Like that manual/navi combo you have there. Wheel size I don't like.

I love them. What's not to like? Enkei makes nice wheels! They are 17x8. Factory wheel size is 17" and they were ugly. I HATE big wheels and once this car is lowered it will be perfect for MY taste. Thanks!

Not bad. The wheels oddly appear smaller in diameter than the stock alloys that you removed, but it's probably due to the design. Perhaps adding some wheel spacers or dropping the height of the car may bring on more desirable results. Love the color of the car!

You should of at least went, plus 1. 18's with lower profile tires, looks better lowered (the coilovers). IMO

I agree about them looking even smaller than the stockers. But as with everything* else, as long as you like it!

The stock wheels are also made by Enkei.

Love the color/6MT.

I'm glad that everyone would have liked to have seen 18"+ but again I DO NOT LIKE LARGER WHEELS UNLESS IT'S ON A TRUCK OR A HUGE CAR. A TL with 17" wheels and lowered the right amount sits fine in my book. I like the wheels they look way better then any stock TL wheel IMO and I'm happy with them. Thanks for the opinions. Coilovers should be here any day now..

If you wanted enkeis I would have just left the stockies on. Or atleast gone up an inch and got 18's. Not feeling aftermarket 17s on the car =/

Aside from the wheels, I hate to sound like a broken record, but an Aspec Kit-especially on your color TL, would be awesome.
