i can sell you my old rims (04 rims) for winter tires so its an easy swap. The Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 and Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 has some good ratings on tire rack with 235/45/17 tire size.

Those are the two tire options I'm looking for.The qustion then is if your 04 17" rims will clear the Brembo calipers.

Hey Chuck,
Guys are selling stock wheels all the time. For winter duty they work just fine and are probably the best choice. You can find them here in the Black Market section or on ebay. A set should cost around $400 to$500 including shipping. The tire choice comes down to personal preference and whether you get a lot of snow or not so much. Check out the comparisons at the Tirerack.
You're off to a good start on your vehicles. My collection consists of:
06 Acura TL
06 Yamaha FJR
03 Aprilia Tuono
02 Corvette ZO6
96 Ford Probe GT (winter beater)

Are you confirming that any 3rd Generation TL(S) 17 " wheel will work on my 07 TLS?

The wheels from 04 to 06 are the same design and will all fit except in 06 they were changed slightly to better accomodate the tire pressure sensors. I understand some folks run without the sensors on winter or aftermarket wheels. Perhaps someone else can chime in with how easy the sensors fit in the 04 and 05 wheels or what effect running without them would be.

If anyone has a set of 3G TL or TLS rims please PM or email.
Thx Mangs.
