*1st pics* New wheels and drop

I finally got my new TIS 07's after waiting five months. But I think it was worth the wait. I put the drop and wheels on this weekend tell me what you think. I know that many of you dont like 20's on TL's but I think they look great. My next purchase will be the oem kit and then I will probably stop there.... maybe.

Sorry pics are so big.

hm.. w/ those rims you can't tell the car is dropped by looking at the height off the ground.. although it is noticable in the wheel gap(which there is none.)...


just an observation..



nice TL btw. let us know when you get the kit.!



btw - what are you dropped on?

I have not had much rubbing at all, although I have not had a full back seat yet. I did have two friends in the car with one in the back and had no problems. If it does become a problem I will just roll the fenders.

those kinda look like chromed //M3 wheels.
I hear that alot.

Dropzone struts and coilovers.

Dude those wheels are HOT! If you gotta roll the fenders its worth it to get the bigger wheels. I love 20's on our cars.

nothing at all wrong with bling on Acuras.
maybe a problem if it was a civic or something else but Acuras deserve BLING.

damn those actually look pretty damn good! You should lower the car maybe like .5" more though, it would look better and all you'd have to do to avoid rubbing is roll the fenders!

I would also keep it kit-less... it looks classier!

A kit will make the car look sportier, and that would not fit the classy look of the chrome wheels IMO.

anyways, good job!

KEEP it KITLESS!! i keep my S kitless and im on dubs too bro, trust me, it just looks classier without a kit if u got chrome dubs, otherwise it would sorta clash.

imo, its only worth getn tha kit if ur SLAMMED to tha ground, which usually cannot be done with a TL on dubs, unless its on air and/or has had a LOT of other body modifications done to it ($$$)
