The wheels remind me of a checkered flag!
Now all you need is some real brakes on that thing~

Dude, washing and waxing has nothing to do with what is wrong with that image...the wheels just don't fit the car...period! You are better off washng and waxing with the OEM ones on! I mean, one or two people here who just want to be "supportive and/or politically correct" will tell you they are good or to do what you want to do since it's your car, but the overwhelming opinion that you asked for, and are getting, says take them off!!

Now you just have to find a way to accept that public opinion you asked for...

hey man... if you like them, then... uh... cool i guess...

im about public perception... dont get me wrong i do what i want regardless (i just happen to have a lot of people follow/like what i do) - so those would def be a no go for me... they remind me of Paul Walls mouth...

but anyway man... good luck!

Dude and u wonder why people are hating. I dont like the wheels. But more power to you if when u park and walk away u look back 3 times and are like damn thats my baby, cause i do it all the time and not everyone likes my car here so if u like than keep it.

what are the specs on the wheels?

Yeah. I mean, do you like them? If that's the case, then sweet! I love the way my car looks, but that same feeling isn't exactly the same for everyone on AZ. It's all about what floats your boat. I once (a couple days ago) had my grill compared to a refrigerator! I haven't heard anything like that yet for your ride. Keep on doin' whatcha do if it's what you like.

It’s not what you look like, when you’re doin' what you’re doin'.

i agree with slammed.. if you look back and say "wow" everytime you get out of your ride then who cares what others think... i can't ever stop looking at mine and plenty of people don't like the inspyres...

I'll reserve judgement until seeing them in person, I think they could go either way. Regardless, I dont think they look as bad as some wheels such as all chrome rims...

If you like the way they look, do your thing. But it's another thing to post a pic and look for a public opinion and then state that people are "hating" on your car when the general concensus is that they dont look too hot at all by many. Your going to get positive remarks and negative remarks, just dont take the negatives as haters.

Here I have to AGREE 100%. Good style wheels look OK in Chrome. BUT IMO 98% of ALL CHROME wheels look worse then these wheels.
They just don't match your TL.
And YES, they belong on a Chrysler 300M or Charger
