Talking AWD in the SNOW with 20's! LOL

OK so while we were on our yearly snow trip.... WE GOT 7.5 inches of snow.... TIME TO USE THE AWD!







On the way home we saw 3 accidents... mostly cuz of the black ice. (Ha! even saw this poor lady with chains on the front tires of her RWD Toyota Pick-Up...WTF)

This is the first time I was glad we DON'T have RWD.

Thanx, I chose them cuz they look almost like somthing you would see STOCK on the ACURA showroom floor. They only look big cuz they don't have a lip. If you guys remember the PROTOTYPE TL at the autoshow... IT HAD F'in 21" wheels!!! Plus I carry 1000lbs of boxes 400 miles every week. SO NO LOWERING FOR ME...

I don't see how people think 20's are soooooooooo huge... They are only HALF an inch bigger on top & bottom than 19's. FILLED THE GAP PERFECTLTY WITHOUT LOWERING.

I personally think they go perfect with my SSM, ghost tails, & colormatched LED headlights.

I was a bit worried too. But in the end they ended up just perfect... ONLY ISSUE... passenger wheel got a small scuff about .5inch long. But I'm sure it can be pollished out... AFTER ALL the wheels have a clear cout on them.

Trio D'sTL is a very rare AWD TL that was offered only in Europe and he then put on the North American badging, Google the AWD TL for that year and you will find more info,
