The beater got new wheels
Here is just a few pics of my beater with its new wheels. It took a little bit of work and alot of patience to get these to fit just right.

Wow, I didnt expect any comments so quick. Thanks. I know staggard is for everyone but I did it for me. Its technically my beater since its dash is cracking and my Element is in way better shape and turns more heads.

That car is not a beater by a long shot. Nice Rim Choice and the stance is perfect.

TL is sexy! Care to give us the specs on the wheels?

The Element is good looking but it's still an Element. TL FTW.

Thanks, that means alot to me since I consider your car as one of the few TLs that have a great stance and wheel fitment.

The wheels are AME Shallen MX 19x9 +25 and 19x10 +25.

Yes I did. Alot of my TL is Acurazine influenced. This site has tons a great info and members.

I personally rolled all 4 fenders. I have an Eastwoood fender rolling tool. It works pretty good. Using a heat gun minimizes the risk of cracking paint but unfortunately thats not always preventable.
