Not a big fan of the A-spec 18" wheels on my ILX, and wondering if the 18" double-spoke TLX wheels would fit?
I checked specs and the only differences I could find are the offset (45 vs 50) and bolt pattern (5x114.3 vs 5x115). Not sure if these are enough to make any difference in proper fitting, rotation, ride-handling, etc.
^^ I am not usually an "aftermarket wheel" kind of guy but I must admit these look really good! Not sure how they would look on the ILX but they seem promising.
I too am usually not a fan of aftermarket wheels, being that most of them are either too busy or too over-the-top. But these looked really good. Actually, most of the RWC wheels look really good. Very tasteful, simple, yet visually appealing. They are by far my favorite of all the various aftermarket wheel design companies. RWCWheels.com
I'm also liking the AC69 Tech, but looks like it doesn't come in 18-inch.
I'll let you know if I decide to go this route and may PM you. I'm still thinking about sticking with the TLX 18" OEM just. I believe they have the helmholtz resonators and I am very picky about road/drone noise, so that is the one thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on those RWC wheels.

Did you ever slap on the TLX wheels on your ILX? I am looking to buy some for my 2016 Premium (hate my current wheels) and I am wondering how they look and how the ride is. Going from 215/45-17 to 225/50-18 so im a little worried it will look like a monster truck lol. thanks
I did not purchase them yet but plan to. I found someone close by in NC that has a full set in new condition. Unfortunately have just not had a chance to drive over to get them.
Here is a very quick rough edit I did using the online images to get a sense of what it would look like. I think it will look really good. Note the bottom pic is the Acura OEM 18" Diamond-Cut Alloy Wheels for comparison. I still think the TLX 18" look better.
