Yeah why downgrade the look ofthe car with aftermarket wheels? Put the oem's back on. I always think it's funny when peoPle buy different wheels which actually make the car look worse lol. Either way I have seen much worse than those on this forum. Wheels are an easy fix.

LMAO I was gonna put the Same thing!!! Ha hA.
Yeah Bro no Offense BUT!!! I would really consider returning those rims and buying new ones
Edit: Looking at them again, I really think its the Paint Job that makes em look really bad. If U cant return them try Repainting them the Type S wheel Color.

OP, what size tire are you running; your wheel gap looks massive and that ain't helping the looks of anything.
And why does your car look like it's sagging in the back?

Hammy, by now, you might get the idea that the general consensus is to change out the wheels. I kind of like the idea of painting the wheels before you cast them off....

i know right?
it's funny when a OP posts something asking for opinions and when everyone starts to flame the OP never returns or replies to any questions ha. or maybe he's busy and hasn't had the time to come back
but either way, what were you thinking?? those rims are ugly when not mounted to the car, even uglier when mounted to your TL.
i say sell those wheels and buy some coilovers.
put on coilovers and your stockies. that will look much much cleaner than those wheels.
no car looks good without a drop anyways. to pull rims off, you gotta be dropped. you don't see people going around 4x4 status with $2000/set of rims
