TLS Wheels suck
I've had the wheels stolen on my 07' TLS 3 years ago which were replaced, i've gouged 2 of them since too. Last year I started getting that vibration at 65/70 mph & it turned out to be 2 bent wheels so I replaced them. Everything was fine until today when the vibration is back. The wheel weights are all on the car, tire pressures normal but the vibration is defintely there. I'm done with replacing the stock wheels, they are garbage, poorly made/constructed & bend if you run over a pencil. Just gonna live with it now. I've never owned a car with so many wheel/vibration problems in my life. I guess Acura likes the business of selling new wheels. $$$$

Were the new ones OEM or replicas?
I've never had a problem with my OEM wheels, the 04-06 stockies or the A-Specs.
Maybe you need to watch out for potholes?

Hmm....not experienced the problems you're talking about. I've "kissed" my wheels when I've tried to park too close to curbs (so I don't get door dings). And in the process, I've scraped my wheels instead.

Stock wheels are pretty decent actually. As RetardedOrange said, the problem is your NJ roads. THEY SUCK!

Ryan's loving his ATLP TL
I had the same exact issue on my Type S, it's most definitely your tires you have. Do they all have sufficient wear? I'd get new tires if you haven't already. I love Michelin's Pilot Super Sport tire. Amazing grip! :P

I took off my TL-S wheels last week, and cleaned them today. They look brand new, with 43K on them. 2 little flaws on 2 wheels and 1 of them happened when the asshole at the Tire shop put a nice little nick on them. I think you are just not really careful like most of us when driving. I drive like a pussy when I know there are bad roads.
