Thumbs up HPD Spinout. Pro's? Con's?

I found these rims and I really like them. I want the 20's but can't find a deal and I wanted to hear what you guys have to say. I'm still rolling on my factory 17's and can't justify a 1 inch jump, so should I go 19? Is there REALLY that much difference in the ride? Please help! Oh yeah, if you know where a set for sale is, let me know!! Thanks guys!!!

if they look like the wheels that came up on the google search, than don't do it. sorry I can't help you with your question, just wanted to say I don't like those wheels, but if you do, more power to you.

+1 those wheels are very 1998 in their styling. So many better options out there in my opinion. Then again, its your car so do what makes you happy. As for size I'd go with 19s.

Ouch!! I thought they look ok! I don't know crap about rims and brands that make rims. The rim shops here in Memphis all have 22's &up on display due to the ammount of people buying big trucks. My TL is that dark graphite color. I don't want the rims to be black and look bad and chrome will make the car look too flashy. I'll try to post a pic from my phone. Oh and I've got 5% all the way around so I wanted a rim that would compliment the whole thing.IMG_1061.JPG

They look like they belong on a SUV or something. IMO

i dont think the wheels would look good an the TL. I would look into 19's. As for makes and models for wheels. What is your price budget and what is the style of wheel you like.

My budget really hasnt been considered. I guess 2 grand or so. I dont like spoked wheels and I do see what you mean about looking like they belong on an suv. I do like the gunmetal finishes though. Also do any of you know where to get the LED replacement tail lights. (like the big body bmw's have) I've been looking everywhere for clear rtail lights abnd the only thing i can find is a "frankenstein" make of cutting and drilling etc. anybody know anything about any of this?

RonJon has a similar wheel and there are alot of people that have these wheels which can give you an idea of how it will look on the car. http://www.ronjonwheels.com/inspyre.html
Just keep throwing out wheel designs and people will chime in with similar wheels.

The inspyre are nice.

Bottom line is that it's your vehicle. Buy/Obtain whatever you like and what makes you happy.
I have black with chrome lip. Countless opinions of individuals stating they are played out. Even after listening to the hater-ism, I still did it. It's what I wanted and personally think it looks incredibly badass on my NBP (Nighthawk Black Pearl).

What color is your ride?

2 grand is a pretty decent budget. You can find lots of nice wheels for less than that. Look at theBlack Market section.

Thanks for the link Wrxy. Kevin I'm posting a pic now. And you are right its what I like. But I dont wanna buy some crappy product. You guys obviously know ur stuff. I dont want to pull away from the power and I still have a lot of warranty left so I cant go dicking with the motor for a while.
