Question Exel Wheel?

Anyone have any experience? They have a great looking wheel with a polished lip. Different than the SSR or Nakayama's.

Exel DL-46 Silver on Satin Silver TL 04

This is a great wheel site.

Last attempt. I imagine since there is no response that most of you think these are just cheap-as-s^%t rims...
Right?

I like those, what size are you getting? It is very hard to find wheels that will look good, I also have a silver 04tl. Good luck.

I would go with the 19 8.5.
the 18s only come 7.5 according to the web site

I want to get 18 and it's very hard to find 18 x 8 or 8.5, most are 7. I would love to get 19 but here in Wisconsin the roads are pretty bad. Do you have Auto or 6speed that is another problem, finding rims that fit the Brembos.

I have an Auto. Drove standard for 12 years. I live outside of Manhattan now and can do without standard.

The reason I like these is that they look just like the SSR but actually sit in a little bit. So they have a shiney lip on them. It's difficult to find a rim like that.

Plus they are a heck of a lot cheaper, especially since I am leasing the car.

That is what I was going to say that they look like the SSR, they are very nice rims. I always liked how SSR look. I am leasing mine too and don't want to spend too much either. I am just having a harder time finding rims for mine just because of the brembos.

Did you see the Ronjonwheels.com web site.
He is designing wheels for our cars. I like the Inspire.
Very modern looking vs the deep dish look.
I spoke to him. May look at these when they are delivered to him.
The problem with the exel is that no one carries them. Must order online only so you can't see how they may look.
What a difficult decision.. Plus ,around here there a tons of stores that sell rims.

Then there is the TSW Catalunya... Hyper Silver for the silver TL.
See what I mean, just too many.

Yes, I did see the Ronjon wheels and they do look very nice, I am wondering what the weight will be on those rims. I could definitly wait to see when they come out. As for ordering the excels, can't you ask them to send you one rim and see how they look and then if you like them send it back? I had tires.com said that I could do that and would pay about 15 bucks to send them back. I know it is a hassle, especially if you have many rim dealers unlike here that we don't have any and if we do they only carry truck rims.

I meant if you don't like them, sorry. Or if you do get the rest of them sent.
