New Enkei 18" Wheels

I posted when I first got my car a month ago that the Dealer had agreed to put OEM Chrome Wheels on my car. Well they have had trouble getting them, so they called me and asked if I would like a set of 18" Enkie LM1 Wheels with 245/40-18 Yokohama AVS ES100 tires instead. I said yep, sounds good to me. Look at the first picture in my Gallary I took with the wheels on a TL on the Showroom floor. They will change them out for me Friday. They are brand new. I have 2,000 miles on the Bridgecrap tires. I am very happy with my Salesman and the Dealership to say the least.

Nice looking wheels. Be sure to post pic's when you have them on the car.

What OEM chrome wheels were you going to get instead? Did not know there where any available other than the "grey" optional 18"s?

The Dealer is sending the Take Off Wheels to Cal. to have them Chrome plated. They are a little behind because they do not have a lot of Cores to Chrome. When I bought the car they thougt they had a set coming in a week. They have not shown up yet. For making me wait they agreed to put the 18" wheels on instead.

Gotcha - thanks for clearing that up. I misunderstood and thought the original deal was for chrome 18"s.

Reason I was so interested is that I really want 18"s - and like the OEM optionals, but not the color (saw them in person on a Redondo Red and did not care for the grey color.)

They would look sweet in Chrome or Silver. I may need to buy them and have them chromed if I cannot find anything I like aftermarket.

Nice wheels.

I notice you have wood trims around the stereo and even the air vents. My TL doesn't come with as many wood trims pieces as it showed in your pictures.

Are those OEM accessories or the car came with it?

Rbraud,

Can you post a photo of the wheels and the whole car? (even the one at the dealer), those look great!

Thanks!

I added the only other one I had. It's the 2nd picture. It's a little dark. When I get them on my car, I will take some more pictures.

They seem to match TL very well. Nice choice. Cannot wait to see them with your real car. Thanks.
