WANTED: List of Chrome multi-spoke or mesh 18's that fit 06 TL MT

I have narrowed my wheel search down to chrome 18'S in either multi-spoke or mesh. I like the TWS Londrina and Snetterton, as well as Ron Jon Inspyres. Any other chrome 18'S that fit over factory Brembo's ?? please let me know. Thanks Chris

I did some chops for someone in another thread, that said that these rims (according to TSW) fit the 6MT TL with brembos...

I called them and they only have one or two models that clear the brembos and it's not Londrina for sure.

Chris if your liking those wheels because you want a lip the TSW pix are decieving .. the deeper lip pix are on the 19s and 9" wheels .. I actually got TSW to measure them.

According to the TSW website, a LOT of models clear the brembo. That is under the assumption that them taking 6speed into account for fitment actually means it will clear them.

I went to another website where I plugged it in and the one that popped up that will clear is Willow.
I'm the guy AVS was photoshopping for (thanks again man!, you had a busy weekend!) and the Willows are the ones I think I'm going for. Great looking wheel, and hopefully will clear. I'm thinking of going with 8" front wheel with the 1.5" lip and rear the 9.5" wheel with a 3" lip. They are both 40 offset so need to make sure they will A) Clear the Brembo's B) won't require too much monster modification to fit. Considering some people on here are running 10" + wheels I don't think it will be a problem.

Yah, trying to find wheels that acutally fit a 06 6MT is frustrating to say the least, lots of sites have 6MT in their search criteria but 99% of the wheels they list wont actually fit. what a pain !

Called my local TSW authorized installer and he said he doesn't think any TSW wheels will fit an 06 MT except for maybe the NURBURGRING. Tried calling TSW and said they weren't answering, going to find out for me.

I think the TSW Willow will fit... I say that, because when I photoshopped the TSW Willow for Rockstar, I used a G35 Coupe 6MT with brembos wearing TSW Willows as the source image. G35 Coupe wheels will fit a TL (I own both a TL and a G35 Coupe) Although the rear wheels if they have aggressive offsets won't fit the TL... But these wheels look pretty tucked on the G, so I don't think the offsets are aggressive.
