Just in case someone was curious to see how TL wheels would look on their dsm (same bolt pattern/offset):






Sorry for the "In-garage" pics, car isn't running at the moment so I pushed it part way out in an atempt at decent pics.

This works ok to push my car around on, but I wouldn't drive on these wheels as is. The hub centric rings in the factory Acura wheels are a hair to narrow to fit the centre of our hubs. This could be fixed relatively cheaply at a machine shop or for free with a dremel/die-grinder. These look decent enough to make for a cheap alternative to aftermarket wheels as these can be found for reasonable prices on ebay and the like.

You could probably take out the centre cap and refinish/paint it.

Haven't weighed them but my guess is that the rim by itself weighs around 25lbs.

Tires are 235/45 r17
