Before, dropped on Tein SS and Volk SE-37's.....





and Now, dropped on Tein SS w/ replacement springs and Work VS-XX... ...

BraveDemon

hot damn! Now this guy has great taste in wheels!

I was beginning to get worried because there have been too many 20" rims wannabe baller style wheels on this site... but Dro_15 you are definitely doing up the 2nd Gen TL the right way!

Nice drop and good choice in wheels. What are the measurements?

Those are some damn nice wheels. I need to find some black wheels with a fat chrome lip like those to replace my RJ inspyres.

dro_15

Thanks fellas... The Teins still have about 4/5 threads to go down if I wanted. As for the Works VS-XX they are 18x8/9 +38 offset with 225/40's all around. I don't have any issues with the 225's in front but once they're gone I want to go with 215's and debating about running a spacer up front.

dro_15

haha... no 20's here....

dro_15

I passed by your work (OSH) Sunday. Saw you parked next to the 240 I think it was.

Tanginaglaz

Sexy!

hell yeah man i told you it'd work out G!! 215-40-18 on 8's is what i got now... debated 205-40's but aah i daily those wheels too. i'd suggest swapping out to 215 when you get the time/$ though, definitely. looks good on the replacement springs too! mines are still sitting... think im gonna go air..

once again definitely sick, glad you ended up going with it.

Looks good...

Looks hawt, hows the ride with the Tein SS?

dro_15

III: yup thanks for the advice... I do plan on going with 215's once the meat on my tires are gone. Which will be soon.

02: The SS have impressed me even with the replacement springs. I do have a soft bounce but nothing like SS on my girl's RSX. They are different cars but the same suspension. The RSX-S can't even compare to the TL's ride.

@cUr@-TL

nice wheels.. clean car!

you need a rear lip though.

also i wouldnt mount 205 or 215s tires on those rims man, even with 225s they're stretched.. it's gonna look wack and will be unsafe. i would go with 235s but i guess rubbing would become an issue.

looks good man...what did ya do with the old rims?

^ i agree. looks really clean, but you need a rear lip. looks kinda incomplete without it.

dro_15

yeah, i been looking for a rear lip... but at a decent price, then i could get my car painted... the Volks I picked up locally.... still have my volks sitting in storage...

actually, black wasn't my first choice at all... the face was originally chrome and i wanted to refinish it... but due to mostly time constraints i went with powder coating... i think i'll get the chrome face in another 6 months or so

are these will's old wheels?

dro_15

I picked these up locally here in San Diego. I don't know if the guys name was will but there was a guy with a blue TL with these when I first got mine. The specs on mine are 18x7.5 +35. They were originally on a prelude.

Hey dro_15 -

There's a kit for sale in the BM. I only want the front lip tho. You want the rear?

https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/sold-fs-2002-acura-tl-type-s-bodykit-oem-factory-body-kit-lips-367801/

I'm sure someone else can pick up the sides.

SLAKERZ

You're car is on the right track man. Lookin' forward to seeing it with the rear lip. Got anything else planned for it?

very nice, sir

dro_15

pm'd you.....


Umm, don't have anything else planned for my car at the moment besides a rear lip and repaint my car....

Air runners sound mighty nice but I can't justify spending 3G's to lower my car about an inch when I park. My car is lower than it looks in the pictures.

What else mods are there???

Acuracy02

What's the difference between the "replacement springs" and the standard SS springs?

slavver01

iTrader: (3)

wow man, now thats what i want my nbp 2g to look like. soon as i get some dough haah. those volks are beautiful tho. haha, my car looks so much like yours, cept for the lipkit and lowered. i even have some fat mufflers like you too

laidback93

that is one hot package!

so clean!

III

standard that comes w/ the ss's only go so low.. which isnt low enough.. maybe to the top of your tire, doesnt tuck really. but you can order replacement springs which are shorter... in a variety of sizes, 1" shorter, 1.5, 2".. i got 2" sitting in my room still waiting to go on, but dont think im gonna get to it.. probs go air instead.

215's ftw man... fk 235's

dro_15

yup 215(f)/225(r) is the way to go... i like the strech look myself... well, actually depends on the rims and what car it's going on....

i know the pics aren't the best but here you go.......

springs in comparison (about 2" difference)


Tein SS all the way down


all the way down w/ replacement springs

III

i never even realized you dont have a rear lip, til someone said something bout it... lol

dro_15

yup, i'm still looking for a good deal... someone pointed out a WW rear on ebay... i think it's buy now for like 200 or 210 plus $60 for shipping... hit him up and offered his asking price and i would pick up but he never got back to me....

sittinlow

wow bro. ur car is sick.. i love the rims and the dropp also, im thinkin about ordering those repplacement springs..

dro_15

thanks, when i ordered i went up from 7kg to 8kg in spring rate.... just a thought if you were gonna order them......
