Winter Mode

I grew old of my OEM 5-spoke 17" wheels during the winter, I wanted something a little more unique than all the TLs on the road, but I'm picky and want OEM quality. Originally I was going to get A-specs for my winter wheels (I have RonJon 3-piece devotions for summer) but I decided it wasn't worth buying new tires since my Pirellis are still pretty new. So Acura offers another 17" wheel as an option, but I have yet to see them on this site. I saw a TL with them in persona and fell in love. The finish is chrome look, just like the a-specs. So in the winter, my TL has a luxurious look, where in the summer, with the RonJon is has a sporty look. I just snapped some quick pics, the car is really dirty, but I just wanted to show the wheels

Very nice. I was looking at a 5 spoke design for some 18" aftermarket wheels but I may have to broaden my horizons a bit after seeing this.

I like it! So you have a nice set of rims all-year round. BTW sorry for getting off-topic but how come you just didnt black out the housing in the headlights instead of using film?
