels
Yeah out of all I loved the sevas the most. but the weight isn't justifiable... I have all season michelins on the aspecs now so I'm safe
LOL
haha they are spoken for.

a lil off topic but you graduate Cornell this year right?
I still like the A-specs and with your drop they look legit; the rpf1s are always amazing, but the Aspec just fits so well on your ride man

The car looks kind of OEM, but not really (at least to me)...I've only seen two or three TL's running ASPEC wheels around here. As for the skinny tires, to each his own. Hopefully you'll keep these wheels a little longer than the other sets (as the car does look good).

Try adding spacers at the back, I wanna see how that looks.
Might consider also, I powdercoating A-specs to time attack and then spacers to make it aggressive looking.

I agree with Elegant Type S you will deff be changing your wheels real soon again and for the pics they look sick and your car is looking hot and i think on christmas day i saw you in hicksville cuz it was a black TL with the angel eyes. But i want to ask how did you put your front plate on cuz i really dont like the fact that the way i have it now it covers the Acura writing on the front bumper?
Can't even tell you got a base anymore.
dont like that

Being able to turn on just the fogs makes SUCH a big difference with those angel eyes! That's a perfect cruisin at dusk look!
Soooo...The A-Specs are on the BM...already?
