Just the price ithink is too high...I see people get decent rims all the time for 350-500 with tires.

If Im paying 720 for that might as well just get the rest for Aspecs

I was expecting horrible looking wheels when I clicked on this and to my surprise they aren't bad but for that money you could get a similar wheel with better specs and probably made a bit stronger.

Couple of things come to mind .. well a few ..

1) Will the center bore fit?
2) Why were they refinished .. were they damaged?
3) I don't like any wheel where the knee of the spoke stick out past the lip if the rim.
4) Will the bolt hole diameter be ok?
5) I wouldn't buy anything form someone who can't even spell or proof read.

He asked for opinions so I gave him mine.

And you will not find decent wheels and tires for $350-500.... tires alone cost at least $350.

juss saying don't rush into buying wheels. Its not something cheap you can just "throw away" if you don't like, you're stuck until you resell and you'll be lucky if you even make your money back.

I'm sure you're excited bout modding the TL and making it look fresh and different, but jumping at the 1st "good" deal is not always best. Shop around a little more and find what you like and don't like.. then decide from there

and im not hating.. just trying to help lol
