Progress on Silver Slate TLX V6

This is what it looks like so far! It looks almost slammed...and thats only the RSR down springs! The Aero kit really really makes it look different. I might get the deck lid spoiler to complete it. What wheels would you guys put?

Looks good but agree, you need some wheels. Check out Mike Chan's threads. He has tried several different wheels on the TLX.

I think a slate grey or titanium color would look good.

Bronze would too.

If that were my Silver TLX on RSR downs Id be looking at something in the Vossen lineup, 20 inch, with as much concave as possible.

I LOVE those wheels - IMO they look so much better than 75% of aftermarket wheels I see. Never seen hotter wheels on cars sold to ordinary humans (non-Lambo/Ferarri/GT40 type cars).

I think they look particularly good on the Silver with tinted windows, like they were made for that car (in a good way).

I generally prefer the 2018 model TLX, but the "chrome beak" actually looks good with the OPs silver color and his car just looks so sleek and slippery, I think the lowering works even better, asthetically, on his car than on most Acuras where I've seen it done - I'm vaguely reminded of a little pool of "quicksilver" mercury with the color, the roundness, and the highlights (but only in a good way). I can imagine the OP getting annoyed every time his car gets dirty and wanting to keep it clean and shiny :P Winter is frustrating to me with all the dirt, salt, and slush constantly splashing my car making car washes basically futile...

This is my stock 2018 Technology Package V6 FWD (non A-Spec) TLX, mine is the "Lunar Silver":

And the previous year (2017) with "Advance" package which should include everything from the "Tech" and just add more. So it would appear that "Aero" was added to lower packages with the 2018 mid-model refresh?:

The wheels that OP has, and that I have, strike me as being just about the most beautiful possible wheel combination with a Silver Acura TLX - with the shapes formed by the spokes striking just the right balance of being sleek but looking strong, and resembling the shape of the "A" Acura Logo. I normally prefer a "simpler" more plain looking alloy wheel, but the design aethetic on this particular wheel is simply outstanding IMO.

The two-tone color, the sharp thin silver rim, the machined portion - the attention to detain, just everything about the wheel is spot on and matched to this car's aesthetic as a whole with it's flowing gentle curves and subtle sharp lines accenting the hood and the sides. It invokes the imagery of a shark, swooping curled flames, or a woman's body (taking some liberty with artistic interpretation, of course).
