Nice ride man!

Got a question, those wheels (ASPECS) are 18x8.5 right? can you post a pic of your rear wheel well? I have the 04 TL wheels on my 2nd generation and i had to trim in there so that i get NO RUBBING.

Thanks. These ASPECS I have on are actually the 18x8, not the 8.5 version. I'll have some updated photos posted once I have the car clayed again next week! so stay tuned. I think whether it will rub or not depends on your suspension. The photos you see above, I had mine setup with H&R OEs. I used to get a slight rub on harsh dips, but since then I've changed set the rear up with the stock springs. Like I said, you be the judge on how it looks and now the rubbing never occurs (IT IS the best setup combination in my opinion)

Excellent eyes! It's a little creative mod that I thought up back in the days. I had the chrome trim on since the 2nd week I purchased my car in Feb of 2000. I thought it would add more agressive/elegance onto the car... Lots of people are doing now, so I guess it does look good in general public opinions...

Sorry, to bring this back from the dead but...what are the specs of your tires you were running when you ran the A-Spec rims?

225?235?245?

I got a set with 18x8, 45/245 and am afraid they will rub

but they do sit quite flush in the rear and a touch out in the front, a quick fender roll can fix that....
