Those rims look great on the AM. I agree with Enigmaos...needs to be a little lower. Trevors car was low and these rims fit the wells perfect.

I think it looks very nice. IMO, no need to go lower. Very classy look right now.

yeah, same thing when I had 19s vs 18s, but it's not that noticeable in person in terms of the gap.

Anyway, it looks really good!

What an idiot post that guy made.

I guess I should change my profile pic now, huh? haha
Well I won't have the car much longer anyway. Been trying to get to a couple of dealerships to test drive stuff but have been working a ton.

They look great man. I'm happy they made it there safe and you were great to deal with on the sale. Thanks for being a great buyer and taking care of those wheels. It was not easy for me to let those go!!!!

moderate drop looks good. i think you should rake it more... either lower the front a tad, or raise the rear a tad. for an evil/aggresive look

Rims look sick. I wouldn't say drop it more. It's dropped enough to have an aggressive stance but not so much that it's unlivable for daily commuting. Maybe just take the back up a little bit or the front down some just to even it out. (Hard to tell from pics but the rear looks to have less gap than the front).

I also applaud you for not staggering your wheels/tires on your FWD TL.

u r right about that, for some reason i see the rear slightly lower than the front! so either lower the front a tad, or raise the rear a tad would set it off!!
