Honest opinion on these wheels

Ok so I was just browsing around craigslist to see if anything interesting had been posted and this is what I came across...

http://lynchburg.craigslist.org/pts/1592181958.html

I drive a white 2.5 TL, yes its 4-lug and I figured these would look nice with some 225/45/17 rubber, i think it's a good deal, feedback appreciated

bwahaha, thanx for the guidance, apparently those are unappealing to most, but I have also been looking at 98-99 CL double spoked 5 point wheels, I currently have the premium 16 spoke wheels and I'm not too crazy about them

bigwerm they were jus gonna be temporary, because I like those over the stock wheels

and go90go those are nice, but I prefer a silver or white wheel

mandy why dont you think the 98-99 cl wheels will look good on the TL?

IMO the CL mesh wheels are hot and would look sick on our car.

Especially if you drop it and paint the calipers.

Oh man that would be hot.

For the record (and those reading this thread that may be very old and you're wondering what the OP's Craigslist listing wheels looked like):

TLin401 those mesh wheels are indeed sexy, I'll aim for those

and on a side note, I got my bumper fixed yesterday, the estimate was around $100, but since they got it done so quickly it was free

You mean the Work wheels or the 5Zigens? I never mounted the wheels, unfortunately. And even with that as a bonus, I got ripped off when I sold them, . Maybe I'll 'chop it on later.
