First post with Pics

Hello Everyone!!
This is my first post here but I have been lurking around here for some time.
I picked up my 04 TL at the end of December and it has been a joy ever since. There have been some hiccups here and there but most have been covered in these forums.
None the less here are some quick pics of my TL I wanted to share with all of you. This is a first for me getting wheels and lowering a car but i think it turned out okay. Thanks to everyone's wealth of information here.

Enjoy the pics, and any feedback is welcomed good or bad.

Sorry about the size.









2004 TL NBP/ebony
19" Zenetti Five wheels
Eibach pro kit springs

Very nice and I love those rims!

But is it me or do those 19s look small on the TL?

I first went with 18" Kaotik Z5's and those looked too small. I opted for the 19 inch Zenetti's but to be honest 20" wheels will fit fine on the 04. However I was only allowed to swap the rims once.

the wheels are 19x8. offset I believe is 42. Tire size is 235/35/19.
Would defintely go with 245/40/19 or 245/35/19.
No need to worry about rubbing.

The tires are Hankook Ventus. Cheap tire but the perform pretty well. Not too loud. Had Continentals on the Kaotiks and was really unhappy with the ride.

ssr vienna sovereigns... our 19s looks like 18s because the lip but oh well. when i actually got the work done, i thought about 20s but the man said with those wheels, there are not enough clearance with 20s using those set.

i thought only the ssr sovereigns and another type were the only look alikes but we have another winner.

btw.. i definitely need the kit. it adds another layer of something.. can't really put my fingers on it.

your right about the lip. that's what threw me the first time I got the wheels.
One thing I definitely realized was that the TL NEEDS to be lowered to complete the look a but also the drive. To me it feels like the car not only handles better but takes the bumps better than the stock springs. I was really nervous before I decided to go with the Eibachs but i am really glad i did.

The kit makes the car look mean!!

As for the tint percentage to be honest I am not sure. it was done when i picked up the car. My lease broker had it done for me.

I honestly think you have the best looking TL on here from what I've seen . But beware of my project coming soon to a post near you. Project : THE CLOAK
I really like what you've done beware of the H8ters around here ! As for the 20's , is there a particular style that will fit !

In case you didn't know, "Hankook" means Korea These are actually really good. The reason they are cheap is because they simply haven't gained the fame yet. I think they entered the passenger car market not too long ago either. But they've been a long time supplier of those big Truck (18 wheelers and such) tires all over the world. Airplanes too. Haven't personally used them, so i don't know how good they are. This is just what i have been told.

BTW, your car is TIGHT!

thank everyone for the compliments.
My next venture is Zaino (of course Can't wait to see how it turns out.

The only suspension work I had done was the Eibach pro kit. No camber kit needed.

Yeah that was me at Tire Pros! Great place and they really take care of you there.
