Rx8's wheel's on TLS

Well due to my supplier Running out of tires I ordered for the Stock 17"s the tires i had on them.. decided they didn't want to hold air for more then 4 hrs.. So i Threw my old Protege speed on 4 jack stand and took off the rx8 wheels.. Because my wife needs her car to drive to work... AT the same time its winter so i took off the lip kit.. As within next week car will get a bunch of goodies I have been putting to the side.. hope fully tires for the stock wheels get here so we can get threw winter and in spring throw on the 19's...

Anyways i took a quick pic on the phone.. nothing crazy... maybe some one will like it.. i personally think if your on lowering springs.. a bigger profile tire might make it look better...

Car lowerd on : Comptech springs
Wheels: rx8 18x8
Tire:215-35-18

no they don't fills in pretty good .. Strange she said same thing she likes them more then her stocks... its just the profile and wheel gap gets me ... I have F&F coils ill be putting on next week but i prefer her driving on the stock wheels with a decent profile.. At least for winter...

Then I can throw these on :

don't do 19s, slam it on 18s

the MSP looks fire. the RX-8 rims really set it off.

I'd either get some nice forged 18s or OEM acura rims (04-05 tsx?) for the TL. those seem to be the best bets

I love the tsx rims haha. no one around me has a modified TL, and no one has tsx rims on theirs.

I'd love them for winter wheels. I really wish I could find some sick buddy clubs for my ride, but they're so hard to find a good set at a decent price

haha hopefully it does emulate josh's ride.

it takes a very distinct pair of 19s to pull it off on the 2G. imo, just raises the car too much.

you picked a good rim. best of luck!

those 19" low pro's make the TL so slammable.. you still have a big gap to fill and once you do fill them.. you'll be on the floor. i think it looks nice when slammed
