In Europe the Honda Accord is actually the TSX. However in some asian countries the USDM Accord is their accord as well. However the names are changed slightly like the Civic is called the Honda City in india.

The TL, MDX and RDX and ZDA are only sold in America, Canada and China! In japan the RL is sold as the Honda Legend.

If you want to know more, just ask. I owned a Honda Saber (2G TL). The Accord Euro / Accord is the TSX in the US/Canada. The USDM Accord is the Inspire here in Japan, along with the RL being the Legend as already noted.

Excuse me if I am way off base, but those wheels look very similar to TL ASpecs. Do you think they are Honda wheels?

So was that car, I think it was built '98 - '02. Yes those are the stock wheels too.

Correct. The City is a small car, here it's the Fit Aria. But imagine a bit smaller than a Civic, or think a true sedan made out of the Fit, but with a real trunk.

Those don't look anything like A-Specs.

They remind me more of the 07-08 base TL stock wheels

<- I have a set of Gunmetal A-Specs on my car.

They both are split 5 spoke wheels. That's the only similarity I see. The A-Specs flare at the end of the spoke, the lug nuts are exposed, etc.

Got it! You have ASpec TL wheels and I don't have a clue...

I can see the subtle differences the same as you. That's why I didn't say, "Are those TL ASpec wheels?" Rather, I said,

But, to clear the air, you are right that they look more like the base TL wheels. Thank you for giving me an idea of what those look like.

I didn't mean to come off as an asshole, my apologies. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that

The basis of each wheel design is similar, both split 5-spoke wheels, you are correct. Let's just leave it at that and carry on with the thread
