Why does the TL look so goofy with Aftermarket wheels

I just find it interesting that someone out there had the same thoughts as me. I got my Antha last year Aug. Have been searching for a set of rims, can't find any so far. Reason being is I found that most of the TLs with aftermarket rims look like a toy. I cannot feel the aura from looking at the pictures!! Perhaps I have to see it in person.
I have seen a few TLs here in Vancouver with RIMs but they did not have any WOW factor at all.... what caught my attention was the big shinning lips.... which any deep dish rims can do it....
Then, I finally found this:
These rims are insanely expensive
which is usual... this happens everytime I pick something I like. I think it may be crazy to put on a set of $6000 rims on a 40k+ car. Figured out I would buy more stocks if I had $6000 sitting around for a set of rims. BUT I THINK ABOUT THESE RIMS EVERYDAY!!
Oh well, guess I have to keep searhing. And, I know what HondaFans is talking about. The point is I don't want to buy a set of rims just because of I want to be different from other stock TLs. I don't want the car to look like a toy car. I agree with HondaFans that the stocks rims (I have the stock 17",not even the aspec 18") look awesome on the ride. It is not overkilling, works well with the nice lines of the TL.
I saw RonJon's Inspyre Liquid Graphite 19", I'm waiting to see some pictures... I think those should look good on an antha, simple & clean.
Peace,
Jack

Some look good and some dont' with after market's!.....!...I seen some wheel's by axis, deep -dish type lip's look tough!.....( a new line for FWD I think?...., It all depend's on the wheel design , just like anything else!.....on the other hand I seen a few with DUB's on them like the Dodge magnum's that looked just plain "WACK"!

Now that is an s2000 that "Bozo The Clown" would be sure to love. His hair would match the wheels. It is certainly a unique ride and I'm sure draws its share of attention, but if I were a betting man I'd put down some smack that it draws plenty of laughs as well.

i think 3rdGenHybrid bought a 2nd TL cuz the first one was just insanely wrong.

Those Privat Netz are ugly as fuck, those Volk's are unbelievable and i am not a big Volk fan, but dam they look good..
Those Netz are like most women, good from far, but far from good...
Nice choice you stepped up to a whole different price range but nice choice

I believe though, those Privat Netz are the best looking wheels for the money that FIT the TL perfectly.
Buying a car that costs quite a bit, WHY NOT save longer and get quality and
great looks first. Who cares what others think. Even though I think the gold
GT-S look FANTASTIC on white TL'S. If my car was white I KNOW what wheel
and color I would get. But my car is ASM silver, so I am not 100% sure what
I will get next.

Hey guys....honest opinion. I haven't bought rims since 2000. I like many of you hate the type s wheels. I drive clients in my car. I was thinking the ronjon legends in the 18s. I want something lightweight and factory looking. Liquid graphite? Let me know your thoughts please, I am 30 years old no rice boy stuff anymore

I like the legends, I considered them myself. I saw a few members pics who put on a larger tire that made them look like shit in 18' I think they did the wider tire thing people were talking about. Personally I would go 19' with a minor drop but if your driving clients around that might ride a little rough, so I would go 18's with the stock A-spec tire size on them rim, that way it will ride stock and look PIMP. I ended up being cheap and just getting rubber for my stockers. Wish I could have afforded 19's and suspension but that's a little much for student. When the 09 comes out rest assured it will be on RonJons latest creation lol.

hondafans reminds me of the guy too fucking old to go to the club yet he criticizes those (who actually should be at the club) how to dress. Not to mention he stands there wearing a polyester shirt with chest-fro blowing out the shit and some penny loafers with white socks and stripes. Don't you have someone of age to reminisce with?
People on this board are enthusiasts. We buy these cars to be original. Nobody cares about your primitive logic. Its nice you like your car plain as fuck. Congrats. You get to be just like everyone else who drives their shit off the lot. If thats how you like it sweet. We don't.

3rdGenHybrid,
No disrespect bro but the fact is you "took pictures" and actually had the gall to "post that shit on this board" as if having Honda Civic stickers on a Acura TL was tight.

So many great looking wheels on this thread. The only UGLY wheels I see are those
red wheels on the Civic(TL). Great that you took them off. I hope you use them as
boat anchors...
Good luck Hondafan, doesn't seem you like alot of the great wheels on here....

i don't get why people come to car forums, but it seems as though they're not even into their cars? seems as though they're not even passionate about their car...so why be on here and cause a ruckus? i think a lot of people see me as starting a lot of shit, but i only speak the truth...
