Need some opinions on this wheel

Hi Guys,
I said I was not going to buy rims for my TL because I really like the Type S rims but I found a set that for whatever reason I really really like. The issue is I can't really picture them on a TL so I wanted to ask some opinions. The wheels are ADR Propulsion rims in 19".

Here is the link
http://www.ebay.com/itm/19-Hyper-Sil...item43aaeea39b

they also come in a black chrome, but I think the silver would look better than that on my KBP type S. Can anyone give me some insight on if they think it would look hideous or not on my car? Also Im a little iffy about the backspacing only being 20 but I could always get spacers.

Thanks guys!

looks like they would look pretty sick. I'd kinda like to see them in the black chrome though, might look a lil bit better than your everyday silver.

yea but youd need to run a minimum 225/35/19 tire and roll the front tabs ... rims would be flush up front but still a lil sunken in the rear

hey guys thanks for the responses... i don't know why but there is something about the rim that i just really like and the price is really not bad at all. I'll have to think about this one...

Goldenshoes here ya go...

I think I could also get these in 18s if wanted.

On a side note... would i need spacers or will i work with the 20 offset?

Thanks guys!

20 offset is really aggressive. If your not planning on rolling your fenders and whatever else is involved I'd stay away from that offset. Rims are cool though. I haven't seen them on a TL. Long as you like them go for it.

the ebay listing says 20 but I think i need to call and find out. According to the manufacturers website they don't make 20 offset, just 35 and 38... maybe the ad is incorrect. That would make a significant difference ha
