CENTRAL CALIFORNIA MINI SHOOT... new camera! woohooo
So just got a new camera & decided to do a mini shoot. Still getting use to the camera & trying some subtle HDR. You'll notice some weird color shifts on a couple of the photos. Enough talk, on to the pics.

Been getting the same question via PM about my SSM 04TL.
They all pretty much ask the same question.
What kind of wheels?
What size?
What offset?
What tires?
First off thanks for the compliments, the wheels were originally made for an Audi R8. Search under Avant Guarde Wheels & you will find them. For some reason the website doesn't list them in 20". Originally they produced 10 test sets (in 20") & I ended up with one lucky set. The size is 20x8.5 Offset 35 front & 20x10 Offset 37 in the rear. Tires are 225/3520 front & 245/35/20 rear. The finish is sparkle silver with a brushed aluminum face. Im not sure if they are going to keep producing them in the same size & finish, but only time will tell. My poor TL was in the body shop for over a month to make the rears fit. Fender work galore. Tried hard to keep the stock crease along the rear wheel arc. The whole back half of my car had to be repainted to blend in the widened fenders correctly. Plus I had to grind down the back pad of the wheel to lighten the offset to a 37. They started off as 30. Then to top it all off the bolt pattern was different, so I had to have them rebored & sleeved so they would fit our 5x114 bolt pattern. In the end I spent more than I ever wanted to, but I was pretty satisfied with the result. I wont say how much I spent, cuz your price might be different.
October will be the 1year mark with these on, so Im not to anal about others having these. Just have enough funds set apart for the conversion, there is nothing worse than doing things half way then running out of money. LOL

Mine are an Audi fitment too, but I just had the centers bored to 66.6 and used wobble nuts for the difference in PCD.

So your front lip is custom molded? Pretty sick, why not the rear also? And you should get the Aspec sideskirts to finish off the look. But damn those are some dope concave wheels bro. Great camera skills as well!
