Tried these wheels on the new TL
So I decided to buy some wheels for the car, since I can't stand the base model wheels, and I couldn't find an AWD car to buy.
I was also met with the dilemma that this car is for my wife, so I don't want to buy expensive wheels for her to curb check haha.
So I went with these:
Bremmer Kraft BR01
The result is acceptable to me.
And just for fun, my other car:
Sorry no pics of the Element you might see in one of the pics, haha.

I may be faced with the same issue if I get a TL this winter. Looks like a good choice for not spending too much money.
I see you are in Houston - I'm in the Clear Lake area. If you don't mind me asking, what part of town are you in?
Also, did you buy them from Tire Rack?
Ooops, more questions. They only show that in 18 and 19's. Did you put new tires on as well? Also noticed you bought from Champion - I assume the new location? I've bought a couple there and the Internet Manager is a pretty good guy.

They are 19". Offset and width and all that is on the link I provided. Just click on the name of the wheels.
Yes, I took off the front license plate. Same for the S.
Regarding being around for 6 years and having one post, I didn't even know I had an account here until I tried to register once buying the car, haha! I can't even remember why I registed a long time ago.
These wheels are definitely nice for the price. They seem of good quality to me, and I own Work wheels on the S as you can see. I live in Pearland, just moved to the area, and love it. I love on the west side of 288 (Southern Trails).
I did buy the wheels from Tirerack. Bought the wheels, tires, and pressure sensors. They were mounted and balanced when shipped to the installation place. I didn't know that, otherwise, I would have just bolted them on myself. But hey, the installer didn't charge extra, so it was all good.
I tried to replace the B caps with the Acura ones, but the installer said that they are the same size, but snap in differently.
Champion was very good to me. My brother bought from there, and now I have. I'd definitely consider going back to them in the future.

Not to mention, my wife would probably kill the front bumper and fenders if I lowered the car.

I'm a big fan of the 5-spoke design, but they look mad small for 19's... a drop will definitely help!
As big as the 4G is, 20" are the way to go IMO.

I have been lurking for years,but these pics made me register to say,"nice ride". I have to admit I was not a big fan of the non SHAWD TLs, because of the sorry choice of rims Acura offers. But these pics made a believer out of me. Could you supply a pic of the car from the side? Again nice choice in rims,it really makes the car.

I was like you. I wasn't even considering the base model TL b/c of the wheels alone. I found that I happen to like the reflectors in the front, the tech package is the same, and figured I could go aftermarket wheels. Not mention, I could find an AWD car anyway.
Again, I'll try to get some nicer pics up. I just wanted to get some up to say "hi" to the acurazine community.

Acceptable is not good enough for me, I want to frickin' pumped to look at my rims on my car, but I understand and it's definitely better than the stockies. Ugh. They look so small now that we've seen how 22's look on AcuraGoddess' ride. I'm not going smaller than 20's for sure if and when I pull the trigger. Congrats!

I went through tirerack, and they sell the sensors for a little over 100 bucks. I can't remember the exact amount.
Sorry, I have been super busy and haven't even had a chance to get that side shot. I'm still trying to find the opportunity to just snap a shot real fast and post it for you all.
