TL wheels

has anyone put any of those deep steelies on their 3G TL? For example the "pro comp steel wheels" I've seen those type of wheels on other cars and it looks good but I'm wondering how they would look on ours

if you have the regular puny brakes, I wouldn't see why not?
also, those wheels will make the TL look like a homeless bum

dont make your TL look like a homeless bum

Wouldn't fit on my car even if I wanted to try (which I most certainly do not), mine has the Brembo brakes.

Question: Why would you want to ruin the handling dynamics of your car and put heavy steel wheels on it? Seems rather counter productive.

I have brembos, I wanted to know because I don't have winter wheels, I don't even have the stock ones at that and I came across those cheap ones that's why I was asking

yeah, i dont think they will fit on Brembos.
why not just do what millions of other people do that dont have two sets...swap tires when you need to?

It is highly unlikely you'll be able to find a set of 17" steelies which will clear your brakes. In fact, only a small subset of alloy wheels which fit the base TL will clear the Brembos.

Steelies will not fit unless you have a custom set made, but why? Find some 17x7 with a good offset to clear the calipers. I had to sell my steelies with winter tires for this reason, couldn't fit over the calipers.
