I've been saving up and looking for some 19's, but a fellow member gave me an offer on some 18x7 SSR GPO Evolutions 3-piece wheels w/ +49 offset and decent Nitto tires that I couldn't refuse (Thanks Kevin). Gottem on today and love them. No rubbing. Next up: Bodykit. Here're some pics:






I also debadged my TL for a cleaner look.

Whatcha guys think?

I almost bought those wheels, but the wife said "no!" I haven't told her I am ordering some next week.

Looks GREAT. I am VERY jealous! Get the kit and you're good to go!

 

Alright Vince!!! Finally got them!
Looks great! Just like mine with center caps!

Looks great. Who makes the rear wing?

 

Thanks Steve. It took me almost a year to get some decent rims.

It's the Wings West lip spoiler I got from right here on this site. Check it out.

It looks clean as is ... it doesn't need a kit ... keep the car suttle...

 

nice nice

you could get by without a kit. it'll be pretty damn low with one

 

That's what I say. Love the 2nd pic - no kit needed. Another member of the Kit Free club

 

I say get a kit Vincent, it'll match your M3 mirrors better... flowy lines and all.


Oh yeah and now that you've got low profile 18"s keep a close eye on the inner tread on your rears. If they wear a lot faster than the rest of the tire, we've got the same issues.

Mine are fine for most of the tire, then the inner 10% is a little more worn and the inner 3% is worn like crazy, its starting to eat into the sidewall.

Lemme know, man. We'll both have to get camber correction kits if so.

looks phat. with the kit it will look phat X 2. kit makes a big diff for our car folks. i decided on tl after i saw this on with the kit on it. i prefer factory kit with ww rear spoiler, but currently i have fact spoiler.

 

SUPER CLEAN!! Definitely don't need a kit. That's one of the smoothest TL's I seen w/o one. Don't waste your money. Beautiful car.

 

kit or no kit, that car is "so fresh, so clean"

 

Your wife hasn't told you that she is building you your own personal doghouse, huh?

I was thinking the same thing! For some reason your car looks great without a kit.

 

looks great! I'd say no kit, it'd be pretty damn low.
