When you search this question, you get a lot of info about Nissans, but not so much about wheels. So, I was wondering if anyone has installed these rims on their TL. If so, how is the quality? Anyone have pictures?
I like the TL-S rims, but with a black car, they're too dark, in my opinion, and my ex won't give me my chrome Aspecs. Dammit! I guess they aren't really mine anymore. Sigh...
So, I'm all for finding some 18" cheapies. They're $514 shipped. Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions?
Thanks!

JB, you really get what you pay for with wheels.

I would not put those wheels on any car. just my opinion.
keep the stock wheels and send me $514.

Thanks for the reply. I'm a cheap kinda guy. I've never paid more than 600 bucks for a set of rims, and that includes a set of brand new A-specs I bought from a wholesaler four years ago. Probably set my expectations for pricing kinda high (or low...). But those rims went with my 05 TL to the ex so I'm looking around. There are some nice Konigs for 480. I don't know that price is the only way to determine quality, and some of the more expensive stuff is really gawdy. So, I'll keep looking around. Again, thanks for your viewpoint.

have you thought about having your current set painted a lighter color?

Run, far, far away.

The good thing is if you curb one, it's a $514 set of wheels.


OP, personally I never spend much on wheels either. Not looking forward to look like a baller, run oversized wheels and spend uselessly.

Cheap wheels are fine. They don't offer the same level of finish as more expensive wheels (expected) nor do they offer the same quality if you need to get them worked on due to a kink (also expected) but they offer cylindrical properties which makes it possible for you to fit rubber based compounds around them and drive around in your gasoline motor powered vehicle, on the cheap.

jspace,
I have thought about doing that. I looked at cheap (me!), which was something from plastidip, and I am still investigating something more expensive, like a full chrome job or powdercoat, but that can run what, 75 bucks a wheel? So, now you're at 300 dollars. If I spend another 220 or so, I've got two sets of wheels. And if they're good rims, I sell the waffles for what, 400 easy? So, decisions, decisions...

Bunny,
My feelings, exactly! These rims are cheap, so what can go wrong!? Right? Right!?!
They're nice in the pictures (chromy!) and bright instead of dark (shiny! ooh!), so how can I possibly lose?!
I still haven't confirmed if they'll fit over the brembos, so if they do and I like them, and I buy them, I'll post up some pics!
