what do you guys think of HP Design wheels? These split 5's can come in a staggered setup 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. i have a WDP 04 TL or ?

for the staggered setup; i wish people would stop doing this to our FWD cars

Drvn2Modify

do u not like the look or is it because they are suppose to be for RWD cars?

Like the wheels, No on staggered. IMO.

wheels look good; they remind me a little of those SSR's but these have a much bolder spoke profile. should go well with the TL.

I also say "NO" to the staggered setup. The handling is heavily mitigated and RWD enthusiast will see you as a poser.

^^Amen to that! Let's keep it real people!

Am I the only one who thinks the wheels look miserable? Get the TSW Nogaro if you're looking for a 5 spoke wheel.

Sorry, for not being in sync with the lingo, but what does staggered mean?

Type-Superman

Staggered means different wheel sizes front and back. Typically the rears are either wider or larger in diameter, but the reason most people are opposed to this is because the TL is a FWD car, and bigger wheels in the back would be the opposite of what you want if you're looking for handling, or, as someone said above "look like a poser". I like the rims, and the stagger would look great with the car, but the fact that it's front-drive keeps nagging at me and makes me think that it looks wrong. great for impressing dumb blondes or someone who doesn't know shit about cars.

Mebee he's thinkin of puttin the wide ones on the front That ought to raise some eyebrows.

I'd go with shiny a-spec's instead of that rim...

At the end of the day, you should decide for yourself...

I personally think that a staggered set-up looks SICK on the 3G TL... the body styling was built for WIDE wheels in the REAR... IMHO....

YAH it looks great, BUT makes the car understeer. LOOKS ONLY. NOT PERFORMANCE.

triton3k

those wheels dont look that bad actually.
I do like the staggered setup on the TL as well but at the end of the day its your call.

As a former reardrive owner RX-8, This is an anomoly, I have staggered wheels and my car handles much better without ore understeer and in facs seems to have less....makes on sense according to physics but my butt tells me different. Before you say that i don't know what i am talking about, I have been trained by a former Porsche racing driver with over 40 years experience... this car now tightens in curves with more power applied...like rwd...go figure!

It must be that you have metaphysics but.

I like wheels and staggered setup. Wider ones at the front, of course. I don’t like 19’s. They are just for looks.

Since they are coming staggered it is obvious that they are meant for RWD so check offsets first. Should be 45 or very close.

I say no to the rim, it will look small with the dish, and DEF no to stagger

Staggered rims for FWD cars = the ghey

Rims yes, staggered no
I really like the whole staggered look though, but gotta keep it real

That's exactly what i'm saying, but in about 20 less sentences
