2012 AwD TL

Hi all
I'm a little new to the TL family. In march I trade my 2007 tsx for a 2012 AWD TL sliver moon with black interior. After looking at some sweet ride here over the pass few weeks I decide to do some upgrade my shelf . Today I went ahead and get the car tinted 35% around . On Friday I have an appointment at Acura of Westchester to have my kit install price $825 plus tax for the front ant side dont really like the back so im keeping my rear splash guard after looking at Weather TL don't know if it's a good price but the best I can fine. I paid more for my tsx kit so I think I get a good deal. I also have the rear roof spoiler on order to be deliver on Friday with custom peddles. I will post before and after photo once I figure it out . Thanks all

They will fit without any problems if you don't drop the car. Your car will sit higher though due to increase wheel size

Or if you interested you can buy my 19"s

I like them as well. Can you post more pictures of the calipers, possibly showing the entire tire and wheel.

The cover's look good and should not be compared to the plastic Brembo one's that are on ebay,i am looking at them myself.They are much better looking than stock and the new RDX has something similar.

After one year of ownership and lots of research I have decided to upgrade my TL by adding the h&r springs and new wheels . I went with the h&r springs because it give me the look I'm looking for I also went with the Lexani CXV -55 with machine and chrome lip 20x8.5 with a 35 offset. I think picking the right wheel is one of the hardest thing for me.i plan to have the car ready for April since I stored it for winter. I will post photo once complete.

Sounds good,you should be very happy with the results.The rims you choose is vey similar to the Vossens CV 1 that i was looking at before.

Like you, i have my car in storage and look forward to Spring when i can start working on it again .

Yes it is I really love the cv1 but price at $599 per wheel was not what I was looking to spend. I fine the cxv. 55 on element wheel on sale for almost half the cv1 . I'm very happy with the wheel choice and the price I paid since it took me one year to pick a wheel
