Hey all I can get these wheels for cheap what do you think? Would they bring the car out or hinder it??? It's a 18x7.5 with .48 offset, tires are a 225/45/18. I'm getting em Wednesday

eh, I'd pass on those. Do you really need all those holes in the middle to bolt up to our 5x114.3? There are better wheels out there, keep looking.

I was once told that your heart will tell you when you've found the right set of wheels.

Hi Alex,

I agree on the lug holes, but I'm getting them for $100 with tires????? How can that be bad. I don't really like the lug holes either but for that price and I need stock tires that's cheaper than even two 205/60/16 tires new. I know what you mean about finding a wheel and your heart flutter cause you want it so bad.

45 sidewall is a little fat.

are you even lowered?

alexh1266

If I was running low on funds and really needed tires then I would put these for $100 only until I needed new tires again. Times are tough, I understand, but still whenever I see a 2nd or even 3rd gen with fugly wheels it makes me

Tires are a normal wear and tear item of a car, if you know you're going to need some after a certain amount of miles why not save for them

@Rockstar no I'm not lowered yet. LOL soon on the list.

@ Alex I just got this car and I already had to have exhaust work done, alignment, right axle and tires needed now. I also need to do the breaks all the way around. The dummy I got it from just drove it and done nothing to maintain it. She did tell me she done the timing belt so that was a relief.

alexh1266

Honestly if she neglected all that maintenance then I wouldn't believe her if she said she did the Tbelt & Wpump job unless I had receipts and paperwork.

As for the wheels you asked what we think, so i was giving you an honest opinion. Good luck with your TL, when you get all the maintenance and work caught up the TL will last for a long time if you treat her right

@Alex

Oh yes she gets treated well now. I love this car. Sounds nice, has good power, and rides like a dream. i can only imagine what she will be like once up to par like she should be.
