My WDP with 20's in Toronto.

I just have this single pic right now..my camera is acting up. I'll try to get more tomorrow...its a bit blurry

So some details.

05 model automatic
Aspec manual suspension (hoping the front settles a little more)
20 x 8.5 Gianna Blitz I believe with a +38 offset, inserts matched to the body
Dunlop super sport tires 245/35/20
Front aspec lip and truck lip
Windows tinted with 23% tint all around

Im thinking in the future I may add the rear aspec lip, and Type S tails and side markers and black out the headlights.

I know a lot of ya'll arent feeling the chrome, and I know a lot arent feeling the matched paint...but Im thinking it looks pretty good and clean.

Wow...sparkly. I've always been a fan of color coded wheels for TL's.

Looks good man

Getting the rear A-Spec, rear TL-S side markers, and a slight drop and it would be even better

Everyone has a right to their own opinion. As long as the OP likes it, then that's all that matters.

Personally, I didn't think 20inch chrome could be pulled off on a 3g, but there are certainly much worse-looking wheels out there. I like the wheels, I like the car. With a little more work, you could get them to go absolutely beautifully with each other.

I know 30 profile is the right size, but this is my daily driver and i drive downtown, the roads arent the greatest in Toronto. The extra tire thickness does add to the comfort of the ride, and helps with protecting the rim.

Also it fills out the wheel well better. Without a significant drop a 30 profile looks bad in my opinion.

I think a 30 profile looks proper if you're running a staggered setup and your rear wheels are 9.5 or 10 wide.

The wheels are not my style, but we have completely different styles obviously and I respect that. So if you like em thats what matters. I will say though I like how you did the shoot in front of the graffiti art, it looks really cool!

AnthraciteAspec thank you very much! seriously thats what this is about, not everybody has the same taste...just appreciate a persons efforts...

I mean yeah the rims are not the greatest, I realize this...there are much nicer rims...but overall I like how my car looks, I went for the look I did, and Im happy with the result.

Like everybody knows when taking pics, usually things look better in person...and Im not trying to justify my opinion on my car, but it really does look better in person.
