yup. didnt really know that much about them until i took it to the dealership to see how much they would give me for a trade in. He told me how he has only seen like two other TLs with those rims. I looked them up and they were about $268 a wheel.

I've only seen them on one other TL on Acurazine but I forgot who it was


and thank you 03tLsNBP!
I'm not good with a camera at all, especially the one i used. its so sensitive

wow did not even notice that they were chrome versions of the 16in stockies!

they obviously were from the gaudy late 90s early 00s but at least they were meant for the car :-)

I'd say if it was dropped it'd look a hell of a lot better...

and you might want to saber convert, but if you plan on keeping those rims I don't see where you are going to find some H centercaps in chrome unless you get lucky on ebay

they are a completely different wheel altogether. not the split spokes on the 99-01's

they were an option. and they are very hard to come by.

Dang.. My dad actually had these when he bought the car new in 99, but he ended up throwing them away because the Michigan winters with all the salt ruined them.

I'm glad to see that you are considering coming to the Charlotte meet. I hope you make it out there!

You had some creative shots of your car, but your lack of a tripod killed their potential. Are you shooting with a P+S or a DSLR?

So tint is first for the car huh? What's next after that?

Oh no i know that, I was referring more to the fact that they were 16in chrome oem rims

sorry for the confusion lolol

when my dad first got this car (00tl) the dealer said they'd throw in these rims or take a grand off the price...my dad liked the chrome but ultimate decided that it was way to gaudy for him and took the cash

jeez I was frickin 11 back then... wowsers

Man, thats one clean ride! I almost bought an 00tl, back in 2001, I brought it home and drove it for 2 days... "old school" test drive...LOL... I got a better deal on the PO'd 01CLS, so I rolled it instead...

Its gonna be sick with a drop... keep the OEM rims... sets it off to me.

I'm not sure what P+S and a DSLR are but the camera I used was a general Kodak that I didnt really want but got for Christmas...this isnt it but its like this: http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsu...ctID.161071600

hopefully after the tint one of my buddies (great photographer) and I will be out to get better pics and get some pics of my friend's sick EVO.

after tint will probably be to lower it. I dont know much about lowering so I'll have to gain some knowledge on that. I probably will not get the OEM kit that everybody else has just because I dont wanna spend the money on that.

I'll keep the rims but I am also debating on getting a used set for winter driving. If i don't then I'll be sure to wash them often

Winter rims and tires are an excellent idea for a DD up north (or anywhere they salt or sand the roads during the winter)...

P+S is a point and shoot camera (what most peeps have)

DSLR is a Digital single lens reflex camera (what some peeps have )
