Either or. Get rims for quality more than color.

i'd be tempted to pick up a set if they ever came in gunmetal, i'm just not a big fan of bronze or silver wheels on a silver car.

x2.....i'd go with the bronze too, just because it
has a different appeal to it, instead of a
ordinary silver color...just my thoughts.

Do you know if these will fit on a 2001 Acura TL, and if so would I be able to get an Acura center piece?

Just check the bolt patterns on each wheel. Yes you can get the acura caps they are hard to find though.

Does anyone know where I can find the Acura center pieces for the 17 inch Honda Civic HFP rims because I want to put them on my 2001 Acura TL. Also what type of tires are on the white TL shown above?
