I"ve been searching and can't seem to find any for less than about $250 per wheel. The quest continues!

Ya man, I hear ya. I was checking for months and finally came across them on ebay with a starting bid of $100.00; and on top of that, the guy only lived 60 miles away from me in Syracuse, NY! So I contacted him, worked out the price via messaging, made the drive and scooped them up. Just gotta keep searching and eventually, something will come up

These look fantastic for a factory wheel set up. Those in gunmetal color would look very good on my WDP 04. Nice work!

Those wheels look better on the TL than on the Genesis.
They must have came off of a Genny coupe.

Sand down the the center caps, get a set of vinyl Acura decals and you're set.

5AT brakes indeed. Not sure about the BBK, but they are 19x8 FR and 19x8.5 R with +35 offset.

These look great. I agree with the center cap comments; but painting them silver made them look a lot better. How does it look without any center caps?

Doesn't look good without the center caps, I don't dig that look. Plus, I don't really care what the caps look like at this point, im over it lol. Its so miniscule that I don't even notice them anymore.

Well, I love these on my car so much, that I sold my TSW Rivage setup and have made these my permanent wheel setup for the time being, and since I have my car in the garage for the winter and am driving my SUV, I may have the wheels powder coated either silver like they are or maybe even gun metal... Hmmm...

I may do that this summer, but for now, totally content with them being painted.

I don't think Scott was being insulting .. even 9 year old black paint can look good ... I think he was just suggesting that it would really make the rest of the car ( nice one too ) pop if it was polished out.

Sorry, didn't mean it as an insult (hence the smilie)

Like Jesstzn said, 9 year old black paint can look amazing when properly polished. It would go very well with the wheels!

I gotcha. Sometimes things via text as opposed to verbal can easily be taken the wrong way, no worries though my brother. Ya, it was early fall when I took these pics, so the spring wax had worn off and the pre winter wax had yet to come. lol The swirls will be gone in spring 2014.

I believe the stock/base size are 18 inch wheels with the R-Track option package which consist of 19s.

Aaaaand I just fell in love. They look like they were made for the TL to begin with.

Adding this to my wheel shopping list since they will be around the same price as a new set of Varrstoen ES2's.

Wheel quality of these is obviously high due to being factory rims, and that's another thing I dig about having them on my TL, is that they keep a 'Factory/Stock' look with some pizazz.

Ok, so I came across a set of the rear rims (19x8.5 +35)... I am thinking of buying them and replacing the fronts so Ill have the 19x8.5 on all four corners... will I have any issue running these in the front?

I figured I would be, but I'm a check and double check kind of guy. lol. Thanks. Once I get all four on the 8.5 inch wide rims I may put some 5 mm spacers on the rear to enhance the stance a bit.

FYI, They will not clear the BBK. Just tried one on and there is not enough clearance.

always liked these wheels, very eye catching. it did cross my mind as to how they might look on a TL but I thought the bolt pattern would be off. good to see someone go for it!

I liked the ride quality on the setup I had with the 19s, 35 series tires, and Tein S-Tech. It was a little rougher obviously, but not bad at all
