I always liked those wheels. I seriously considered getting a set in titanium gunmetal.

Nice choice Donald.... Volks and GS-D3s. I got the same tires too, saved my ass in the rain a few times in my first winter driving a RWD car.

The last shot is my fav.

my MAN! There they are! I was wondering when you were going to mount those.

Can you tell a big difference in handling? When i switched back to the 17s for those few months I had to be really careful not to take curves and turns as fast as when the volks were on.

Looking good.

cleared!

And thanks for the comments everyone! Eric aka Accuratein is my inspiration. When I first got the car, went on the forum, i fell in love with his set up which is how it is now so I just had to save up for these Volks..

After seeing Woo's TL with GOLD TE's. DAM, i want them even more, lol.

Long - I got the blue lugs for 138 shipped to my door. Center caps will be here in a couple days or less..

eric- i would def. be cruising around in my car right now but it's raining! On another sunny day, i will be cruising non stop, outta control! lol

Yup, it would actually look just like a Subie.

To the OP: nice car/wheels, btw! If the +43mm offset clears the BBK, we should trade off every 3-4 months . You can ride my Works for a while, and I can ride sittin' on the Volk TE's for a while, lol. My wheels/tires are exact same specs as yours!

I'm glad to be your inspiration Donald!

If you ever get the urge to go with a big brake kit, some spoon calipers would be money inside those wheels!

We don't have any NBP's with these TE's in Bronze on the boards?

if not, I think it's time for a photochop. Someone get me a side shot of those wheels!

O man, u don't even know how many times it's gone through my head! Ever since I saw this one Accord with it in person, i've been thinkin about spoon BBK since.. Spoon is $ fsho but I've decided to go with some red Rotora BBK's... Iono yet man, but we'll see how it plays out.. I need a job, lol.

I'm thinking about carbon fiber hood+trunk..

And this has also been goin through my head.. You know the Honda Civic RR in japan? Well if u look @ the hood, it's got some nice lookin hoodvents that would look real good on the TL, I can only imagine that you'd be the only one up for it.. Its like the Vorsteineer hoodvents on the BMW's 3 series.. Wutchu think brahbrah?

I hear ya son! You're going for the gold with the TL! That's what i like to see. The spoons will only run you around 1500 for the calipers, and then whichever rotors you decide to go with will be more.

A cf hood and or trunk will be the icing on the cake if you decide to get either one.

And as for the civic RR, that baby looks good for sure. The vents make it look really aggressive.
