Arrow Nice Dubs!

I found some nice 20" wheels that will fit our car. It's Dronell Type BR three piece forged wheel, 20x7.5 +46offset or 20x8 +53offset! with some right tires I'm sure it'll fit our TL's! Anyone volunteer to try it out?

You can check out http://www.aktusa.com/wheels/wheels.html for more details!

TIGHT!!! I love those Brabus style wheels!!! But damn, they only come in 20s? No 19s? Sorry, 20s arent really practical.... besides, who makes 235/35/20? or 235/30/20? I really love this design though, hope they come in 19s later on.......

HAHA! no thanks! I made you another tempting offer in the off-topic forum, check it out!

I would think with that high of an offset, 245/35/20 might even fit!

ima find out 2 mrrw how much those cost. i bet since they are 3 piece they will b high as hell! hate damn 3 piece wheels, the price neway. i dnt think 20-z would look good on a 2nd gen. i have a 1st gen so i would do it but if they arent 2 high i will order those asap. i have been waitn 4 ever 4 a 20''wheel with that offset.
thanx
thanx
thanx
btw... i have test fit a couple different 20-s on ma car they fit and roll fine just the only rims that fit are like 6 damn thousand.

Great, let us know how it turns out! I'm sure it'll be like 800+ per rim though, only if I had the money

hey great find! i've always loved the brabus monoblock III design and have only found the crescendo refines by wise sports. it would have been a grip to import them here, but at least dronells are available in the US. plus there is fitment for our cars.

i'll check on the pricing too...i might be that volunteer!

Some cars only look good with chrome. Would silver wheels look better than chrome on your Gold?

the $4500 was an estimate he gave me...since i'm still aways from even considering wheels, i didn't get an exact qoute from my friend.

btw, the av3's might be discontinued since they are a couple of years old.

i'm not a fan of chrome myself, but do you think the aegean blue pearl tl-s can pull off the look of the dronell br wheels?
