2009 TL Tech with White Rims.
What do you think of these? Trying to make it a type R! 19x8.5 on 245/40/19 T1R. Hate it like it? I don't mind you telling me the truth! I can take a hit!

I voted okay at best. I don't care for the red pinstripe, looks cheesy. The rim design is okay. From these pics, the rims look a different shade of white to me. I think Ron Jon's chromes are the best I've seen on a WDP 09 TL. It just looks classier for my tastes. I'm glad u have the splash guards on, I love them on the TL, it's like a baby kit and gives a lowered appearance. Oh also the tires don't look sporty enough or something?

Rims are white and not WDP, I might be wrong but isn't ITR rims a little lighter in color too?. Tires are not PS2 but those toyo T1R are pretty good.

Well, Bling and VIP style is not my cup of tea. I want it to look more sporty. If you have driven a 09 TL with 19" wheels, you will understand that Acura wasn't interested in a Luxury sedan but a Sport sedan. It's no Cadillac but a go cart that will loosen your tooth filling.

I actually like it. It isn't what I would have done with a 4G, but it looks good. Just lower it a little and you will be set

I would have lowered it but the 19" and the T1R is making my TL quite bumpy. I can now feel all the little bumps on the road but is really stable at FWY speed.

They're OK...but I think they would look better without the red trim. Unless you carry that red trim out somewhere else on the car too.

Those black Red Stripe are really nice but I wanted mine white. I am getting the front grill painted to match and depending on price I might get those wheels repainted to match.

Not feelin' it Bro, sorry...like some of the others, the TL is not a Tuner and shouldn't be modded like one. One factor that would concern me further: White Diamond Pearl is not a true white, these wheels look pretty white, almost appliance white.

Can't get rims that is exact color match. Just like black on rims won't be 100% match with a Acura Black color or any car manufactur black. I am working on it.
I am current working on getting the front grill and rims painted to match. Will have more pics once it's done. Not sure about the drop, with 19" car is ridding like a go kart.
