Post Give me an honest opinion!!

Does anybody think that these will look nice on a 97 Rosewood(silverish grey) 3.2TL? I think that they are a nice clean rim. Plus, I have had these rims before on my Legend, but they weren't black platinum. Tell me what you think...



P.S. If somebody could photoshop these on a 97 I would really appreciate it. thx.

They are okay. I think they look too much like the stock wheels on my 2000 TL.

I like gunmetal rims especially on colors such as yours. But changing to a gunmetal finish on your car will IMHO take away from the elegance and class of the TL and go for a much more hardcore sporty look. Like the changes made to Civics, Tegs and Accords by going to a gunmetal finish.
On a car like the TL id personally stick with silver or possibly chrome, but thats just my opinion

I agree with TLinkC...they do look a lot like the OEM rims. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. How much are they going for and how big?

Thumbs down

They're cheap SSR GT1 immitations. I won't be the only one laughing if you buy them. I've actually seen them on a CL and they stick out at least 2 inches which looks totally whack. Many people also comment on the crappiness of ace wheels and their finish.

Design is alright but the quality... I must agree with Rice. ACE isn't exactly good quality. but once again, you get what you pay for.

I was going to get them in 18. 225/35 18. The platinum rim is 250 a piece. I like them because they are a nice clean rim. Does anybody have any other nice clean rim suggestions? I'm not goin for that goddy look...
