I just now realized it was tinted. I love tinted windshield I opted for a reflective tint when I got mine done. I went with the 50%, but I also have 5% the rest of the way around.

...WHAT!?!? You don't think the TL looks "mean"? I think it's one of the meanest looking 4 door sedans around!

Yeah, I'm sure the UV off the dash and the heat out of the car will help keep the temps less intense.

I think it's an aggressive, sporty car... but not mean. I don't think anyone can really consider a 14 sec car mean. You gotta have some balls to back up the look. AMG's and CTS-V are examples of what fit that description.

Steven could you change the title of my thread to "New wheels coming soon". Thanks.

As for the wheels, i'm torn betweeb the es1 and es3. I also dont know what size to go with. Should I stick with 18's or go with 19's? I'm also torn between either candy purple, candy red, or candy teal for the color. The offset/width i'll probably go with is 10.5 +22 in the back and 9.5 +22 in the front. Let me know what you guys think!

Candy Red.



If you can't choose a custom color, you should see if Varrstoen will let you pay the difference.

I did like those but they don't come out for a little bit and i heard you are going to wait for awhile since a bunch of people already have pre orders in.

I thought about those but some about the wheels with lips keeps bringing me back. I'm going to look at those on some cars though and see if i like them.

Of the colors you posted, I think Candy Red will pop the most against your color. I personally don't like that they are shiney and think a more matte looking finish will look better though. I don't know if it's the design of that wheel, but I'm not really feeling those finishes on ES3.

EDIT: In reference to the Teal TL thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showpos...3&postcount=35

Here are pics I took of a friend's car that had 2.2.0 in Tiffany Blue on his Turbo M3. While I didn't care for the Red/Tiffany Blue color combo, the wheels did look pretty hot. I also really like that style of wheel on your car. I think upgrading to the 2.2.2 would look pretty nice.

^ Nice shots and wheels!

So i have some bad news guys, I talked to Varrstoen and they said I can't get their custom colors on the wheels. So i went with hyper black and will get them powder coated in the next couple months hopefully. I'm still stoked about the wheels though!

I went with the es3's in 18x9.5 +22 and 18x10.5 +22.

What tires should i get for the 10.5's? I'm going to need to run a stretch.
