Check Out These Wheels...

i found them at pep boys. They are dirt cheap, under $90. Will they fit on the TL? I dont know much about wheels but you kind of look cool for the price. Do you guys like them?

they're not *BlIng* enough, and you shouldnt buy the wheels just because of the big bargain; you wouldnt know what harm it would create to your tl.

a wheel as cheap as that would probably buckle driving over a pothole...

from experience, sometimes, the cheaper ones are the ones that are sturdier...
i am currently trying the forged route. this is why i got the SSRs.

as far as the wheel pictured above, the comments about the bolt pattern is correct. the TL needs a 5x114.3. the boxes show that the wheels only have 4 holes. even if it was the right bolt pattern, i also think that the wheel is not wide enough...

You absolutely DO get what you pay for w/ wheels -- especially at PEPBOYS!!!

Don't waste your money -- I agree, they are too narrow .. you need minimum 8" wide rims. Plus, I dunno. they dn't look that nice.
