I think you're right. They look like rims from 6 series BMW???

sixsixfour 10-24-2008 10:08 AM

looks like replica (if not actual) M6 wheels to me.

I dont know about u guys but the 4g in NBP with a slight drop is the way to go!!!

DavidJuch 10-24-2008 10:39 AM

Like I told before, all 2009 TLs stands too high. All of them need a drop and good wheels. Then we can talk about Acura TL.

uusunn 10-24-2008 11:06 AM

looks like an M45 from the side mixed with an M6 on the fenders..

someone needs to do something about the 4G front =(

PetesTL 10-24-2008 11:46 AM

I'm surprised those fit with that offset (38).

ed99 10-24-2008 11:55 AM

They must be replicas because BMW's bolt pattern is 5x112 vs ours 5x114.3. Unless the new TL changed the bolt pattern to same as BMW's.

Type34 10-24-2008 01:25 PM

The eBay ad says they're made by MC Design Tek and the '09 TL (and RL and '07+ MDX) bolt pattern is 5 x 120mm, so yes, those are replicas.

Replicas or not, damn that looks tasty...especially if the grille frame and rear trunk lip were painted :yum: Yeah and probably a slight drop...

VoLLy 10-24-2008 01:35 PM

Nice, they fit the 4g well.

puma0504 10-24-2008 05:20 PM

WOW..that is my favorite 09 TL I have seen yet.

Steven Bell 10-25-2008 01:51 PM

Man...I really like the look of those wheels on the new TL.

acura00man 10-25-2008 01:57 PM

tasty!! lol The grill is just screaming for an asshole, "KICK ME!!!"

jokes jokes

JAB00 10-25-2008 03:39 PM

The wheels look good. The grille on the TL needs to be painted. I like some of the paint jobs I've seen on this side. It's just too much chrome.

ILLustriousUA6 10-25-2008 04:29 PM

So the new TL's have the bolt pattern of 5x120....

the possibilities of getting NICE wheels are really high for this car...

Now they can buy used BBS's/hre's/dpe/iforged/encruez from BMW owners!!!

lucky bastards.

OTSB708 10-25-2008 04:33 PM

4G TL's FTW!!!

BLACKURA_NY 10-25-2008 06:41 PM

hmm... so wouldnt an 8th gen accord suspension most likely fit the 4G ?

Baapo 10-25-2008 08:06 PM

To each his own, but they look ridiculous IMHO...especially without a drop i.e...

Mudflaps...ugh...
Tiiiiiiinnnnny brake discs...soo exposed with those wheels...
Huge gap in the wheel well...

Looks more like a rail-car than a road-car...

Blackacura havent seen u in the 4g forums too much! What do u think about the new TL??

nhousepro 10-25-2008 08:40 PM

Not feeling it!

PetesTL 10-26-2008 10:06 AM

To me, it looks rather silly. Obviously, someone is trying to make this TL look like a "M6 fighter"....what's next, a fake "V8" badge?:whyme:

FiveLiterCheater 10-26-2008 11:04 AM

Damn, those really transform the car. First set of wheels on the 4G that actually look...GOOD.

Is this a confirmed fact, i.e., that the 2009 Acura TL (& TL SH-AWD) bolt pattern is 5 x 120 mm?

I have read a lot of speculation on this site about this but noone (to my knowledge) had actually verified.

I know for a fact that the offset is +55 but have been waiting to hear on the bolt pattern before I order aftermarket winter tires/wheels.

Thanks.

ACCURATEin 10-26-2008 04:42 PM

Hottest black 4G to date!!!!



I'm anxious to see one with wheels, no wheel gap, and the front/rear apron add ons and side skirts. :toocool:

omg this is the most insane picture ever....all doubts about the new TL are gone....this is an amazing car, damn those rims look hot on it.

vincethe1 10-26-2008 10:47 PM

Which Brembos are you talking about, the 3G TL's Brembos? If those are M6 rims it should also have brakes that require a lot of clearance so it should fit over the TL's Brembos too.

agreed 100%...i tihnk that looks absolutely awesome

erick3 10-27-2008 12:25 AM

M6 wheels for sure. Not a bad match up imo. Blacked out grill/rear shield, drop, aspec kit, would do the car wonders!

...I wonder if anyone's given thought to color matching those reflectors? :what:

09TSX 10-27-2008 06:01 AM

PetesTL...I agree with you 100%!!! That BMW looks like CRAP, and yet people wil say the TL looks horrible.....I'd be ashamed to be seen in that bimmer!

i wouldn't go that far...i'm sure after you step on the pedal in that bmw you'd take that statement back

Nope, BMW is 5x120.


Acura should hire BMW to design their wheels.

And most likely those are rep's. There are a ton of them floating around and can be had for about $800-1000 a set.

I finally got the definitive answer to my question -- I found it on my own.

I am convinced that I wouldn't change my mind for this particular design...I am not anti BMW, I do love the 3 series and I would certainly drive one no problem, but this particular design is horrible!! I don't care how well she cooks, if she is ugly, I am taking her home!! :)

ifirahse 10-27-2008 07:22 PM

Hmm M6 or TL? Such a hard decision....

BlacuraTLTYPES27 10-27-2008 08:30 PM

i didnt like it when i first saw it but with wheels like these, the 4g is starting to grow on me

Steven Bell 10-27-2008 09:01 PM

Pete,

I need to come to Chicago for the New Year's Day hockey game between the Blackhawks and the Red Wings at Wrigley Field and see your car! I tried to get tickets online tonight and can't find anywhere to do it. I'm a HUGE Blackhawks fan-I have been for years. As a matter of fact, I'm a goaltender myself and play in all 4 Blackhawk jerseys.

Interesting, how did you become a Blackhawks fan? (As far as the hawks are concerned, disappointing season so far after all the hype....hope the new coach will make a difference). That Wrigley game is gonna be something else!
