Don't know if this was posted yet but today at work (work for Acura) we had an 09 TL FWD on the lift with the wheels off. I found an 07 MDX sport wheel laying around (without a tire) and test fit it on the TL. Didn't have my camera with me, but the fit fine, tucked in a little just like the stock wheel. Checked behind the wheel and no rubbing, clearance issues.

So I was thinking, when searching for wheels on the net, I now have been searching for wheels that fit an 07+ MDX.
I have found a few results shopping around at:

I posted this in the rim newbie thread as well...yes, the '07+ MDX Sport wheel would look great on the '09 TL. Although it's a 18 x 8", 5 x 120mm wheel, the only difererence is it's 45mm offset (compared to 55mm for the TL)...which may look better considering it'll extend a tad more from the hub (but as you side, it stil looks OEM by tucking in a little).

I did a quick mock-up of what it would look like...

 

looks great

 

IMO the 5 spokes wheels always looks great in the 4G.

 

Looks a little too "chunky" to me. What's wrong with the stock 18" AWD rims?.....looks a lot better to me.

 

yes they will fit as the TL not longers wear a BBK. this is the problem us RL owners have. I really want to throw the MDX 19'' accessory wheels on my 06 RL but wouldn't clear the frnt BBK. Fellow 4g TL's owners will have this option. very envious

 

sort of look like Lexus GS

 

Not feeling those rims at all.

 

I think the intent of this thread was to give FWD owners an alternative to replace their fugly 17's while still looking OEM. I had a set of these wheels and they're very attractive - the "chrome-look" hypersilver paint looks great on these wheels.

 

I'm kinda diggin' the look as well.

 

Gotta agree with Pete, YET AGAIN: they look too chunky/heavy/clumsy for my taste.

 

If that's the case then this thread should be closed because we have two threads already discussing the FUGLY rims of the base TL. :-)

 

These are a great improvement over the stock, and with the limited options, it is nice to see a good looking OEM wheel on the FWD TL.
