Blacked out 2005 TL
First you need to lower then get any aftermarket wheel. If not then stay stock cuz it will look goofy no matter what aftermarket wheel you put on.
Also we need more pictures in different angle.

I'm gonna parrot what's already been said. It needs to be lowered. Even 1.5" or 2" will make a huge difference in the way it looks and it will still be practical enough for every day city driving. It's not very expensive especially if you can do it yourself like I did. With the Tien lowering springs I got a 1.5" - 2" drop kept my stock struts and ride quality didn't suffer one bit. Handling is improved bc lower center of gravity. I have no problem clearing driveways and ramps, pot holes are no worse than before. If you start going lower than that it becomes much more expensive, far less practical.
It won't look right till you lower it. Anything else you do to the car is just gonna accentuate the fact that the car is a 4x4. Don't wanna lower it? Fine. It will continue to look incomplete. And I DD my lowered TL all year round in upstate NY. I would KILL for your roads.
Edit: FYI, Dumped on stock wheels>stock height on ANY wheels. And you can carve that in stone if you'd like, cause that will never change. Like was previously stated, it's a lifestyle. Don't fake it.

yeah i feel you but why would it make a difference if i lower it with these wheels on it? ill put pics when i can ill do another thread.
yeah i do want to lower it but i dont want to slam it like a lot of people are saying to do i cant the roads where i live are bad. peiople keep talking about nice flat roads and flat driveways. maybe where they have visited but not in downtown orlando or in kissimmee where im always driving. but i would like to do like a 1.5 in lower when i get money for it. what did you use?
your statement is all opinion because im always getting compliments and trade/sale offers on my car all the time. but it does look nicer lowered but not slammed like other people keep telling me. my aspec kit just goes over curbs and stuff i paid 1000 for it and dont want to mess it up so sorry for being cautious ive never really lowered a car so i dont know how low to really go. ive got 18 inch rims. maybe instead of knocking my car u could give some useful help? the roads where i am are not what you are saying there are really steep driveways and speed bumps evrywhere because or street racers. the driveways are not flat like u think they are everywhere. every city has its bad areas for lowered cars and mine happens to be one of them.
lol your a funny guy but noone can talk or know more about where i drive daily then i do. where i live and drive i need to go slow as hell at an angle so my kit dosent hit the cement already so if i lower it what do you think will happen??? dont talk about something you have no knowlegeof. as soon as you know what your talking about then you can say something.
thanks man its a work in progress but i get all kinds of awesome responses on the street
