Lol thanx everyone but this wasnt supposed to be which wheel i should go with. I wont replace the shines for the summer but was thinking aboutthe Acura wheels for winter only. Honestly i wish they were silver better.

Maybe if the wheels werent whiter then the car it would look decent. I just don't like the look of the wheel design as a whole. Doesn't go with the GS.

^^ They look as close to the gs400 wheels as i have ever seen to be honest with ya so theyre not that awkward looking. However the poll is pretty close between ditch and keep as winter setup. well see

Those wheels look terrible on the TL. They look way too small in the TL wheel wheels. The only factory wheel that I like on the TL is their optional A-Spec wheels, which are pretty rare for some reason.

On your car, the TL wheels look 50x time better than I thought they would. And the white on white is surprisingly decent. That said, I agree with you that your Axis wheels are the preferrable summer option with these being the winter wheels. If you don't have another option, they look good enough. If you've got another option, I'll bet whatever it is that it'll look better.
