Exclamation 18 inch AMG wheels on TL

I've had amg wheels on my acura tl for about 8 months and know they're giving me problems. I have all these lights popping up on my dashboard, the rims are offsets 18.5 in the back 18 in the front and the tires in the back are 265/45/18
Wondering if I put my original rims on and if that would cancel out the lights

What lights are on and what size are your front tires?

Here is info copied from his other post


I have an 04 Acura TL 103k.

All 3 lights are on my dashboard, My car still runs normal besides I get horrible gas mileage. I had my battery check out and its great and I added brake fluid, and I changed my brake pads. After all this 3 lights dont budge. I read through the manual and all signs point towards breaking system. I dont want to take to a dealership,theyre a ripoff! Ive read other user forums on this site about the same problem. My tail lights still work everything works its just the 3 lights that seem to pop up everytime I crank the engine.


If he tells us the front tire size it "may" point to ABS thinking there is an issue.

OP your way short of info in both posts.

I thought AMG was for a Mercedes?

^right.
unless he got them custom fitted to his car, there is no way an AMG rim would fit.
wrong lug nut pattern.


How does one expect us to help if no information is present?

That still doesn't tell us what lights.

Pics or it didn't happen (and I am only half kidding).

OP may be talking about the TPMS warning light that the AMG wheels are more than likely causing..?

Jesstzn quoted another post above says he is driving an 04 TL. No TPMS on the 04, but a great thought nonetheless.

Lights are probably CEL, ABS and VSA, but not sure why. Having OP put OEM rims back on and reporting back would help diagnose.
