What do you think?

I know it desperately needs to be lowered, but it's my Dad's car. I just sold my Eclipse, so I have these rims sitting around. Thought I would try this "styling exercise".

However, it does improving handling quite a bit. I have Pirelli P7000 Supersports on these rims. In my little test drive going on several on- and off-ramps, the tires did not complain once.

By the way, these are 18x7.5 with +42mm or +46mm offset. Tires are 225/40ZR18.

 

rims are HOT! OMG i have never seen a TL with that much wheel gap

 

Sweet Ride!

 

Nice!!! Just needs a drop, but then again, it's your father's car. What kind of Eclipse did you have? Turbo or non-turbo? Whatcha gonna get now? TL-S?!?!

 

Everything are nice except the rear bumper color.I have the same problem

 

Thanks guys.

1. No, my Dad will not let me lower his car . Yeah, maybe the next time he goes out of town, I'll lower it without him knowing

2. Actually the rear bumper color is ok. I don't know why it came out funky in the picture.

3. I still have my 2000 Eclipse GT. But all the stuff is pretty much removed. I'm going to sell it soon. If you guys are interested, it's here http://www.robert-judy.net/3g

4. I now have a WRX wagon. Only mod on it is a short throw shifter. But that should change in the not so distant future. We actually seriously thought about the TL-S, and actually test drove it. But the wife still feels better about getting MDX. That should be coming next month.

 

I have a white TLS, and don't really think those rims look very good on that, but it's my opinion.
Speaking of opinion , I don't like the spoiler on the Eclipse much, either, even though it fits it better than any other spoiler, especially the bookshelf ones. Is that tailpipe a different color??

 

I agree that the spoiler under normal circumstances would look better on a Boeing but on his car it actually matches pretty ok
