Will these fit/work?

Alright, for starters im 16 and broke, but looking for a way to make my 2g tl look a little bit better...
these are the cheapest rims i could find that im at least semi-confident won't bend to easily..

i found a package for $792 shipped with tires..
i know it will fit the bolt pattern, but im not sure if they are wide enough..

The link is just to a pic, give the wheels specs and that will help get an answer.

I think they are ugly, and chances are they are 17s or 18s, right? If you like them do it, but its way too many spokes for me. They would HAVE to be 19s to be close to looking right for that wheel.

Do you have a Type S? If not, I'd suggest going with set of Type S wheels from the 02-03 TL or 01-02 CL (the 5 spoke wheels).

Instead of paying 800 for wheels and tires that you only somewhat like, you can probably pick up a set of Type S wheels with good tires for like 600 on the black market and then springs for like 200 brand new from ebay (ie tein s-tech's which are a nice drop). This will be a great start to your TL and it will be looking fresh for sure dropped on Type S wheels and still be in your budget.

What color is your ride?
What are the specs on the rims your looking at? Size, width, offset, etc.?
What are you looking for? bigger rims, wider rims, more spokes, style, flash, etc?

I have a set of Konig DTS Glides for sale. All black.

lol, he didn't post a thread about making a track car or becoming a racecar driver, he wants to know if the damn wheels will fit or not. haha.

Pretty low offset to mess with unless you dont mind doing some work to make them fit. If you are going to do some work to get wheels to fit if I were you I would find better lookin wheels. c'mon man, its a TL, not a Sentra.

Roll your fenders, cut tabs, possibly a slight stretch on the tire and maybe a little camber, depending on if and how you are lowered.
