Just because I can finally do it myself, here's my own wheel teaser. Don't worry, in the end the tease is on me because I'll be taking them off in a few weeks before it starts snowing in upstate NY.







Tires getting mounted later today...

Lol, nuff said.

ebelp

Okay I feel bad, so I'll post another pic lol. They're Work Termist TM1's...discontinued model. I've never seen them on a TL, so it should be a unique look.

Here's a pic on the way to the tire shop earlier:


Dammit I gotta get some work done so I can leave early...

^ thanks bro for not keeping me hard all day with no satisfaction...

nice rim never seen it a good classic mesh design its guna look good

ebelp

Some pictures of these wheels on other cars for your continued satisfaction hehe:

murph145

they look good! did u have them refinished or were they just kept in good shape?

ebelp

I got them from Apartment 9 Wheels and had them refinish/repair the lips since they had some curb rash. Lips look like new now. There are some wear and tear blemishes on the faces, but nothing I can't live without for now. I highly recommend Apartment 9...they were great to deal with.

murph145

^ awesome.... i ask cuz when i got my used VS-XX they had some curbs and they were black centers so i had them re done by TRU Wheels out here in the valley they made my rims look brand new ... its amazing how some of these shops do it but props to the shops out there that are legit at refinishing rims!

ebelp

Mounted!







Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics. More pics to come once the car is clean. I'm wishing I would have gone with coilovers instead of the Supercup Kit because I'm as low as I can go right now. I like how it sits now, but I think it would look even better if it was another inch lower.

murph145

those are nice lookn rims bud.... i think an inch lower too woulod help but hey what the heck is modding about..... keep doing more

Vedy nice.

Do you plan on getting spacers? Looks good as is but they could afford to be a slight more flush.

ebelp

Was thinking about spacers...but I have no idea how much to space them. Any suggestions?

Damn those are sexy wheels! Congrats!

Need to space them out a little

Looks nice op . They look similar to my wheels, but I wish they made 9's or even 8.5 widths for mines.

damn those are some nice wheels, congrats O.P.

ebelp

Thanks guys. I actually have a pair of 5mm spacers that I bought just in case the front wheels didn't clear the Brembos, but I didn't need them. I might throw them on the rear, but I don't think 5mm is going to make a noticeable difference. What would be better...15mm? 25mm? There's no rubbing right now, but I'm guessing with another 15mm+ will require me to roll/cut my fenders.

So the specs of your wheels are...

18x8 +35
18x9 +35

I'm running 18x8.5 +30 up front with no problems whatsoever. You could easily run a 10mm spacer up front since your wheels are a half inch narrower than mine. For the rear I would try the 5mm spacer and see how it works. I'm worried that anything larger than 5 will require you to roll fenders and all of that. What are your tire specs?

ebelp

Thanks for the info. Tires are 225/40/18. I don't mind getting the fenders rolled...
