spokes are too thin, exposes too much of our smallish brakes.

the spokes are way too thin for a 5 spoke on a TL imo.

agree with everyone on the spokes being too small. ive seen those rocked out on a bunch of eclipses and accords and once on a minivan around here. only the minivan looked good

I know I am bumping an old thread... but:





Looks pretty damn good to me. Im thinking about grabbing some 17x8 or 18's for my 05 metallic gray TL.
