They do look like their glowing ?

The Work Varianza 2 piece cast 19"x 8.5" weighs about 28# or so. DARN
We tried to swap wheels but it didnt fit. Offset was wrong and sticked out on the rear like about 1 1/2 out.

daytime shots, those darker environments don't do your car justice, and the IS looks sick, but your car just has a more mature look to it.

The IS in general just doesn't do it for me although that one is OK. They look like a Scion tC Sedan. ^^^ Now that pic of your TL is just too damn hot!!! Wheels look better on yours

Those Works wheel were photoshopped. I stil have my Advan. As for the CSL spoiler they are putting my stuff as a back burner because they are working on some show cars now....unfortunately. I just shipped out my front lip spoiler to have them molded and probably going to do a group buys on those. I will let you all know ASAP. Will keep you all posted.

I ordered a set of Work T1S like 2 weeks ago. 19" straggered setup/ silver polish. Hopefully for another 2 months, I can post some pictures on my car.

By the way, your car looks hot. Love those Advan on your car.

Did you order them from Ravspec? What specs on the wheels, and what size tires MAY I ASK?

Yes, I ordered it from them. They are the cheapest compare to others and always fast respond. They even included free lug nuts and hub ring.

The spec of the rims are 19"x8.5 32offset R-disk(to clear Brembo) and 19"x9.5 42offset O-disk(more lips). I made a caculation that I should get about 1.75" lip front and 3" lip at the back.

I haven't order the tire yet, but I am going to run Toyo T1R, all 245/35/19. I know the back will be stretch, but I don't see that as a problem. I used to run 235/35/19 on my last car with 19"x9.5 and I love the stretch look. Also, it gives me more cleance to run more extreme offset at the back to get more lips.

I have seen many Tl poeple seems to run bigger tire with stragger rims setup (just to fill the rims), but it will affect the car's handling. You might not feel it under normal driving, but you will feel the car more understeering when you really push the car.

Very nice....Why don't you go with 245/35/19 in front and 275/30/19 in back, you can't rotate the wheels anyway. And the height should be about the same with wider in back. When using the same size tire all-around the front usually sticks out about 1/4" compared to the back. With the wider tire/wheel in back they will be even, and would look friken awesome. Maybe a 265/30/19 or 275/30/19, whatever size Toyo makes.

I will stick with 245 all around. I don't really care about rotating the tire, but I would like to keep the car handling good. Wider tire at back of front wheel drive car is really not a good idea.

YAH that makes sense. You'll get the staggered look without the staggered wider tire in back. Thats really not a bad idea. Got to see it when you get them. Will it be 60-90 days???

I really have no idea how long it's going to take. They said 6-8 weeks, but I doubt it. My last set of Work wheels took about 5 months. Hopefully I will get it faster this time since Work wheels are pretty common now than 2 years ago.

When I ordered the Varianza's from Ravspec a month ago they said it might be quicker because its a new wheel and they try to get as many out so they can be seen. I cancelled the order because they were almost 29# for the 19x8.5". I still think they look fantastic. I can't wait to see them on your car. Good Luck!
