Thinking about getting the Foose Speed (Black) wheels. Opinions?

So I have an '09 TL sh-awd in black and have been updating it piece by piece. Was looking at these rims and thought they'd set my baby off nice. Opinions? Better yet if anybody has a pic of these on a CBP TL that would be awesome!

Ebay link below:

Thanks guys!

They look decent, kinda like M6 replicas. But thats not the right bolt pattern in the link you provided.

You should be looking for 5x120.

I've been on a wheel search myself for my 4G. I like the machined with black look on those foose wheels. That style will look good on the black color car. I had planned on something like that originally but I am probably headed in a different styling direction. Personally I would go with a 20" wheel instead of the 19" like the ones in your link. 20" is pretty much perfect on our cars, but to each his own..... Also, the correct offset is key as you don't anything that sits inside the fender too much and looks "sunken" in. With an 8" wide wheel like those foose designed wheels I would opt for one of the lower offset options. Just my 2 cents... good luck on the search, and post up some photos when you decide

Yeah, 20" seems to be the consensus choice. Foose does make 5x120, so I think I'ma run with that. Just gotta unload these 18" OEM's now....

I have something similar to those. They are the correct bolt pattern and I have been verry happy with them. They are Avanti racing AV1. Take a look at does and tell me what do you think.

Those would look hot on the 4G, but they are way, way too expensive. $4,000??? This is a Honda right?

WHHHAAAAAAA? $4k? I havent seen them anywhere near that price. The best price I've seen thus far is around 1500. A friend of mine gets a discount on tires so figure another 800 for those, putting me at around 2300...
At 4000 I'd laugh and walk away...

$1000 per corner, only if they are Volks IMHO. Then they would be worth it. To some people 4k isn't that much money for something they would like to set their car different than the rest.

Sorry, I thought that motors.ebay price was per each. That's better, I thought Chip Foose was a little greedy but...

On a related note, anyone know approximately how much the 18" rims (with tires) that come std on the sh-awd go for used? I'd like to be able to offset the cost of the Foose's by selling my current set up. I saw a brand new set on ebay for $1500 (no tires)

I've been considering these exact same wheels (Foose speed black) for my 4g cbp sh-awd. They are available in 19x8.5 with a 5x120 pattern. They may be available in 20 as well. I would love to see them in person first...but have to check where they are available here in South FL. I do know they are matte black rather than gloss black...I tend to prefer to gloss black w/ a machined face / finish. if you do get them...please post pics. Good luck...thanks!

Neilman, you might beat me to it....Had some stuff come up so it looks like I have to put that purchase on hold for a bit, bummer.
Yeah, I'd like to see them up close as well b4 I commit or at least see them on a TL. All the pics I find thus far are on everything BUT a TL...

Ok, so it's been awhile, but I think after looking at a number of different designs that these rims will look pretty good with my CBP (and not break the bank). Looking to pull the trigger within the next couple of months at which time I'll make sure and post pics for the masses.
