WDP on Gold Pt. II

mounted them on my tl to see how they would look. what do you guys/girls think? should i keep em or sell em and get another set of volks. the wheels look small due to the lip on the wheels but trust me, they are 18's. i'm also concerned about them being not as wide as the stock ones. i know i need to drop the car as well.

What is the width of the wheels and the offset? Doesnt stick out enough

They acutally look good but you are right, they dont look like 18's

You should get another set of volks that has less spokes, it looks cleaner on the TL. These are not bad though.

i agree with you. Although, i think they look pretty good on your car. And as you and others have stated, they really don't look like 18s.

thanks everyone for your opinions. i to am not too fond of them on my TL. they looked great on my dc5 and just wanted to see how they would look like on my TL before i sold them. i will be putting my stock wheels back on for now until i am able to get another set of volk wheels. i will probably go w/ a 5 spoke design in gunmetal or black.

i'm liking those wheels! whatever happened to the guy who got gold sf challenges? btw, im just throwin it out there but i just got 19" TE progressives for my 06 TL WDP. i'm lovin them... but not enough to just the cost. i'm thinking of selling them and getting something gunmetal instead.

anyone interested in buying a set of near-mint TE progressives?? i'll post some pics soon

This how my car looks with CE28Ns 19" x 8.5". Your 7.5" is not wide enough for our cars. Any Volk wheel will look good on your WDP.

i agree completely that they are too small. what about the design though? do you guys think they are too agressive for the tl?

i think if you slam your car and get 35 series tires it would look fine ... imo i mean there still CE28's .. and they look hot ... its just ur stock hight and your thick tire makes them look small .. not to mention the lip on the rim ...

i order a set of TE37s in the same size and i was worried about having the same problem, but i got 35 series tires and my car is slamed ... it looks good .. the thick tires make a big difference.

Looks great, I still think a set of TE-37's gold with gold lip, and the flat center caps would look the best on WDP
