Why would you ever go with 255's on an 8.5'' rim?

Looks really nice. For me, I would lower the TL another 1/4inch and it will sit perfectly.

Love the color of those TE37's.

I love the way it looks. How much did you end up lowering it i think that is the perfect drop. How is the ride compared to stock?

Thanks for everyone’s comments. I think the color of the kit is from the camera? Desmond Performance is in North Carolina. I was thinking of going lower, but I didn’t want the rice = slammed look. I have 1 finger gap in the front and about 1.5 finger gap in the rear. I think the measurements are 100mm in the front and 115 in the rear so it doesn’t sag. The camber is .3deg (-) in the rear and right at 1deg (-) in the front. I usually take off ramps at 60 or so, just to push the cornering. The factory strut and sway bars on the 6sp are better or just as good as any aftermarket ones out there right now in my opinion.
There is no rubbing right now. The offset (43mm) barely clears the Bembo's. It rides really nice. I got the center caps and the Rays lugs; I figure after all that money, might as well. I am thinking of dual Apexi WS2 exhausts next, what does everyone think? Has anyone done this exhaust before out there?
Thanks again for all the positive comments, this forum is by far the best for all TL owners.

I'm seriously considering selling my A-SPEC wheels for a set of these. I think it would be a pretty good combo with NBP. I'd like to get everyone else's thoughts.

Anyone who can do a Photoshop would be much appreciated.

As sad as this may be, the rims are now for sale. I took them off the car the other day. I am selling them to purchase an engagement ring. I am asking 2100 w/out tires, and 2600 with tires. The rims are 2 months old. They have approx 5k miles on the tires (Falken 452) 245.35.19 I will throw in the center caps and the Rays lugs for free. Thanks again for the complements everyone .

Which is one reason why I am selling them. Another is to buy a wedding ring, and any little bit helps. I love my TL, so any time I get to drive it I am always down.

I don't care for all dark wheels, BUT they look great on your WDP! If I had those on my ASM TL-S I would want an SS LIP. IMO I don't think they would look good on ASM.

I just realized you are the person who e-mailed me about them. They look great on WDP like I said, but on ASM, I don't think so.

Thanks Dan.

Getting the tires and wheels mounted Saturday!

Funny thing is, Dan and I have identical cars. I have a few more widgets, but we're both rolling Tein lowered 2006 WDP 6MT's.

I'll snap a few when they're mounted.
