^ That picture doesn't really give them justice. I personally like the RDX A-Specs and being 19" makes me like them more. That website is also wrong. It's a 5x114.3, not 5x115, bolt pattern and I've confirmed 19x8 through an Acura dealer. I'll get pics up when I get them and see if I can't change your mind

Have you considered the HFP wheels that come on the '09 Accords?

http://www.finishlinewheels.com/HOND...09/A-63932U35/

I think CJitty has them, they're 19" and look good, with OEM fit. ET is 45 IIRC.

Yea I like those too..but at $500 for a complete set, I think I'll stick with the A-Specs. I was planning on getting the TL A-Specs but for the same price, I'm now getting bigger rims AND tires

That's the trigger-puller for me. +45 offset just like the TL A-Specs Basically it's the same rim, 1 inch bigger, with smoother lines = I want them

Well the ones I'm lookin at are 19x8 +45. They are pretty much the same thing as the 18x8 TL A-Specs but in 19s!!!! Also, the lines on the spokes are a little smoother and blend into the lip better.

where are you finding them for 500 a set? I'm about to raise up my car and not looking forward to my wheel gap. Man, good luck on tires for those 19s, 18s already hurts for good tires.

I also just realized that the new TSX has 18" A-Specs that look a lot like the RDX ones. Maybe they just updated the look of A-Specs for their newer vehicles. I personally like them more than the ones Pete has on his 2G.

So i had my winter wheels on w/o the tpms (test), at first it says check tpms with the (!) symbol, after a few miles there's a tpms light that comes on that says 'tpms' .... anyway sorry for noob question but will it harm my tl in anyway? Is there such a thing as 'safe mode' or anything like that just because of tpms?

^ I doubt it. I think it's prob like my 2G's "Maintenance Required" light..it's there to make you do something. Or if you don't know anything about cars, to take it to the dealer..LOL
Now if an ABS light comes on, I'd be worried. But it would prob be best to just put them in your winter tires too..maybe buy an extra set??

My rims are nice but they arent amazing, especially considering they are in poor condition. I'm about to swap out the rims with the type s and raise it up pretty soon here. TL is about to be retired pretty soon. Time for some much needed modern warfare 2

Hmm..well now I'm getting conflicting statements. One place says 20lbs..I asked for a shipping quote with details..while another says 25lbs. Either way I think I'll be happy with the buy.

^ Used to be a rental, and i think ive turned towards a 4door pickup. Got a couple f150s im looking at.


Links:
1.2005 F150 XLT 2door

2.2006 F150 XLT 4door

3.2005 F150 4door

The last one was also rental. But i think i can talk them down a good bit to where i might even come out ahead on the trade.

fender liner? could that be the cause of intake sucking water?

It shouldnt have been the cause as i only removed a 4-5inch section from the top where the tire had rubbed through it.

Mileage isnt that high for me. My TL will have over 93k on it. Ill change out all the fluids and have it checked out by a mechanic before anything happens.

I thought you can't get pulled over for not wearing a seatbelt? Isn't not wearing one just a secondary offense.
