this teaser thread sucks, we know the wheels, we know the specs. People have had these on their TL before I think so we know what they will look like, nothing left for imagination. Nice wheels tho, congrats

I love these wheels, but I feel like I'd never be 100% happy with them on my TL-S because out of the corner of my eye, they almost look like my boring stock wheels.

Nice choice.

And good to know they aren't replicas, too many of those things being passed around the wheel market.

Taken moments after they were mounted. Wheels still need some TLC and touchup paint etc

(cant see the concaveness in this angle)


Will give the car a wash this weekend and then a proper photoshoot

18x8.5 + 32 225 tires
18x9.8 +38 235 tires
u might want to put a 5mm spacer to make the front as aggressive as the rear

Your car was my inspiration. really.. lol yeah im thinking about a 5mm spacer as well. Those will probably go on in the spring though. Im only rocking these for another month or 2. Then ill put my stocks back on for the winter/snow.
