Red face Need Help Getting Rims For My Ride!!! Help!!!

Need help with rims...What do you guys think of the 5 Zigen hyperblack 18s?? I'd prefer 19s but they're 19x8.5 just like the Axis Pentas which is my other choice. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Before you ask us our opinions, do your homework to see if they will fit the car at all or not. Read this article first:

Find out the specs for those rims (offset, width, etc) ... if they are 8.5" wide -- forget it. Unless you're willing to drop serious $$$ on bodywork for those rims to fit (they are too wide for our high offset cars), then look somewhere else.

Just keep in mind that you will get no where near the lip that those show.

They all look good but like he said you will not get a lip like that. I have the RH C2's on mine. Just follow the guide posted above and make sure you get the correct offset. I say go for the 5Zigen never seen them before on the TL.

Yah I'm going towards the 5Zigens too...they seem to have the safest fit for what I want to do. A couple more comments please from the OG's on here and I'll finalize my decision. Thanks to the rest of you guys

Few things.

1. What is your price range?

2. The Racing Hart wheel on the pic looks like Multi-Piece C4 because of the rivets and from what I know, they are pretty expensive compare to the 5Zigen on the pic or Tanzo.

3. If you are looking in to Racing Hart C4, there are 1 piece and multi-piece how ever, 1 piece C4 does not have the rivets. The sad thing about Racing Hart C4 one piece wheels are that they are hard to find. My brother was looking for them few month ago but gave up. NO one had them in stock with correct offset. With 19x7.5, You will need offset ranging from +42 to +48 but with +42 offset, you may have to roll your fender a little. The good thing about C4's whether its 1 or multi piece are that they are made by Takechi Projects in Japan which is the REAL RACING HART WHEELS. Just remember that Racing Hart wheels and RH wheels are not same brand. .

I got 2 grand range plus or minus. Going with H&R OE springs too. Thanks for the info SSK0771. It's good to know the RH are quality rims if I decide to go with those. Still leaning towards 5 Zigens.

Whatever you get, stay with 18's. I was going to get the 5ZR 18's, but they were on backorder forever so I went with ro_ja's. The hyper 5zr and copse would look hot IMO.
