IMO, those rims don't flow well with the TL's body lines.
oh and don't get the short ram.....the car comes with a cold air intake....replace it with an aftermarket cold air intake please.

Good job on choosing the right coilovers tho!

The thread title got me excited. After viewing the pics, not so much. Put the stockies back on and it will be one clean ride. I'm also not sure about red callipers on a gold car.

Yes sir, 20x8.5, i forget the offset but its close to that of the factory wheels. i got falken 452 245/30/20 all around. I wish i could get your rims in 20s, its just perfect.

Did you get an EDFC for that price? If not I finally get the chance to use the :rippedoff emoticon!!! I for a fact know one vendor on here has them for about 1100 shipped.

But anyway the drop looks hot... the wheels not!!!

A drop usually only looks good with good wheels. So I'm not feeling the drop too much..

If you painted/powdercoated the brake calipers body color, that would be Classy !
That particular color can be done at a very high taste level...if thats your thing.

Nice drop.

Get some spacers to make the wheels flush.
