I'm all about black & chrome too, but I'm not a big fan of "cheese hole" rims on our TL's. (well, you did ask)

But that bud you posted earlier - now that's sweet !

shyne, I think you just need better photoshop skills. Those are nice rims, but I'm not into chrome. Let someone else that knows photoshop do the work.

If it isn't what you expected, then do get them. You'll only be disappointed. If you do get them, I got a pound of chedda that needs to be grated.

You wanted an honest opinion, so here it is. Those rims SUCK.

You even say "I photoshopped them on my car and it doesnt look as good as I expected"....That alone should tell you NOT to get them. Buy the ones that you can find that DO look as good as you expect.

shane, The guy your looking to buy them from is a great guy, I saw thoughs rims on his car with the wings west kit, looked very good. If he is will to cut you a good deal on thoughs rims I say go for it. I got his aem intake from him. smooth transaction. If your concered ask him to meet you at racing zone, they could put them on for you so you can see how they look. you could take a digital photo and then ask agian with a real photo. I think you will be very happy with them when you see them on your car. if not then just thank him for the time and look for something else. I would look at getting them but my bank account is very tight.

I think these might look good on a TL. They're similar to the BSD but better looking ...... more clean.

guys your sugestions are great, but he is looking at some used rims and I think these have lots of potential. slamming the rims and telling him about other expensive rims that he would need to pay full price for isn't helping. I think if someone could help him and do a better photo shop job for him it could help.

just quite haiting we are all after the true pursuit of happyness and bad a$$ cars

Oh man those dronells are one of my favorites....oh man i love the design of those wheels.

I looked at them, but didn't think it quite fit the look of the TL, otherwise i would have gotten them. Now, on an NSX or a RX-7 or something like that......HHOTTT.

MAN i love dem dronells. mmm, mmm, mmmmm!

truely i could get these rims used, but in new new condition...2500$ for a set of lowenharts 19X8 is a killer deal...i just think they are too much for my car, i dont know...they are raw ass rims, but they would look hotter on an escalade or a big body benz...not a 3.2L v6...i probably couldnt beat a civic with those bad boyz on too...not to mention, i got this guy making me feel bad because im having second thoughts after i photoshopped them...im supposedly passing up the deal of the century...Shyne

Hey, it might be the deal of the century, but if the wheels don't fit the car, then it's just not that great of a deal. Find exactly what you like, even if it does cost a little more, you'll be happier in the end!!

Hey JL, the wheels does fit. It fits perfectly on a TL. He just think the rims are too flossy for the car. those rims belong on a Jag or some bigger. But if i had the money. i buy those rite away. I love any lowernhart.
