no they're not. gotta love google. those fugly rims can be had for a little over $200 a piece...or you can get the wheel and tire pkg for around $1200! this is the sale price.

hard to believe any wheel company would charge $2K for those...they better be super light wt racing wheels if they're $2K!

naaa what I was trying to say in my post is that you don't see people with expensive high-end ($450/rim) rims on their cars (whether it be the TL, or any euro or jdm car) without complimenting the new wheels with a good drop.

pretty much i'm just trying to tell the OP regardless of what rims he puts on the car it's gonna look ugly until he drops it a little bit. once its dropped than it may look a little better.

but imo these rims wouldn't even look good on a dropped TL but who knows, i could be wrong

They remind me of Enkei RP05's. This is what it'll look kinda like if it was one color. BUT mine was 19" and kinda agressive. but if you slam it and put spacers and make it one color. its do-able.

I couldn't disagree more with those that have said just repaint them. I think you've got quite a failure on your hands here and need to change up rims asap. Do not make efforts to lessen the fail...simply eliminate it all together and get new wheels. In the meantime, throw your stockies back on.

Also regardless of what you do, please plan on lowering the car as well. That's a guaranteed win. So lower it and get some new wheels and you'll be much better off. Good luck!

I think OP already knows that they are an epic fail. My advice? Chalk it up as a loss and start over.

Drop your car first. You might reconsidered changing the rims after.

Ok those are just sexy


OP- Drop the car and paint them rims all black or silver or something. You can do PlastiDip so it's not permanent and see how it looks. If you like it, paint them or get them powdercoated

Instead of some knockoff brand, SMH.
