Has anyone seen the '05 18" wheels, what do you think between the "sparkle" and the "chrome" look? What about the new optional 17" wheels? Just looking for opinions before I buy new wheels for my '04 TL.

 

I think the silver looks the best but it is your car....

As far as seen the rims in person; I don't think anyone has seen the '05 wheels, since the '05 car isn't here to put them on.

 

Just picked my new '04 TL up last night, with body kit and '05 18" wheels. Rims are the same, but a little "shinier" (is that a word?) I liked the old ones, but these are a little cooler, especially with my black car. Dealer said it was the first car they did with the new rims.


I know.. show the picture... I just picked it up last night and have to sit at work all day instead of spending time with my new car. I will post them.


BTW: Sparkle is the same finish as stock 17's.
Chrome look is the new finish, that is like a grey chrome. Shinier than the old finish, but with a grey cast. They are NOT chrome, but painted.

 

Thanks for the info.!

 

 

working on it..

 

Hope I did this right...

btw: the pictures look kinda squashed on cardomain.com.. any tips?

 

ummm good looking, so r those chrome or new silver?

 

chrome

what tire size is that on those?

 

They're the new "Chrome Look" from '05 A-Spec. From straight-on they look chrome, from an angle they have a grey cast. Tires are 235/40/ZR18 Yoks

 

How much did you pay for the wheels?

 

Don't know, I had the dealer throw in Navi, the body kit with wheels and tires for $34k

They also gave me the original wheels and tires for winter.. is that pretty standard?

 

You got a great deal!!!

 

Damn that sounds like a sick deal, i got my 2004 non navi for about $30,000 then had to add the aspec body kit for $1600 so u got the kit, the navi and the wheels thats like $6,000 worth of addons sh@*... lucky SOB lol

 

and NO thats not standard for them to give u the stock wheels and tire back, damn bro, whod you have to sleep with to get that deal?

 

um, yes it is.... if you get the 18" wheels, the dealer gives you your stock 17s...

 

My bad, I was told I would get a deal if I gave up the 17's, maybe get the 18's for 1/2 or so... who knows
