local shop quoted $2200 wheels and tires. Not sure of tire brand and size, but definately will check before dropping the money.

wow, thats a great price on wheel and tire combo.

I would personally spend a little bit more and upgrade the tires. There's no point getting good wheels and going cheap on tires.

Besides that, I personally think the wheels look HOT!

The rims are nice but I'm not a huge fan of chrome. Although, they will most definitely look good on WDP. One more thing, it seems as if the smallest size they sell is 20s. That's a little too big for my liking. The biggest rim I would put on my TL is probably 19s.

However, the chrome on the WDP will look icey (no, not ricey) as hell which could be a good thing. You would have that, "just brushed, clean feeling."

unfortunately with the wl-11, 20" is the smallest they make. I believe they make 19" with some of their other wheels. My only concern is that if I put 20" on my car that it will look "lifted" if that makes any sense. I want to get rid of some of the wheel gap also. If I did run 19", what would be the best way to lower it and not have to worry about rubbing? thanks.

I have heard this line SO MANY times it is getting old. Add that to the FACT that you do NOT need to drop a boatload of bread on decent tires makes it all the more irritating. I got the Falken 452's which were/are some of the less expensive tires and they are GREAT! FAR better then a set of the higher cost Dunlop 9000's I had on a prio car. Better then the POS Bridgestones, etc. In other words, buy mid-teir tires and you'll be JUST FINE. No point in dropping a whole lot of cash on expensive tires (i.e. $200/tire) now is there?

not sure if they are one piece or multi-piece wheels. the owner of the shop that I go to called wheelpros and asked if they would fit on a TL-S. He was told that they would. I would take that to mean that wheelpros is aware of the brake clearance issue. I'll call wheelpros tomorrow and ask them myself. assuming I wanted 20x8.5 allaround what offset would I need to clear the brakes? what about 20x8.5 front/20x9.5rear? thanks for all the help.
