Detata Rallye on SSM TL-S (pics)

Ok guys this is what I want, I think tell me what you all think. Also chrome or the painted graphite pearl (closer to stock color on the non-machined part of the wheels) Thinking of the 18's wrapped in Falken 512's or is there a better opetion out there? Maybe the Dunlops or Nitto's? Pilot Sports? (but I am disgusted with Michelin over the stock tires) Blizzaks on the OEM 17's for winter a good idea? How much do the OEM wheels weigh? These are 30lbs each at 18" and if that is close to stock it would be nice, I really don't want a heavier setup. Anyway, here are the pics:





Move it if its in the wrong spot, but this place gets more action than the TL boards, and more than the wheel/tire section. and that is why I put it here.

Depending on the price, if you can get cheap why not they don't look bad. I personnally think there are a lot better looking but for a lot more $$$.

the problem with the wheel is it looks too plain and won't stand out like DAMN THAT IS ONE HOTT TL. You know what Im saying going with 18" is a nice start but go a little flashier maybe with a lip. IMHO

I'd have to see it photoshopped, but my first impression is that it's a little too busy. Too many spokes for me. Nice wheel otherwise.

They cost good money....2400 for the Chrome with 512's. Any suggestions from the gallery? What wheel and chrome/no chrome? For all this pricing, I am flirting with the idea of wrapping the stock wheels in good rubber and only switching the tires.

The stock wheels don't weigh that much, I think they are only 25/26lbs. I like the look though. Wait until someone photoshops it for you.

I may have to head there, see it photochopped to see it for real...can we just move this to save space? If not I can recreate. Still open for suggestions...I don't have photoshop and when I have used it at school, the results are horrible hehe.

For around the same price range - go for the 19X8 Axis Se7en Mod.
