just say no to lip!

Just wanted to show you dont need rediculous lip to have a good looking TL. Well, at least I think its good looking>

Wheels are Racing sparco NS6
Drop is Tein Htech






Also completed the system finally...boston pro 6.0 up front, Infinity Kappa perfect DVQ in a 2.2 net vented tuned to 28 htz. New punch 75 for frontstage, Infinity 710 mono for the sub...Very happy with it.

They reminded me of BMW M3 wheels a bit, I like the way they look on it.

Actually I really like wheels with lip too, I was just trying to start some crap.

I dont like lip either, makes the wheel look smaller than it actually is. i.e. 19" rim with lip makes it look like 18" and an 18" rim with no lip looks more like 19"

only good thing about it is better protection...

Good taste in Rims! Do they make that in a gunmetal?

what size are those....

I see you're dropped on htech's.....can you give an absolute honest and accurate quick review on how they ride and feel compared to stock.

If you had them on before the rims, how did it ride? and with the rims?

I would say there is minimal difference in the ride, its tough to say though since I went to the 19s and245/35 series tyre just a couple of days beforehand. Honestly the ride is still very comfortable to me, A bit less body roll, I am very happy with the springs, the Stechs definately would have been too low for my taste. I am just going for a somewhat aggressive "sports sedan" look. The biggest difference I noticed is my car does tramrail a bit now, where it didnt before.

Leedog-I dont believe the come in Gunmetal...

Now if I could just decide whether or not to finish of the Aspec kit and get tint...

Oh, and here are a few more pics as requested, thanks for the positive comments folks!
By the way, all mods (Aspec lip, wheels, Tein Htech, stereo, AEM CAI, were DIY installs! If you are contemplating DIY, just go for it. I forgot how much I enjoy working with my hands-You can do it too guys!
