Yes I did, because I value both function and look as my top priorities.

The 18" RoJa rims on my 2G TL-S (now sold) was only 20lbs, which is approx. 7lbs lighter in unsprung weight per corner. It did translate into much better throttle response.

i still say the TL isnt meant to be raced, its meant to be a cruiser. im all for function and form....in the right car, like my 68 mustang for example needs looks and balls, the TL doesnt IMO, it needs looks and thats it to be a cool car.

hmmm, kind of weak fitment, but get some spacers and it will look pretty slick.

Buy them, put them on and show us how balling a TL can get. If you buy them I'll get them, too. If they look good that is...

I would just order wheels with the offset and width you want so you could avoid spacers.
