My TL-S Got New Wheels!!!!!!!! Lots of Pictures

This is my second third generation TL and my fourth set of wheels!!!!!!!
When I got my Type-S I found out how hard, it was gonna be to find a nice set of wheels!
I had been looking for some wheels that have a two-piece wheel look with a one-piece wheel price... I know you can't compare them, to some of the very expensive and nice wheels you see on this forum but for my budget I am really happy with the way they look...

Hope you guys like....

This is my first TL with first after market wheels...

I tought it was too much chrome so I got these...

Sold the car in 06 and had to wait a couple of years than I got My TL-S got new wheels right away, these were taken about 11 months ago. I like this wheels a lot, everywhere I went I got complements on them, Good thing I got them a good home with a member of this forum (just a bit longer Ray)...

I found these wheels and was told they would clear Brembos without spacers. Concept One C-10 with stainless steel chrome lips... A little bit of bling bling without over doing it...

I know, my wife feels the same way you do...LOL.
But it's been over a six year period and I at least sell my old wheel for about 50% of what I paid to help out with the cost of the new ones...

The latest set of rims you have look the best. IMO. I like the CF trim a lot, where did you get it from?

Oh yea, I definitely like where you're going with your TL. I recommend a roof spoiler. It was one of my first mods.

The meshies are my favorite. Is the lip on your current wheels hard to clean? It looks like it would be difficult to keep it polished where the spokes and lip meet.

The car looks great by the way. I like your style.

They were real nice but I wanted the polished lip... As for the cleaning part I'll let you know, just had them for about five days now, tomorrow will be the first day I wash with the new wheels!
Thanks, simple is always better IMO.

Thanks I was afraid it would look cheap, cause you are buying something online off a very small picture, but it turn out real nice in person it looks factory, kit came with like 30+ pieces I just used about half of them to keep the factory look....
