OFF TOPIC: OMG...that is so sexy! ARE THOSE 18s? I have been in a heated debate with myself to go with 19s or 18s... And u my friend just may have pushed the envelope for me 
Back to the subject on hand... so what exactly is sprayed and what exactly is vinyl. I am imagin'n the bezel is vinyl and the "A" is sprayed while the center cross bar remains stock?... :/

I know! And u are doing such a good job too! ... Looking at your car I KNOW!!! THE FLAT/MATTE DESIGN WILL LOOK SO SIK! adding to such a aggressive looking sedan.
18 > 19 all day everyday
jk man, it all comes to personal preference and also the deal that you'll be getting. I personally always go an inch up from stock on any car that I have owned and in this case 18 tires are cheaper than 19. I must agree that 19's give the car a much better look. Try to stick with either size and dont go 20's

Ewwwww!!! NEVER DUBS (20) on the TL! I personally HATE IT! The TL is not big or bulky enuff imo... G35 look good staggard 20s... But not the TL. 19s look so fresh and fill in ever aspect of the stance and styling... But COST OF TIRES just maybe my deciding point unfortunately. And lately I really been liking how the 18s look with low offsets on all 4 corners or even staggard 18s. And honestly, its only 1in...But I bet there is a performance difference regarding ride and more.

8th Gen Accords and 4G TL's....20's all Day.
3G, 19's look great. I had 18" Aspecs so technically I DID go up only 1 inch
PS...18's look great too and you get the added bonus of extra rim protection and a slightly smoother ride
Plus, like you mentioned, cheaper tires.

You're looking at about 100 to 150 dollar difference for 19's for a full set of tires.
PS...these are the only 20's on a TL I've ever liked...
and they are damaged but not bent or cracked for a crazy price. Make the dude an offer...they are gorgeous!

I saw those few days ago...I remember them when they were for sale from the original owner..GORGEOUS! But MY GOD they are gouged and fkd up! Even sanding them down and refinishing them is only creating a colored surface with the damage I am sure still showing through... Idk, those pics don't look to light.
Besides, they still look so BIG in radius... Rubber band tires here in Tampa fl... EhEhh, No!

Tampa has bad roads?!?!
I think they look great...professional refinish would be probably 75 per wheel, no?!?! So 800ish bucks in and only need a mild drop to have zero wheel gap?!?!
Just sayin...
