'09 Polished Metal Metallic on WORKS

Hello fellow acura owners. New to the site, and finally decided to put up pics of my 09 TL. I've seen some incredible 4G's on this forum, and i feel like mine is nowhere close to some of the other ones on here. anyways, heres my rider!

Thanks steven! I've had the car since oct 08, and wasn't gonna touch it. Well, times have changed and decided to fit it with some proper wheels. The forum members have been cool so far, and hopefully I will be able to share just as much info as others have shared on the forum. Deuces up to all ACURAS!

I love that first pic. Great looking ride. Those GS3's look amazing, I almost went with those. I'll be puttin in Work here very soon hopefully with similar specs to you I believe. Looking forward to some more pics when you get that drop dialed in.

The wheels flow really well with the grill and style of the 4G.

Great choice!! Those Work wheels really look sweet on your ride...It will look even better when you lower on the drop. Keep it up .

Thanks for all the positivity fellas!

HawkI: put that WORK in once they get to ya! Can't wait to see what model you chose.

Earl: yea, i took into account the grill color and the general "sharpness" of the TL when i chose the wheels.

Fyah: hands down, yours is the baddest brother! fitment is spot on with a dope finish on those VS-XX's, all blacked out for that murder look, and from your sound clips, that thing hums like a NSX or something...

Are there any works in a 20 inch that will look good and not require the fenders to be rolled?

I think you have to play with wheel width and offset, but i'm sure you can find some 20" works that dont need fender rolling. i mean, they do make those wheels to order.

Yup, the nice thing about Work wheels, as I learned when ordering mine, is you can basically build them to the specs that you want to run. It's all personal preference on how you want the stance to be with them on that will determine if you need to modify your fenders. On the '09-11' TL's you would only need to roll the rear fenders as the fronts are rolled from the factory, not sure about the '12 but I imagine its the same.

UA, in the lower right hand corner, the center icon allows you to quote multiple people in one posting. Give it a try!

Nice drop, by the way....

Look so smooth and the drop is on point...Getting the headlights cleared will give a cleaner look . Keep it up!

I was going to say drop the car more and it will look better and I see you did that. Ride looks so much better at this height.
