OMG...I saw these on an M5 and thought wow...those would look amazing. Just an idea and wanted to see what you guys think.

They are HRE's so I know they would probably be about as expensive as a camel hoof dipped in the rarest copper from the finest kenyan copper mines.

But one can dream!
Enjoy!

it's not dude...it's like a 4 inch chrome deep dish. I almost sat down and served myself some arroz con pollo on it.

I'm serious...I normally don't go nuts for a set of rims...but these are so nice. IMO, obviously.

ehh they dont thrill me by any means. First off those are too big so to look right on a TL they would need to be a couple inches smaller.

Well, yes. But in no way was I trying to imply that I wanted someone to give me a hand and leave this guy on bricks. I meant, with the correct offset and size for out cars...this rim would look amazing.

def not stock...they're HRE's...there's no price quote even on the website! I would imagine it's so you don't run the other way wihtout them having your info to convince you to buy them! lol

about the pic...yeah...took it from the work van...didn't wanna seem too conspicuous. If it's still out today I'll stop and take a pic of the rims head on.

Sick, gotta love HREs. Too bad they cost as much as a "camel hoof dipped in the rarest copper from the finest kenyan copper mines." as you so eloquently put it lol

Spokes are too flat and uninteresting for my taste. I like them to be a little more three dimensional.

The owner should be slapped for parking like that. The rims do look appealing no doubt.

Lol...that lot's always empty. He normally parks diagonally and takes up 3 spots. I think he must be the owner of whatever commercial building that is.

I got a few more pics...I'll check my work pics in a bit to see if they were received.

Its all relative IMHO... You'd look foolish with $1200 wheels on a 90K+ car.

I don't think they'd look amazing on a TL, but then again, I don't like them, so I don't think they'd look amazing on any car.

Well...for that much money, I think I'm pretty much out of the running guys. I'd rather pay off the car, and with that much...I almost could!

I still love em though.

Sho nuff...now that I looked at the HRE website...I see there are many combinations and spokes available...very nice and a good starting point. C'mon someone, sell a kidney and let's see how this looks on a 3G!
