What do you guys think about these? Would you use these or still stick with the HFP? They're both 10 spoke design.

Those are sweet. Way better than HFP. More expensive too. :paranoid:

how are they "better" than the 19" HFPs? HFP is so much cleaner, me personally i HATE 2 wheels in one, too ghetto for my taste

Me3... the '09 TL is more angular/boxy/sharply-faceted, so straight-spoke wheels suit it much better, whereas the '08 Accord sedan is softer/rounder/flowing therefore some degree of concaveness looks good (ala' HFP 18"/19" wheels).

Give it time, these OEM wheels will be discounted & resultingly cost a lot less than this somewhat initial offering. Also, there will be many slightly-used ones on the market as new-owners will swap them out for whatever the rim du'jour maybe. . .

Being that they ('09 TL OEM wheels) mimic/resemble a straight/split-five spoke design, I feel there are many other better offerings available w/ such a design-theme.


With all that said, I wonder what these '09 TL wheels would look like in motion if the black/darkened spokes were painted either matching body-color or high-gloss chrome? I'm curious if there would be an illusionary effect! :cool:

What's up O'!?

I also prefer the 19" HFP wheels for the coupe... As for the sedan, it's just ok..... I was just curious what other people thought. I definitely agree with you that the 09 TLs have an edgier design therefore these wheels with sharp lines fit in that car more.
