J, I've been gone for a few days. I like the new shots. Sorry about the mismatch.

Ok i'll take the risk of sounding like an asshole but i think the wheels look small compared to the rest of the body of the car. I do like how flush they sit and i like the color combo but i think it looks (in this picture especially) like they are small compared to the rest of the car. I think its the size of the wheels that look small but maybe its the tires that look pretty beefy....either way it seems out of scale to me. Don't mean to hate, i'm just being honest and telling you my . In the end all that matters is that you are happy with them, i'm just sharing my thoughts.

Funnily enough I think the complete opposite - I think they're actually really well proportioned, especially considering they're only 17s

I can appreciate that although I do believe in "if you have nothing nice to say..."
Honestly, I think it's the way the lights hitting the concave part of the wheel in that shot. Sometimes they do look smaller in some pictures...although with this car, adding weight or going over 17", is a big mistake. I already did it last time and my fender paid the price.

If you think spokes look small, imagine a lipped wheel! It would look tiny!

I think they look fine. When we say rubber on the wheels we don't actually mean something the thickness of a condom...

Well once again it a preference thing. I'm not saying it fugly or cheap or ricey, just looks a bit out of proportion to my eyes. They are obviously nice wheels on a nice car. We're car guys and we share our opinions on here (usually in a nice, respectable way like i did).

BTW, What sidewall are those tires?

I think the wheels and wheel / tire size is perfect! Fits the car without being too small or too big.

Thanks boys...
Honestly, I think it's because Marco is used to seeing a bigger wheel on the TL that it would give the impression that these are too small. The spokes are very understated and the wheels are a bit darker. Zero regrets though...I am in love with how they look and fit...perfect size.

I'll say, even with the 18 inch TE that I had on the silver one...they looked great, but that's it...they looked a little big IMO...I mean, not re DONK ulous...but for the car and what it's purpose is, I knew after that 17" was the biggest I'd ever consider for the car.

Plus, I was of fender ripping.

Again, thanks for the input.
