VERY Nice, Congrats!

MT or AT? Definately digging the 5 spoke look. I haven't seen anything but a 5 spoke that I've really liked on our cars.....

I am loving these rims more and more. I might just get these ones b/c I want some 19's with a deep polish lip on it. And these ones really fit the bill. Say can you please post more pics of your car. Example..take a rear shot standing 4ft away from the rear right at the edge of the car so you can see the side of the car plus the lip of the wheel. Do the same for the front shot so you can see the front of the car and the front side. That would be great if you can take some of those shots bud!!!!!!

Thanks for the Great Comments Guys!

I like a nice clean, classy sophisticated while aggresive look to my cars. I think these Axis Milanos with its deep dish fit perfectly with the car. My last car was a '99 BMW 540 with 19" Hartge Classics, which have the same clean/aggressive look to them.

BTW, I'm also very happy with the Falken ST115s. They handle well in both dry and wet weather and are very quiet.

I've been meaning to take more pix from a back and front angle, but ive been out of town and its now raining. I'll try to take some this weekend.

Next I want to install a CAI and exhaust...any suggestions on the CAI, Injen or K&N?

I like wheels with screws on the edge...
I'm getting the Falken Koblenz, they asured me they would clear the Brembos

wheel size : machine/gun metal finish 18x8.0 5-114.3 35mm

Tires : Falken Azenis ST-115 245/45ZR18

they also have a small lip

Yes I was also looking at these wheels, but I was concerned about the 35mm offset. If you do get them, please post pics, and reviews. Thanks!

The guy at Discount Tire called like 5 people, and they asured him the 35 offset will not touch the brembos... we'll see on Monday.

In 18 inch, the Koblenz come in 35 and 45 offset.
but 35 will give you a deeper lip.

I can't wait, I'm getting ready.
I will polish my car if it warms up a little this weekend.

I would say yes, but I'm not sure about the 18x9,
the guy at Discount Tire told me 18x8 was what Falken suggested for the 6MT. I will ask him again.

GaleForce, $320/Rim or $1950 with the Falken ST115s at Wheels Boutique who I highly recommend

Anitosi, I've driven the car with 5 tightly cramped people in it and No Rubbing. they are a 1 piece

Johnstl, thanks for the compliment. Ya go for it, upgrade the rims. It seems like everyday I see more and more TL's out there. So its nice to be able to personalize your own and make it stand out from the rest.

iiRIGHTii ... Your TL is lookin slick. Very nice choice on the axis milanos. It was a hard choice to make between silver and white, but went with the WDP. Always wanted a silver car. If i had chosen silver, those axis milanos would have been on my list of wheels to choose from.

Not sure if this is true, but I have been told that by using the wrong offset(+ or -) you can put additional stress on the suspension. True?
