OEM bodykit or 17"Rims and tires(same value)

Well, since you said 17". I'll get OEM kit.

Ditto.

yup, unless they are 18" or more i would go for the kits. i'd only get 18 inchers or larger

but then if you get 18, it won't be the price of the kits

The place i live (Montreal)everywhere are holes.So if tires for 18"will be a little too low profile ,then rims will bend easily.

Get the kit!

BODYKIT!!!

ummm.... i think you can still be ok if you get 225/45/18 tires. you just need to be more careful, which is always the case if you have rims

I will get the rims, it will improve the handling of the car. But I would go with 18s as well. I don't see that much point going up to a 17" but I know what you are saying about all the holes and stuff

da kit yo! da kit!

can someone explain to me why 18" will improve handling? i know it could help or gain performance (depends on its weight and of course) but how could it help handling?

Definetly get the kit.......if you are gonna spend $800-$900 for rims then you are gonna end up with sum shi+ty rims

oem kit since u said 17 inch rims

Agreed. If option is only 17" rims, then get the OEM kit.

Agreed. If option is only 17" rims, then get the bodykit.

Get the kit now and save up for nice wheels.

Yup - the kit, the 17's on the car now look pretty good already

Wheels...

WHAT is this BIG fascination with the extra inch? Does it stem from lack in the penis dept??
lol j/k

But seriously --- its only a half inch top and bototm...

I would spend little more $$ to get the 18's first!!

I THINK:bigger rims=more low profile tires=tires flex less on corner

Go w/the bodykit, 17" are way too small for TL's. 18"'s even look small on TL's.

19"'s all the way baby!

ah that makes sense

true, but if you are going for performance 19" might not be the best choice

19"s is too big for our car... and you have to keep in mind that big wheel/tire conbied diameter slows down your car, as well as weight.

Now, sure 19's will in theory provide better handling, but... I think it's a bit over kill on the street.

Get the kit and then save up for the rims..

but how fast do you expect to go with a car that is around 4300 lds
deffinatly get 18's with a 40-45 series tire and jsut don drive like an a$$hole

yup, exactly why i said 18" are more suitable for our cars. btw, 4300lb?!?! what car are you talking about?

the road in quebec is very bumpy...worse than toronto...

body kit pls

how much do the 2nd generation tls weigh ... i have a first gen
