Rim size

Hello all,

Just joined these forums a couple of weeks ago and really liking some of the builds people have been putting together. I'm in the process of getting some black rims on my ILX and was wondering what size everyone has been going with? I'm thinking of getting 18", thoughts?

I like the stock wheels but have you seen the photoshop of the TL's 18 inch wheels on the ILX? It looks amazing in my opinion but not sure if they would fit.

^^ Good point. I should try and swapping my TL's wheel on the ILX and see if that would work.

The problem with photoshops though is you cant tell how big the wheel is.
When enlarging the wheels photoshop doesnt allow you to increase the size 1in at a time. Even if the wheel is an 18, if the pic its put on is smaller they will now be more like 19s or 20s. Thats why I say with my chops the wheels are just made larger, but no specific size since that is literally impossible to tell unless you say measured the mirror in real life then made a scale chart and figured how the ratio. Then youll probably find my chops have like 18.5in wheel set ups. LOL
OP that is what weather just responded too...

I suggest 18 if you want a subtle size increase or 19 if you want a more drastic look. I dont suggest over 19 because itll start to look like dubs.

Check out the individual build threads (mine for example as 18in wheels) or check out the Lounge threadI created to see a LOT of modded ILXs in one spot. Oh and Welcome!!

It should work if the new gen TL went to 5x114 and didnt stay at the 120 I think the 3g was.

Should fit perfectly fine Id say.
