There is alot more that I want to do, but............I need a more understanding wife. Haven't decided if I am going to remove the badges yet. I might pull everything but the S. I am waiting to see what comes out after SEMA, before I do too much more.

I am now 100% thoroughly convinced that 19" on stock height is perfect.

Looking great!

19's do look good at stock height, but I would like to lower it a little bit. Right now I would leave the exuast out in the street though. Saw a 06 at lunch that was perfect, about a 1" drop, just enough to eat up the wheel well.

I got them from a friend that owns a tire shop. He had a Momo catalog that one his distributors dropped off. I left the old ones at the shop, they will sell them.

Lookin sharp, wanna know something funny, The supplier for those wheels is the same one for the Classic Devotion-3pF you have on your car, same centers, rivets, lip and paint, just different design. Funnier thing is that the boxes at the supplier's factory says "Made in Italy" even tho they were being built right there next to the RonJon Devotion-3pF in California, Baldwin park.

Thanks for the beautiful 07 ASM TL pics I have the exact same car having a hard time finding wheels that fit What are all the specs on the wheels, tires, etc. Do you think you can lower 1" You said you are scraping now? They look like 18". I guess in person they look bigger

Once again, thankyou VERY MUCH Looks great

You scrape now coming up the driveway?

Thats weird, 19x8.5 with 245/35 tires should be just a wee bit larger in diameter than stock, making the car just a wee bit higher....or must be one steep driveway.

The wheels are Momo FXL-2, 19 x 8.5, two piece. I am not sure of the offset. I told my buddy what I wanted, when he delivered it to me, I didn't really care. He kept the old wheels a tires and what ever he gets for them, he will take it off my bill. He does alot of suspension and brake work too. Good friend to have!!! I don't see a 1" drop being a problem at all with this set up. I just can't.

I first saw these wheels on a silver Audi S4 about 6 month ago. When I saw that car, thats what I wanted, and it had to be those wheels. My wife wanted a G-35, and when we went and looked, there was the Acura dealer across the street. I had always liked the TL, and when we walked over and saw the TL-S, everything changed! Had to have it, but still had not changed my mind on the wheels.

Yes, the licence plate holders have to go. Can't find anything I like. Is there a good web site for licence plate frames? Has any one seen the "Momo equiped" frame online anywhere?

The two piece design is set up for the TPMS. I don't think the 3 piece wheel is.

YAH, keep the stock wheels/tires for backup. Unless your buddy can get $1k+, its not worth selling them.

I thought about keeping them, but I really don't have anywhere to keep them. What ever he can get for them is fine.
