Im a little confused...

Those look like the V6 wheels on 15-17 TLX cuz they are changing the style.

Also the seat stiching looking like advance inside but missing heated steering wheel button and button for parking sensors on left side. Maybe I'm missing something but trying to connect the dots. It could be just a Technology pkg. Still confused if rims are different for advance then tech. I guess ill find out this week when my dealership gets their first TLX. We are getting a blue ASPEC!

I agree with you. It's definitely not the Advance trim level. And I'm a bit confused about the wheels too.

That's a bit disappointing to me. All the '18s should feature new wheels in my opinion. Acura did such a good job with the A-Spec and even the Advance. How hard would it be to simply upgrade the wheels on the lesser trim levels? The wheels on the V6 from '15 - '17 aren't awful but they're far from great. The 4-cylinder rims however, must go. Have hated them since day 1.

OK I thought the base v6 and v6 tech might carry over those wheels, they are good looking

NO. They are different looking 17"rims, way better than the original 15-17

The new 17" wheels definitely pass the test. Unoffensive and conservative. That'll do the job.

It says that 19-inch are available for all. I wonder if the price will be as insane as when I inquired to get a the "Diamond" 19-inch. Even without the spoilers package it was still like $2000.

I actually like my 2.4 2016 rims and think they look good with the white. They are different and look good from lots of angles - and - most importantly - they hide the brake dust and road dirt very well. My wife likes them too. All that being said, the new 2.4 wheels are fine.

The new 17" wheels look good. Not a fan of the new Advance package wheels. Those A-Specs though....want
