Last shots of the car with these wheels on













Winter mode begins tomorrow.

 

How much will you be raising it for the winter? I wish down in Texas would get just a bit of snow, but NO NEVER!!

 

winter sucksssss..
what happened to your other retrofits?
and i'm lovin that ass shot with the WW rear.. still looking for one of those for myself

 

i think your retrofits are super hot lol nice job!

 

Looks nice
Plan on tinting the windows/

 

I raised it just 1.5", check out the pics below.

I sold my quad retrofits in Feb.
Thanks!
I actually got the WW rear in the BM, so keep you eyes peeled!

Thank you. But kudos to my retrofitter for doing an amazing job.

Nah i dont plan on tinting my windows, but if i do it will be like 50% tint.


I miss how stockies look on my ride, they fill in the wheelwell more than my 18s, my car looks lower now, even tho I raised the front a bit

 

damn, I have to take my summer wheels off now too. I have been putting it off for as long as I can but it is getting cold fast in CT. I really need to do it this weekend, hope it doesn't snow here before then

 

say i dropped my car 2.0 inches in the front and 1.75 in the rear - keeping the stock oem rims but mount 205/50/16inch tires on them instead of the 205/60/16inch oem . would that look funny? cus a thinner tire looks better. but i dont know how that would look because it wont fill the wheel well as much but then again it would be dropped.

the tires you have on ur winter oem wheels look to be 60 not 50. and it looks pretty good but with the drop, but if u were to put a 50 on there i would need some help trying to picture that. and i am also thinking that a 50 might make the car sit to low for a 2.0 inch drop. bigger rim can take a smaller tire, but a small rim with a small tire might not be alway good.
im short on cash now and i want a better look (thinking 50's with a drop) - not the 4x4 oem look.

thanks

 

Just dont opt for 50 series sidewall tires, they are generally more expensive and your speedometer is gonna be off by quite a bit. I'd stick to stock tires size with a drop.

 

VoLLy, did you sell your quad retro's to a guy in the GTA with a NBP?!?

 

I sure did (back in feb). He used to have a SSM, but he re-painted it. Did you see him recently?

 

haha what a coincidence.. i seen him back in the spring/summer time.. my tl was basically stock during that time.. when i saw it i thought he had the sickest tl in the world lol
i was tellin my buddys about it all day.. yeah thats the story lol

 

now that i think about it.. i dont remember what he had done.. it just looked like a real clean nbp, night rider look, it was the lights that blew me away though

 

Oh, im suprised he still has em, the last time i talked to him, he said he was going to take the quad retro apart and make "an Audi R8 style" headlight, whatever that means. He's just basically kitted, with retros, tint and stock type-s rims the last time i saw him.

I like my current setup better than my old one tho

 

yea i am going to refinish my stock rims and keep the oem tire size. ill just drop it with springs. thanks for ur help. ill post some pics when i do it.

 

Sounds good!

Are you painting the stock rims a diff color?

 

ah prob not, i plan on reclearing them

hear is my post https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t

its mainly scratches if have on them - it really shows up in the sun light.

but if i was to paint them i dont know what color to do - any suggestions?

thanks volly - i want ur car haha

 

gunmetal or flat black.

 

the front of you car look sweet as hell....

 

gunmetal will prob look pretty good with the gold color of my car i think. but ill have to see and i am prob leaning away from painting them but that might all change.

 

Bro you should start a retro-fit business, your headlights just looks fantastic my mans............like a whole different look.

 

Thanks

Thanks, but credit goes out to my friend who made the retros for me.

 

I love that front end. Looks so aggressive.
