How would these look???

17 X 7 Racing Hart alloys w/ 5-bolt pattern shod with Bridgestone Potenza RE040 215/45ZR-17 Z-rated directional tires.

I have a '00 Heather Mist TL.

I guess more importantly, will they fit??? And, should I be going for bigger rims. I do plan on installing Tein HTech springs or H&R Sports.

It should fit. After all they are 17's. Should be no issue after a drop.

Regardless of diameter, you need to know what the offset of those wheels are. +45 would be ok but higher the better.
Tire size on those wheels are anything but ideal for the TL as they are 1" shorter than stock which throws off your speedo by -4%.

Look thru THIS THREAD to learn more about wheel fitment for the TL.

They look almost identical to the ProtegeSpeed wheels. Infact I just saw once last night at our local car meet. They look the same to me.
