Help! 20" axis pentas

I have a 07 WDP TL Type S. Spring is here and i would like to take my stock 17" off and put something else on. I've been searching for wheels and the one that has caught my attention has been the Axis Pentas. Can anyone help me and tell me if this wheel clears my brembos? And would you recommend getting 20"? The offset is 5x114 front and 5x120 rear. Thx.

There are two people in the blackmarket sections of the forum selling their 19" staggered penta's for like $1200 with tires.

As far as offsets, you are incorrect with those numbers. That is the bolt pattern. Our TL are 5x114 only. The other bolt pattern being a 5x120 will not fit our cars.

You can always call Axis and ask them if those wheels will fit your car. They would be able to recommend which offset would fit over our factory Brembos.

No problem! I think someone said that they ran a 5mm spacer to clear the front brembo's. I was looking at these rims also. I'm not sure though, but I'm sure a quick search would pull it up.

If this is going to be your daily make sure you're ready to run 20's on the TL. I just bought another daily driver last week so I would have to drive my TL daily. I'm on 19x8.5/19x9.5 and lowered about 2". Oh and my gas mileage is sucking with the bigger wheels. But im happy with it!

I'm gonna start looking for different wheels. Im going with 19's
I like the msr 045 black with polish lip. Do u think these would look good on my WDP? U said ur 19's give u poor gas mileage. How much worse did it get being that the type s isnt that great on gas and that's running on 17's.

You buy your rims yet? I'm considering the same set but might get them in the 19".. Curious on how they look installed. I also have the WDP but non Type-S.
