Hmmmm not sure what I think. I think 20s with your ride height looks decent but I don't like the actual design of the wheel

Coming from experience.... to pul off 20's with an eibach kit, you need to do 225/35/20 in the front & get some koni yellows to give you a 1/2 more drop, just in the front.

Your def going in the right direction though

hmmmm i think 20s can be done nicely on a TL but i think they have to be aggressive and the car needs to be lower

I like it, maybe the additional drop will make it better, but look good as is. Pretty damn big wheels, ah? How's the ride?

Looks good, the style of the wheel makes them not look so "in your face" like allot of 20s do.

I like the wheel design...if they were 19's with a tasteful drop, I'd be in love...I originally wanted 20s, but I think they're a bit much...car looks good tho
