What's the offset on these rims? Do they rub?

Nice. Back in the days, I had the exact rim but they were Diablo Racing Concept 9's. The damn chrome would peel off while driving in the rain as the front wheels created the jet spray and the rear wheels would start to discolor and peel off. I'm not a fan of Diablo at all, just hope you don't have the same issue.

Nice shiny chrome rims on the TL . I think it looks good as there aren't too many TL's with chrome wheels around.

brakejobhelp

1) What is the width of those rims?

2) How much did you pay for them and where did you buy them?

3) What is the drop inch dimensions of your car? Coilovers, Comptech Springs, Eibach Prokit, H&R springs or what?

1) 7.5's

2) 1800 for rims and tires from les schwab, but I got a family discount

3) Eibach springs, sportline (i cant remember the exact drop)

Do those Brembo blanks feel any different than the stock ones (ie: do you stop any quicker)?

So you customize your car because of what other people think? Talk about conforming.

input does not always have to be negative. good for you if no one has your rims. I dont care if everyone has mine, I like the way they look and that's why I purchased them
