Summer rims, just mounted them for an event.
I'm going to refinish them in a few days.

digging the wheels from last two pics

I'm getting them refinished right now, so my spring rims are back on lol.
Couldn't wait to see how they'd look mounted. I'll need more drop after I get my TE37's back.


Thanks.

Are you from Van-City by any chance?
I know a family with the same name.

Teaser
 

Here's a few teasers.
Just got them back for the shop, some progress pics.

Can you make out what the small print says?

Some help for aging eyes.

Attachment 61374

3 stage Black Chrome.

Attachment 61375

Not sure if I want to replace the decals, I know they're authentic...
Maybe it will keep thieves away. Lol
Still too many "Knock offs" with decals. 😆

Just waiting on tires.
Can't wait to mount them, & see them in natural light.

Damn that finish is clean! Can't wait to see them on that SSM paint :thumbsup:

specs?

Yeah I'm happy with the outcome, so stoked to get them mounted.
Can't wait!

I have a set of white TE's currently on my silver TL. would love to eventually recondition them to anthracite or a gunmetal like yours!!

Mine were gunmetal/anthracite from factory, they made my TL look more sporty like my spring rims do. I decided on the black chrome finish to get a more classy/exe feel to the look.
I'm happy with the outcome for sure.
Pics of your TL?
I love seeing other SSM TL's.

oops, I did read that yours were black chrome. they are cool!

I have a 3G and my silver is ASM.
my TE's are a little more aggressive than yours (okay, a LOT more)

if you dont mind me posting a pic...

Looks great!!!
I like the concave look for the next gen TE's, mine are nearly 11 years old according to the decal.
I'll just say my rims are period correct... Lol

^LOL!

I think mine were made in 2008. I still have the stickers on the barrel showing born date

also, the first thing i did was tear off the decal on the spokes! so ugly. lol

Update, tires are just over a week away...:yuck:

Looks like ours are both "period correct". Lol
What offset are your rims if you don't mind me asking?

18x9.5 +22 all around.

what tires did you get?
i have a 4 year old all season on my TEs now, but would want to upgrade to a summer set

22!?!? Any fender mods to make them work, & how much drop?

BF Goodrich Comp 2's
Based on Reviews,word of mouth, & price, they were the 1's for me.
There's a promotion until May 29th on BF Goodrich too.

LOL!
the TE's came off an Evo. my buddy bought them for his STi, but didnt realize that they were different bolt patterns...

lucky for me, they fit my TL perfectly!

also, when i installed coilovers, i wanted to be cool and be low....so I DID have to roll my fenders a bit...a little bacon wavy fenders but it's just a car...

but now, I'm realizing that it sucks to drive low and every weekend, i raise the car up a bit.

remember, the 3G has a little bit more aggressive stance than the 2G.

but yes, i did roll fenders to accommodate being low, but now that im near stock height, I didnt really need too

i took these on Sunday Morning.

you can kinda see my bacon wavy fender and the tiny bit that I raised it up

Wow loving the white wheels! I am considering putting white wheels on my white TL... I am really digging the way it looks on yours a lot.

Really had to zoom in and squint to see the "bacon wavy" fenders. I think it's a case of you knowing it's there, so you see it more readily.

+1 for the pic with the water slide in the background.

They look sweet on your 3rd Gen. The gap isn't that bad either.
You have any pics with your car slammed?
There's no way your rims would work on my 2nd gen without major mods. Lol
I wanted concave TE's but couldn't find the right offset.
Lucky for you that STI is 5x100!:thumbsup:

A few cell pics, before I pull out the real camera. Lol

Someone sideswiped me on this fender yesterday, hit & run. Not too bad tho.
Choked, but it didn't touch the rim.

puddle lights look awesome!

and I cant even tell some one side swiped you

Took me about 3-4 hours to wire them up. Lots of measuring, & mock up.
Thanks man!

That's a before pic... lol

holy crap, im afraid to see after.

Attachment 60916
Not too bad, but annoying as hell.It goes a bit further too.
Just trying to get her ready for the summer meets.
Going to get my estimate today after work.

looks like my bacon wavy fenders! lol

yeah, not bad at all. Glad you are safe and car isnt too beat up

It happened while I was parked luckily, I would've freakedfreaked out if I was in my car. Lol
Thanks bro!

Dang that sucks bro! I like those te37 on our 2nd gens. Makes them look more sporty. Still looking good though even after the incident man!

Thanks for the love bro!
Got the car back from the shop, it's looking good again.
I need to shoot a few updates after I get my fenders rolled.

in for pics!
