Want to buy a set of 20"s wheels for my TL-S

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2007 Blue TL Type-S with the 2 tone black and grey interior...I recently bought out the lease and feel its time to upgrade the wheels however im really not sure whether i should step it up to 20s or stay with the stock size... and most importantly im not really sure what wheel would look good on the car so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... ive been looking online and came across the Lexani R-Five wheels which look nice but dont seem to have a dish and i wanted a staggered look so as you can see im all sorts of confused on which option to go with... Thanks in advance for your suggestions and pictures!

Wheel style is up to you bud but I'd stay away from 20's, looks big and goofy on a TL. But...to each his own. It's your car

Thanks guys i def appreciate the help and suggestions... its been a while since ive shopped for wheels so im just kinda overwhelmed with all the options and the fact that the Type S has a different offset tends to make it a lil tougher as well... And yea i agree im not sure if im going to lower the car so i def dont want to make it look ghetto or goofy by any means kinda want to keep the sport look which is why i figured a five star or multi spoke wheel would look good...

+1 on the F14

Here they are in 19's on your color for reference. This isn't my car, but I have them in 18's.

Yea i like those Forgestars especially after seeing what they will look like on the car in the same gunmetal stock color...

i mean i would love to spend around 1200-1500 for rims and tires... but i can go as high as 2000 if need be but like anyone else id like to spend less and try to find a deal if possible...im not opposed to buying used either as long as the wheels are not damaged..

F14's cheapest I could find were $1360 (18"). Tires are your choice. A 19" F14 would be $1440.

It sounds like you're pretty indecisive about which wheels to get. Do your research and don't rush into anything.

Real Estate,

What condition are your rims in? I just bought an 05 and would like the S type's as an upgrade. I'm a new member so I do not think I can PM just yet...

They are in ok condition... My ex gf curb Rashed them...which is another reason why i wanted to get a new set of wheels...but at the moment I don't think I'm going to sell them just yet..was thinking about sending them to get fixed once I got a new set of wheels...

Yea I was looking at a set of Vossen wheels they are nice for sure! It's just thought cause I've been pricing out wheels and tires and everything I like tends to not work because of the brembo break system...
