Saw these 17" A-spec rims at the dealer today on a TSX...

And I think the color blows the color of our TL A-spec rims away. I would kill to have my rims look this good. I also think these rims would look nice on a stock TL, however I don't know if they'd be wide enough.





I think they are high-polished aluminum/titanium in color, vs. our painted gunmetal-ish TL A-spec rims.

it looks exactly like the tl a-spec wheels to me, just chromed. although that 3rd pic does look like a 17 inch wheel instead of 18

Umm, yeah, they're the exact same design, just high-polished aluminum, not quite chrome. I was just commenting on the color difference b/w the bland A-spec rims on the TL and the TSX's high-polished aluminum.
And they are 17" for a fact, you don't need to worry about that. I believe they are 7.5" wide, vs. the TL A-spec's 8.5" footprint.

I saw these rims on a tsx at the dealer too. The sales guy said they were chrome, but they are definately not chrome.

I"d sure like to find a set of those in a 17X8 for a stock TL fitment. I'm surprised nobody has commented on the brakes. Is that an "A-Spec" brake upgrade, or purely aftermarket?

Those were pre-production shots... the wheels are identical to the real thing, however.

copter.. those are nice and all.. but a tad too bling bling for my tastes... i like the subtle high-polished effect of the TSX's rims
