Sold those last summer, anticipating a new 19" from somewhere. Looks like RJ's again. Now I can't decide between the Raven Inspyre's, Raven Legends or the Sentinels.

updates, well, we have the accord kit being built right now. Even tho the economy is shitty and things have slowed down EVERYWHERE, we still plan on coming out with this kit for the TL. It will consist of a front add on lip (more aggressive than the A-Spec) and a pair of side skirt spats or molded mud guards. No rear as of now.
On a side note, its funny how the new Accord has kinda took the place of the 3G TL regarding interest in modding and wheels. Like the new TL owners are not as mod happy as the 3G owners.
Here are some shots of the accord kit progress:
95% done prototype by Feb 2nd.

I agree. It's a nice wheel, but not for the 2009 TL.
Ron, I hope you didn't work for volvo. I see some similarities to Volvo's OEM wheels.

I don't know......anyhow, the are not my type. I do love the fact you are probably the only manufacturer who makes wheels for the TL, not a crossover fit. That is pretty cool and you get my business for that. Looking forward for the 2010 TL SH-AWD 6-speed.

Since the Accord kit is done (below), we are now moving on to the 4G TL grille replacement as shown in the banner above. I am working on sending my team a grille to work with, and trying to get my hands on a TL in the Nuevo Cali area (bout 40 minutes south of LA) to test fit and measure.
We will start in April and hopefully have it ready a month or 2 later.
Not to change subjects, here is the kit on a bone stock I4 Accord:
and an edited pic with wheels and a drop:

I'm disappointed with the Sentinel line going for $$$$ instead of the original plan, even with the economy in the crapper. I think I might be looking at other wheels.

Dragonlord, We just pushed it back because factories are dropping like flies, and it would suck to produce a wheel that would be discontinued so quickly. As far as the production process, we are going to switch back to low Pressure Cast and possibly do the one piece forged as well, but we have to wait a little until things settle down in the industry (end of this year).
In the meantime, we just finished the accord kit, and we are starting on the 4G Tl grille / possible the front lip.

I feel strongly both ways
Like I said, no lips, we have a phylosophy to follow, that means that we don't do fake rivets or trendy characteristics. I like to make a wheel that will last the test of time, provide caliper clearance and have an OEM kinda feel to it, with new finishes to freshen it up every season. We did the Legend Type II and the DT3 and they don't sell nearly as well as the flush face wheels.
Here's what I did to further narrow down the field, and believe me, if this wheel dosn't make you say "I need this wheel", the 3D and real thing will do the trick:
I can't make up my mind

In Search Of Sunrise....
lol, this is going to be tough.. the difference between A and B are way to subtle to give an opinion/feedback... at least for me it is...
Both look great, but based on the picture I would have to pick A.

lol , split down the middle already. I like A better, it seems more unique, while B seems more traditional. Either one would be acceptable, but I think i'm going A.
So now it's an even harder decision, I have funds allocated for 2 molds, either 19" x 8.5" and 20" x 8.5" or two different profiles of the same Diameter, like 20" x 8.5" flat faced (for BBK) and 20' x 8.5" with a really concave face for the rear.
