Mini Photoshoot With New Wheels

Pulled over on my way home between rain clouds and snapped a few shots of my car. Location is poor and my car is dirty, but I just wanted to get in a few pics before it starts snowing and I have to take my new wheels off.

Specs:
-2008 TL-S
-Work Termist TM1's (18x8/9et35)
-Neuspeed Supercup Kit (lowest perch)

Man... that is beautiful.
I am thoroughly convinced that 18s are the new 19s for 2012.
They make the ride look significantly lower.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I was playing around with Photoshop and now I'm really considering changing my suspension setup to a coilover kit. I just really hate to lose the dampening adjustability bc I don't want to drop $800+ on dampening adjustable coilovers.

Here's the photochop I did with my ideal ride height:

Compared to actual:

I agree on the spacers. What size would you guys suggest?

^ Thanks. I was thinking about having the faces powdercoated a dark gunmetal color, but the hypersilver finish is actually really nice in person. From a distance they look all chrome hehe...

Thanks. I asked you where in Upstate you were in one of your recent threads...you said you're near Albany, right? I'm near Syracuse. My in-laws are in Oneonta, so I'm in your vicinity pretty regularly.

Thanks! I agree with you...and I'm having an extremely hard time deciding if I want to keep my suspension setup or get some coilovers and go even lower....UGH

^^ That is the same set up I will be getting. Are your fenders rolled? do you rub?

Fenders are not rolled, no rubbing. I'm on the lowest perch on the Konis too. I plan to put on some 15mm(F) and 20mm(R) spacers soon, so we'll see if it starts rubbing after that.

Hey, interested in buying my suspension?
