I'm Down Right Fierce!
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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???

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
