2004 TL and Volk Racing Progressive wheels?

Does anyone know if these wheels will fit on the 2004 TL 5/AT?
Sorry, but I don't know a lot about fitment sizes and offsets,
so some help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

5x114.3 bolt pattern fit ours.. i think offset between 35/40 will work for our cars.

When did Volk start stealing designs from other companies? These look exactly like the newer AMG wheels, but without the studs...

You can get the same style by ASA, available through the Tire Rack. http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Displ...2FMachined+Lip They have fitments for the TL.

These wheels are super, super light and extremely strong...also really expensive. I think that these are a little too sporty for the TL

They look somewhat similar but split spokes have been out for years. If you look at the tons of knock-offs available, VOlk is one of the most imitated companies out there.

5x114.3 is correct, and depending on the wheel, offsets from 30-48 will work. the more offset the more tire/rim under the well (or pushed inward more). it's a game of wheel diameter, offset, rim design, and tire chosen.

i prefer more tire under the well, looks better IMHO. i also don't like the very large rims with no sidewall (you know, the ones that look like they are riding on the rim). i prefer the sweet-spot of balance between rim and tire size.

i went with 18x8x45mm with 245/40/18 tires. i think you can squeeze 255's under the well, but i played it safe.

my rim choice was OZ Superleggera with Falken ST115's (they get mounted tomorrow if the dealer can get the key out of my ignition, key is right now stuck in the ignition).

btw, these OZ rims clear the calipers by plenty (non-brembo).
