Nice TL man! Aren't you going to miss the 6 speed though? Regardless, they are fun to drive with either the auto or stick

As for wheels, I say go for the sporty look. The few modded ones that have come in (and by modded, I basically mean aftermarket wheels), the bling just doesn't look as good as the (cleaner) sportier look. Even the factory optional 18s don't look quite right on the TL.

Congrats again on the TL. They look hot, and hey, with the 06, now you get the tire pressure monitors ...since it seems only about 1 out of 100 customers actually check their tire pressure. Everyone else just comes in with like 20-25 psi and wonder why their car doesn't steer/drive right

Go baller/ sporty... get 20' volks, I have 19's TE-37 on mine, but if you get 20' volks on your car I think you'll be the first TL with 20" volks. Nice TL by the way, WDP rocks...

nice pics! white TL looks pretty nice. although driving TL is nice, i'd miss driving s2k so bad. anyway, IMO, i'm not into the chrome "bling bling baller" style. it just doesn't work for me.

sk2 -

Just out of curiousity, had you driven a 6 speed TL before you purchased this? I'm actually surprised how grabby and strong their clutches are. Only a few even are 6 speed to begin with, but when they come in, God I love them! It will def be what I'm getting a little down the road. (I'll be looking for black on black w/ navi).

Anyways congrats again on your purchase, make sure to post some pics once you get wheels. Haven't really seen any TLs with aftermarket/non Acura optional rims.

Enjoy! It's a fun car to drive

Welcome to the club.

20's look too big for the TL.

The biggest I'd go is 19.

Here are some 19" volks for reference

I don't want to even know how much 19" Volk would cost.

One wheel for your firstborn, or a JDM B18C, whichever is more expensive at the time

Lol... that handicap plate is for real, because I'm in a wheelchair. Most people don't belive that's my car... But it's really funny to see people face when I pull up and pull out my wheelchair.

Well since your in a wheelchair, then I would get gram lights for it. Imagine having 17x7 gram lights on your wheelchair with a mugen kit. Now THAT would be some ****

You've reminded me that I once met somebody at a NASA event in Group 3. I didn't get a close up look at the hand controls in his car, but he was definitely not the slowest guy around the track.
