X2. If they're in good shape, that sounds like a pretty good deal.

GODZILLA & 3G TL
I wanted aspec ebony wheels for a long while, but decided on the RJ legends, 18" raven black machined finish. I've been happy with them ever since. Stock drop for now, but that will change soon enough...

RJ are a lil...well a lot! pricey according to my bank acct...LOL! But those happen to be my FAV wheels from the RJ line (Black w/machined face and the black chrome LEGENDS!) and I also was looking into those wheels and even found someone here who sold em for like a G but I was short $... Just a missed opportunity.
BTW: They look KILLER! I was loooking for 19s bit those 18s look so dam nice in the RJs!

Hmmm...
So, you're SAYIN THERE's a Chance!
lol...dude..with a drop, 18's or 19's...you really can't go wrong. But with the tire market the way it is now...cost for 19's is pretty comparable to 18's...
other than that...there's ride harshness...but TO ME...18s and 19s basically ride the same. If you're coming from a 15 with a bubble tire, then either of them will be harsh. '

QUESTION OF THE NIGHT:::
5x114.3 obviously our pattern for our ACURA TL's... 5x115 (other) I have done some research and found MOST people say it doesn't fit safely....07 off. Then there are some who say it is quite PERFECT! especially when installed with the proper hub centric ring... Any feedback or experience on this? Thanks!

BTW... This is why I am asking. Tomorrow morning I am going local to see these wheels. I am so stoked! These are a major score! IMO one of the BEST! wheels made... HRE's. These happen to be HRE 540's 3pc. Completely refinished to spun brush finish as the known finish from HRE, polished lips and backed 100% by HRE with a #800 contact customer service if ever anything was wrong with em. BUT! they are 5x115... *HELP*

Dude...if the holes line up, and the lugnuts go on. Jump on it. .7mm is VERY small so it may be fine. 5 by 120 won't work, but 5 by 115 might be a semantic. Best thing to do...test fit one. Take off your wheel, put this one on...torque all the lugnuts down and jiggle the shit out of it every which way to see if you have ANY play. Worst case scenario, I GUARANTEE you HRE has local shops that could machine out a little to make it work or I'm sure they sell some sort of spacer etc that would make it sit snug. WHy not call the 800 number and ask them directly. I am sure a lot of people have asked this question!
IN ADDITION :
To awnser your question directly, yes you can. I am running 06 Mustang GT wheels on my PA. They are 17x8s 5x4.5. 115mm = 4.527". They are direct bolt ons.
Take from a Buick website. So if it goes one way, it probably goes the other way too!
I'm going to find where you live and nicely ask that you hand em over though. Because I've had a lazy one in my pants for some HRE's for probably over a decade now.
IF they fit and you get them. I want pictures...I want autograph...I want to touch them.
Ok, kidding aside, if you can afford and they work, jump on it! They are gorgeous.

Those HRE's are a f*ckin steal! But the offset is high...that's TSX offset actually. Sick ass wheels though, especially when they usually go for around $1k PER wheel.
Regarding the RJ's, if you're still looking...they weren't that much. The entire deal (rims, tires, install, lifetime alignment) set me back a little under 2 grand. The rims themselves, with shipping & tuner lugs were a total of $1080 I think (the wheels are $270 each). The harrows are sick as hell too...that was my second choice. IMO the look is pretty distinct and the offset is pretty much perfect (+32). Once I drop a bit, they'll look even better.

Yeah, I am even still thinking to buy those HRE's...Just to RE-SELL for approx. $2k+ 
Also thinking of TSW Nurburgring's (polished face w/black backing) or Willow's (same finish but includes black lips also)

Wow...those are gorgeous too!
I actually saw a G37 with the stockies powdercoated black tonight...OMG...looked amazing!
About the aspecs...you DEFINITELY can't go wrong with those. I still think you should rock the HRE's though...test fit them! I loved my aspecs...till it was time to switch it up

If you go to the 3G Garage, WHEELS TIRES SUSPENSION, there's a sticky thread where people post their pics. I recently upgraded from 18's to 19's because I got a KILLER deal on some work wheels. IMO, 19's are the PERFECT size wheel for the fender opening on a 3G TL. Ride quality, HONESTLY, is the same on the 18's as a 35 series tires 19. No difference. I'm on TEIN SS lowered almost all the way down...I can read, but to play the Devils' Advocate I'll post both.
18" Aspec
19" Work Emotion XC8 (same drop, no fender rolling etc)

Thanks man!
I paid 1220 w/shippping from a forum member on here for these. They were new as he hadn't ever mounted them yet. You can contact Logan at workwheelsusa.com , he's a very good and knowledgeable guy.
About the Aspecs...I don't know if it's because you never see em on anything but a TL, but man, I think they look like they were MADE for her car. They almost look better on hers than mine!

cost about $1200+ but well worth it imo if you can get it for a bit cheaper than 1000.

Yeah...He wouldn't budge from a G so I said forget it because of the 50et offset... This whole wheel thing has me saying fk it for now and I am off to do some other touch ups and mods. Just installed my TYPE-S tails last night...WAT PAIN! removing the entire bumper for tail lights! That is just ridiculous! and I debadged the trunk also (ACURA & TL) but still have to goo-gone it and work some of the left over off. So, with all that said. Yes! I still don't know 18s or 19s...lol!

Jay...
It's 19's. That's IT!
And did you test fit the HRE's? The search should end there if it fits! At least in my opinion.
Ok...and NOW you're gonna be pissed. You don't have to take off the rear bumper to change the lights. Just the sides to pull it down a little to get to the 2 bolts. Well worth it though, right...the type S lights are gorgeous.
J.
Also, you don't need to take the front bumper off to change your low beam bulbs.

are u refering to removing the tail? I just didnt see any other way wiggling or anything. It barely moved out, only the top portion of each light could be removed. Seem to be some type of lip that was holding it in place behind the bumper.

Yesssir...
undo the right side from behind the rim (using small screwdriver or right angle one)
undo the 10mm bolt behind the little hidden compartment at the trunk part.
Then pry out start from the corner by the tire...it all comes out from there till under the light. Then you can slide a 10MM socket with extension to get those 2 bolts.
EASY!
