Exact type OEM rims from China?
Buying replica rims for 06 tl. These rims are exact specs as 07 tl rims. Does anyone think these type rims from china will break down and not be fully sealed with tire mounted on, such as leaking air constantly?
Anyone have experience in getting exact match of oem rims?
Thanks.

So i decided to go with Enkei falcons hyper silver polish instead of Chinese exact oem stock 07 rims in a size 17.

Like the look of 2011 tl rims such as these but don't think they come in size 17's.

These 2010 TL rims look a bit like the falcons not exactly but pretty close don't you think?

You are correct.
I think if your going to buy new wheels you should go bigger but I understand that the price of tires is high too if your on a budget.

Thanks but already have some Runway tires on the car 235/45/17 and new winters will be on stock OEM rims for the 06 TL.
Only finding hard to get rims for 17" for my TL that i like. Not crazy about the enkei falcons but they are bit different hope my TPMS works on the rims i'm about to buy. Looking at about over $1100 installed, delivered and new TPMS with taxes. Don't need to go up a size if 17" works for the 06 TL. May look a bit better with larger rims but it's only a inch...
