Hi there. I recently picked up a set of 18" BMW wheels in black (mainly for the tires - Conti DW06 Plus - great price and almost new) and was wondering if they would be compatible with my TL. I know that the offset on the stock wheels is 55, well the BMW wheels are 30 so that means 2.5 cm further out to the fender wells (yes/no?). Is there any issue with the different offset?

Other than that the bolt config is correct but I would need centering rings that seem to be relatively easy to find online. BUT, most importantly is there any way to get stock-looking center caps because BMW logos will NOT work for me.

I really can't tell if they are original BMW wheels but they were made in Austria and have markings that suggest that they may be (need to try and find out in case I need to sell them).

I was just going to swap the tires over to my wheels but when I put the black wheels next to my car to see what it would look like I thought that they would be a nice change.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!!

Why didn't you buy original 18 wheels?
They seem decent looking

I've got my original wheels (see pic) but was thinking that the BMW wheels looked pretty good when placed next to the car (assuming that I can get the center cap with Acura logo). The wheels are black, not silver.

I picked them up for the tires - Continental DW06 Plus because they were cheap including the wheels. I figure I can sell the wheels for $400 to $600 on their own. Paid $800 for the complete package. Less than a year old and very little treadwear. Still, I may try to use them if it makes sense.

I'm sure it would be fine. You can even get Acura centre cap stickers if real centre caps don't work.

or measure the opening of the BMW wheel and type that into google, for example 64mm acura centercap.

The wheels will stick out 2.5cm more like you said if those offsets you quoted are correct. Get some centering rings and try it out. Also make sure you have the right lug nuts

Agreed on the lug 'nuts' especially since German cars tend to use lug bolts. Also not sure the bolt pattern is the same between German and Japanese cars...
