07 Type-S rims with tires will fit on an 05... yeah?

My stock rims are quite messed up--due to an accident a couple of months ago--esp the front right one--it's bent . And these type s rims COME with great tires and so I could save myself.. is this deal a go? do you guys recommend them?

Haha this isn't for a new look or anything.. it's to salvage my bent rim and my other ones. I need new rims fast since one of them are bent; this deal on the 07's WITH tires seem great and low in price. If i wanted my car to ride with hot shoes, i wouldn't go for these, trust me lol.

So i'm asking if they fit or not. Not how they would look lol.
Since they come with the tires already, they'd fit no problem right?

Yeah, they will work OK. Been there done that.

If you can switch the TPMS sensors with regular valve stems, you'll probably be able to sell those and get some bucks back...

The fit is not a problem at all. As for a recommendation...these are not the most popular wheels, but they are a perfect fit and the tires are actually priced at about the price of these wheels and tires together, which makes them a real bargain. I have 'em on my car, and have ordered a set of replacements from TireRack because I am not thrilled with the appearance. But FUNCTIONALLY I have no complaints.

In case you were not aware of it, there are enough guys on this site who are looking to sell the OEM wheels/tires off thier '07 TLS that you might be able to negotiate a better price here on Acruazine. That eBay link you're showing seems on the higher side of what I've observed them being sold for, and there is additional markup on shipping costs on the eBay link, whereas most sellers in here will charge you EXACT shipping if you buy from them.

I suggest that you run a WTB thread in the Black Market for a day or two before bidding on the eBay set. My guess is you'll get a few hits from our members and be able to save a few bucks, and if not, there appears to ALWAYS be a set of these for sale on eBay...Just my .

hey bforbrian.. i dont know if im allowed to say this, but check CL(craigslist). i saw some 07 type s's on there locally today... dont remember the price....

orrrr. you can check the black market for my rims =)) they are for sale

personally, I think the 05 wheels looked way better than the 07 Type S wheels. I found out from the dealer today, they have ppl that can fix blemishes on rims for ~$180 all 4 wheels. I'm considering that route... maybe they can fix it and get it to match the gun metal color i wanted I also have a set of near perfect 05 wheels wrapped in Michellins sitting around not doing anything... I had my A-Spec wheels on 3 month after I got the car... anyone interested?

Are you selling the a-specs or the stocks with michellins?

Those type-s's are 1G. If i can get under a G i'll be very impressed.

Will 225's even fit our cars? and 50's a jump from the original 45 that we have on our tires.... I'd say jump on the TL-S RIms.. I think they look real nice,,.

I'm riding on the a-specs now so the stocks with michellins i'm willing to let go.... i think the michellins rides better than the rest of the tires on non-navi tls.... all of the tl w/ navi rides on the michellins

bibledriver

They will fit the car, but you will lose some contact to the ground. I think that you will gain a little height from it though. Slow the car down on accel. a bit and also turn your speedo wrong. The 215/50 is direct match 225/50 is a bit taller, 225/45 is a bit smaller (less tall).

awin

i have the 07 type-S wheels on my 04...love them...especially when i paid 500 for them with brand new michelins on it...

ililillilillilil

my 19's were less than a G
i strongly advise anyone to go custom. bigger, nicer, & cheaper
i still love the look of the 2nd gen type s wheel though, but its 17x7

ililillilillilil

i just realized those came with tires.
i was editing my last post but i just opened a jury duty summons and stepped on the reset button on my power strip in my aggravation. that just added to it.
anyway, that's a pretty good deal for you.
those rims are nice but i'm not feeling the dark finish.

ililillilillilil

those are good tires. and i do like the wheels. if you really want them then i hope you get them. good luck
