There is a way you can keep them both and the house. I know I did it.

Counting all the aftermarket and stock wheels I have, I have a total of 5 sets of wheels (2 sets on the cars and 3 sets sitting in the garage). Damn...

Tsx536, I believe your region should be San Francisco Region (SFR). If you're interested in trying it out, check out their website, http://www.sfrscca.org/index.phtml.

looks great dzuy, very nice for a 17in wheel! I recommend keeping the volks as well (if you haven't decided already), you just can't get the $$ they're worth because people can't appreciate the work you had to go through to get them

i'm keeping the volks and selling the rotas.
i can't justify having two sets of wheels, plus i really need the extra cash.
i wasn't expecting to get a house so soon, but oh well

Back from the dead...
Did someone on this board end up buying them? I wonder why he didn't go with 235's instead of 225's
Do they end up sticking out or rubbing? I think the stock TL's are 235's, right?

The RT don't come in 235/45/17? I thought 17 x 8 was a good width for 235's? I think the TL runs 235's on 7-1/2s?

yes, 235/45/17 is a good size for a 17x8 wheel
no, the Falken Azenis RT-615 tire does not come in 235/45/17, therefore 225/45/17 is the closest to factory sizing.
yes, the stock TL tires are 235/45/17
no, the TL has 17x8 wheels

Thanks for the correction on the TL's width.
