I posted some photos on a previous thread but the photos did not come out very good. I just finished installing a bunch of new mods including new wheels and rotors. I love the new look but Im curious to know what others think of the new look compaired to the old look.

not felling the new rims but like the rotors

Doc's TL-S

I love the style of those rims, but I think they are too small, if they were 19" or 20" it would really set your TL off.

One more thing, WHERE ARE SHOTS OF YOUR ENGINE BAY???? I want to see pics of that polished engine plate.

I will post them soon. The weather just got nice so I will install it in the next week or so with the painted engine covers. I just wanted to make sure the snow and salt was gone for good.

The old wheels are the TSX wheels in chrome(I'm assuming).

The old wheels were 17' TSX wheels that were powder coated chrome. The car was nice but did not have that WOW factor. I really wanted to go up a size and get that polished lip. The car looks very sharp in person and gets alot more looks then it ever did before. I also like the fact that the openings are larger and you can see the brakes alot better. If any of you are looking for wheels the new stuff from American Racing is very nice. They have bought a few companies out and the 2007 catalog might surprise you.

Old rims had more pop..

I think the pictures are deciving. The car really cannot go lower. I have less then two fingers in the rear and about 2 in the front. Maybe its the angle of the photos. I liked the old wheels but the car just did not look agressive enough for my taste and they were only available in 17'. I have gotten more compliments in 1 week then I got all last year. The polished lips really look great in the sunlight.

Ahh, you picked up the RH C2's? Awesome pick...congratulations!

It should give the car a classy / expensive look. With the upcoming show season getting underway soon the Racing Hart's will get more respect from judges and spectators. I should have them on very soon and the photos will follow.

Very clean pictures. I do like your new wheels better than TSX. But due to the lots of rivets it makes your rim look smaller. Thats why most say if the rim was bigger it would of looked better. But if I am not mistaking...thos are 19'' and I am not talking about H. I personally don't like the design for RH. It just doesn't flow with the car. It is a sporty look. Don't get me wrong, even TL-S does not have enough punch to make those wheels look fast .
I don't have a type S, so I know your car is faster than mine , but thats beyond the fact that I would of stayed with wheels that you got after TSX.

Post new pics!
