Many have done the rdx 19s....not a lot else tho. RLs have always been 5x120, as are the 4g TLs. Not sure about MDX, but I'm guessing they might be different as well. Not much else out there for good OEM rimsthat I can think of.

I saw a TL just today with TSX rims on it sitting in a parking lot at CVS. I didn't like it but apparently doable for the owner..........

The RDX A-Specs were 19x8.5; no 18s were available. I might be mistaken but here are the sizes and specs for all of the A-Spec wheels available:

RSX: 17x7.5 +45
TSX (1G): 17x7.5 +55
TL (2004): 18x8.5 +45
TL (2005-2008): 18x8 +45
RDX: 19x8.5 +45

All are 5x114.3

That TL with the MDX advance wheels looks great, better looking then the TL A-spec wheels IMO

Was doing a search on the TSX 17" Aspec wheels that look just like our TL 18" Aspecs...

How would these fit on the base TL?

The stock 17" TSX Aspecs look to be:
17" x 7.5"
offset: 55+

Would these fit OK on the TL?

They'd look pretty weak I think Syms. stock TL is 17x8 +45, so you would be going half an inch narrower, plus 10mm in. Even 25mm spacers wouldn't make them that great.

I think the main issue I was concerned with was the difference in offset as I dont really understand how the difference in stock +45 compares to the +55. BUt it sounds like the wheels would bolt up and would sit further inwards (less flush look). This I can understand would look extremely weak but could be slightly imporoved with spacers....but if that difference of "+10" would still look weak with 25mm spacers, that probably kills it anyways

From speaking to a tire guy, sounds like you could still go with the stock 235/45/17 tires on the 7.5" rim and it probably wouln't look any "weaker" from this standpoint?

Only reason I'm throwing this up is because I came across a sick deal on these 17" x 7.5" aspecs locally...but if they really just wont work, whats the point right?

I'm gonna keep searching to see if I can find pictures.

Thanks for the input!!

That's the 4G TL sh-awd wheels right? Re-drilled to 5x114 as I've seen a lot of ppl do for those wheels.

Also, tsx aspec wheels 17x7.5 won't fit on TL with brembos, only the non-brembos

Those are hot. You know how much they run? Need adapters to fit over brembos?

No clue how much they were. If you look below the picture I said:

"5x120 to 5x114.3 adapters act as 15mm spacers"

So they should fit over the Brembos just fine.

Then again, I hear 19" tires are a royal pain on the wallet compared to 18's, or even 20's.. thoughts?

I think willabee parted out, or sold the car as is. I remember he had a part out thread in the BM.

From what I recall, he had upper and lower rear and skunk front camber kits, and was running something like -6 degrees to get that stance.
