New RJ wheels on the whip

first off, thanks to taurus5 for a great sale! they're 18x8 with 52 offset wrapped in Kuhmo Ecsta ASX 235/40/18. i am amazed on how light these wheels are. slight increase in MPG and acceleration is faster. i waited quite a while for something decent to pop up in the market and i stumbled upon these.

Looks good. Get some different tires so you can go lower again.

Looks like you have a very dark tint and I really like how the black taped molding looks. Pretty nice setup

i did it myself. you have to take off the door panels and the rear panels. then cut the rivets that hold onto the wood trims, then sand and paint.

they're actually bigger in person. but yeah, they do appear to be small in the pictures. and that's comptech exhaust. might've gotten the exhaust for the TL? not sure, because i bought it off another member.

Looks really good. Love the stealth blacked-out look. And black w/ polish is the only way to go IMO.

Tein S-Tech's are for a "Stylish drop" They only drop like 1.7", and they're springs.

Tein Super Street's are coilovers. They let you drop or raise a car to any height, basically. Also let you control dampening.
