It's definitely an improvement over stock. They kind of look like the Infiniti M wheels.

Very nice wheels! I really like that look. Of course, I am probably the only one that really likes the 5 spoke rims that came stock on the 04-05...

Wheels look awesome, but to see them ona TL knowing they are from a Nissan kinda throws me off a little, like they aren't supposed to be there. Maybe if you painted them a different color that would help? Just my opinion.

Thank you all for the input in the whels. They are indeed 350z's and I was prepared fro some people to dont agree with that mix.

I personally dont love the fact they are nissan but what can I do, sadbly, they made the wheels I liked, not Acura. Thank you all anyways.

The A's are on the To do List. Im thinking to use a flat chrome center cap and put a black A sticker in it, then some clear and done.

As for the drop. That is olso on the list, just need to save up some $$$ . I might go with the a-spec, although I understand its less than an inch drop. I would like to do something like 1.25". Ill post more pics onece im done.

Peace,

Rolan

i like the wheels, i like the car, but i dont like the wheels on the car as the car is now.

IMO, it just doesnt flow. Maybe if you had some more mods that made your car look a bit more aggressive the wheels would look better
aspec kit maybe?

One of two anyway. At this point, I haven't seen many wheels that I would want to replace the OEM look with, and of those, they are well out of my pocketbook range.

As for the wheels being presented here, they're ok. They stick with the five spoke design that came with the car, so that is a plus in my book.

I agree, I think the stock wheels are nice, and unless you are replacing them with something nice, don't bother replacing them at all.

Nice wheels, but they don't flow.

But as long as you like them, that's what it counts.

I also love the stockies on the 04-06 TL, however my rims were so fucked up (previous owner) I was going to end up paying more to fix them than what I paid for these wheels so I figured I couldgo for 18's and change the look.

They look like the type S ones but in 19". not a bad idea, might wanna try photoshop or to test fit them if you know anyone who has them before you pull the trigger.

Well, I found plain chrome centercaps on e-bay that fit the wheels. I then just painted the A's on them. I ordered custome outline stickers locally and I just put the stickers on, primed it and painted the A" black. Im still debating if I should clear coat the centercaps but Im woried it might ruin the chrome finish. you could olso modify the cap to be flat and paint the A on it, which I was going to do but finally decided on the chrome. Its pretty simple, if you need more details let me know.

Peace,
