Your Input on these rims/wheels

First of all, yes I understand this should be in the Tires/Wheels forum, but I'm not trying ask what or which wheels I should get. I just want some quick input as I may get this today.

I was wondering if 20s look good on a NBP TL in yalls opinion, these are the sets I think I'm getting. Basically this is gonna be my TL besides the ugly spoiler, imo. A SPEC KIT and the 20's rims and tires viscera vsc 770

Not really a fan of how "thin" the wheels look. By that, I mean, there's not much actual wheel there, especially given the size. It's nice to see the calipers and rotors but those practically show the hubs. Again, just an opinion. If you like them I'd go for it. Sounds like you're getting a good deal.

I like them and think they're beast on black (chrome with black are nice), but I don't like the 20" part, I wish this was 18" and when I get my A SPEC kit I could save up and get Tein SS or Basics. So I'm having different opnions right now and dont know. I think if I don't ultimately like these I could probably sell them for a good price in black market (hopefully )

Usually the rule of thumb is to use a penny, and stick it in upside down. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, your treads are done.

I think 19" wheels are a perfect size for the TL. I bought 18" RE-30's and tires from Tirerack for $3999.58 for my 07 TL-S back in June 07. I sold them a month later, they were not big enough, but 20" are just too big and more for show IMO.

I also HATE chrome. If the centers of the wheels were bright silver paint, I could put up with the chrome LIPS. NO THANKS IMO. SORRY BRO

I don't personally like the look, but think it's a GREAT value. I'm trying to trade my stock rims for some A-Spec rims and newer tires, and I'd freak if I could get them for that price!
