Newest modification.. (new pics 08-11-06)
Okay so some of you know I ran into a couple of flats this weekend. This caused me to search out some new tires for my TL-s Wheels.... Here are my results:
Where I was:
What I went to:
Where I sit today:
Another shot because the one above looks like I have a flat yeah I know, but I dont!
I was a fan of the 04 wheels on a 2nd generation. But in all honesty the TL-s wheels do look alot better!!!!!
I actually had plans to custom paint the interior part of the wheel.. but I think I may just leave well enough alone. 
Yes Siiir!

Great choice.
I've been contemplating whether to change from the stock TL-S wheels to a set of 19s, since it's pissing me off to see the 07 model Accord. But then everytime I see my car being driven (by my wife coming to pick me up afterwork) my eyes are glued to how good it look on the car.
Again, great choice.

The set(s) (Yes I have anothert set) were put together over a period of time. I will have to swap them out if this is the case.

Your TL looks similar to my 2003, as I still have the mud flaps (splash guards) on because the paint is grooved underneath (I'm planning on painting the flaps real soon). I have the stock TL-S wheels and the M5 lip too
I'd like to see a close-up on the back with TL-S wheels, as you wrote that you're running "ContiProContact 235/45 R17" tires on them, and you don't rub in the back because "I just trimmed the part that sticks out along with maybe an 1/8th of an inch more. "
Thanks for taking the time for the pics and representing SSM!

Here are the pics of the rear trimming...
Yeah I know my wheel wells are dirty.. that is from the tire shine spinning off I think..
The passenger side rear...
My flaps are being removed in the morning, along with a few other minor updates/changes!!!
Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the pics. Those are 235/45 R17s, right? I like the width and the way they tuck in on the stock TL-S rims, but I think with my H&R drop I'd rub (the gap in the rear is about 1 finger), even with the tabs shaved.
There were some early threads about paint damage under the flaps. Hopefully there isn't any on yours!

Yeah.. mainly because the SSM kit doesnt exist anymore (because its soo damn SEXY) so Black looks the best until it can get repainted.

Me (TL), NASTYRLey(RL) and his brother(Legend on 20's) did a photo shoot this weekend. I will post the pics later on tonight when I get home.
I'll keep ya posted!
