YES I KNOW I NEED SPRINGS and they are on the way...right Tim? Along with my intake and soon to add exhaust.

Question

Hey Arn, How long did it take for you to get the wheels once you ordered them?
Oh, and they are 45 offset right? I ordered springs from Tim and rims should be coming shortly. I cant decide between the heidfelds or the trantrums.

Question

Konig Tantrums would look hot on a TL!! Isnt there a guy in the Gallery that has Tantrums or rims similar to them on his TL? Also do you know if Eibach has come out with a set of springs lately? Cause I went to order springs at the end in the end of Augest and I was informed by the shop that they discontinued the set due to low demand?

I KNEW IT WAS YOU!!! I saw your car today at around 9 oclock in garden city. We were on our way to the gym and you were in the far right lane by the movie theatres off post avenue. We were in my friends 90 legend and you probably saw us staring at your car. IT LOOKS HOT!!!!!!!!! My cousin pointed it out to me and I thought it was you because you ahve the silver TL with red calipers and spoiler. It looks really nice. Good choice on rims.

Hey Arn,

After you drop your car, can you let me know if there is any rubbing? Thanks!

Thanks. Keep me updated on your wheels ok? I'm seriously considering them once I aggregate enough money for rims, tires and springs. Thinks like how the finish holds up and how they handle would be cool.

Your car looks very pimp thought I agree it needs to be dropped. But the 18s are definitely an improvement.

Oh yeah, is there a reason you decided on 225 instead of 215s? Nothing against Yokos, I have Yokos too and they are terrific but I was just curious.
