18" wheels on stock TL

How do you think the stock TL (no body kit) would look with the optional 18" wheels & Yokohama's?

Do the standard 17's look as good or better?

I'm thinking of this for my SSM/Ebony/6 speed due in November (I hope).

I think it would look great. In fact, I am hoping to get a new TL in the next 6 months and if I do I will do the same thing. I have seen the body kit in person and in my opinion it only makes an already perfect car look worse. It also looks very tacked on. Definitely not worth the $1500 dollars they are charging for it. The 18" wheels on the other hand look much better than the factory ones and would look great on the car regardless.

Has anyone been able to confirm the 18" Acura wheels are 18x8.5 and not 18x8?

I think 19's will make the tl look very aggressive, just be careful to get the right offset, especialy if getting the models with brembo
brakes.

Cool, thank you. 18x8.5 is pretty hot, IMO.
