More low + New Wheels = New Stance

Just picked up a second set of wheels for the TL. I was looking around on CL and got a crazy deal on them. I personally like my other wheels better but decided to change it up for this summer and will run these as winter wheels. Next summer I will order 2 new 19x9.5 Jlines for the rear and run staggered. All C and C welcome. Coilovers are pretty much maxed out, 2 threads left front and rear. Heres some shots after the install and alignment.

What a great looking 99-01 TL. The 02-03 brake lights and grill oh and def the wheels set it off great. Why spend money on 2 more rims. Having the ability to rotate your tires goes a long way in your pocket.

Thanks for the comments bro. I like the staggered flush look and have a second car so the TL pretty much sits in the garage unless it's sunny out, (I live in Seattle so the sun isn't out often!..LOL!) so my rear tires will last quite a while.

Looks excellent as always DONZ. You're certainly the best rep for MBP
Nice choice on mixing it up for the summer. I like how bold those wheels look and how well they fit. Fantastic my good man.

Don't worry I'm not getting rid of the Jlines... It'll look even better once I run staggered.

Thanks Bro! I don't know if mine is the best MBP... I'm just trying to keep it simple. Change is good... The new wheels are growing on me a little bit... I love the lip and fitment.

Thanks bro, the wheels are growing on me a little more everyday... I just love seeing them flush with my fenders! It took alot of fender work to not have it rub at all... but it was well worth it!

Thanks bro! Me too.. but I think these will make some good winter wheels. The Jlines will be back on again next summer but will be staggered, I'm thinking of running a 9.5 or 10 in the rear and flushing them out all around. I just have to order them and wait... and thanks again bro

Thanks bro. I've always been a fan of mesh wheels myself, thats why I got these. I may buy two more 9.5" wheels to run staggered on this set as well since I got such a good deal on them Gotta love Craigslist!
