wheels recommendation!

I want to get a set of 17 x 7.5 wheels for my TypeS. Any suggestions? And what offset should the rims be?? Thanks!

Personally I would step up to 18" and go with Lowenhart BR5!

7.5" wheels will require a minimum offset of +45, but if you can find a higher offset (+48 or greater) that would be even better. Good luck!

Why 17's? Anything smaller than 18's just does'nt look right IMO.

I DEFINITELY agree...if you're gonna go 17's, I'd stay with the stock wheels, I think they look great to be 17's. Aftermarket 17's on your car would look too small, just go ahead and get some 19's, or if you must, 18's would be ok too!!

The stock TLS 17's look great in my opinion.

I totally agree. The stock wheels would look much better with more aggressive rubber on them, though. I get many compliments on mine, after it being lowered, and people telling me NOT to get new wheels. But, if I did, I think they would be 19 or 20's.
