17" A-Spec 'looking' Rims??
Does anyone know of any 17" rims that look identical/similar to the A-Spec rims?? I'm in the market for a TL ... and absolutely love the A-Spec look ... just not sure if I'm going to have the $$ to spend $1,300 on the wheels, and then another $500+ on 18" tires ... any thoughts would be greatly appreciated ...
Thanks,
Alex

buy the a-spec wheels for the TSX, their 17'' and have the same design.

i think that they are the same because some TSX's have the RON JON's which are 5x114.3, which is the TL's, but ask ur dealership

Its the same bolt pattern but it is 7.5" wide and has a offset of 55 i think so it will look funny on the TL and the car won't feel as balanced or have as much grip as the stock wheels. If i were you, i would keep the OEM 17"

don't put the 55 offset on the TL, it will chnage handling with a narrower track space between the two tires, and it'll look funny. Honestly, if you have a $32k+ car, $1.5k shouldn't be a huge deal, i mean you'r only talking about $600-800 difference in tires. switch back to stock in the winter to get the most out of it. Besides, 18" wheel look 100 x better, you won't regret it.
