NBP TL-S on Dubs

Ok, at first I wasnt going to post pics of my ride due to the flames that would ensue from peeps who simply have a negative opinion about how MY car looks. But after seeing 20Twozzzz's thread I realized I'm not the only one who likes this look on the TL.

With that said, 2 cents are welcome (i need all the money I can get..lol)...if you dont like it, dont get caught seen in or near my car! lol.

Enjoy,

(the digital camera I have sucks but I'll soon have the Nikon D40)







No rub in the front and I still have my turn radius. The rear fenders could use some rolling. Check sig for tire specs.

Seems like the front offset is in the 30s. I would say Slam that bia, but seems nearly impossible as the wheels are sticking out the fender, unless you neg. camber the front.

Me not a fan of chrome, but my ex, would always have an orgasm whenever she saw chrome rims. Good way to get the ladies wet

But please get rid of the pinstripe!!!!

Doesn't look to bad, at the end of the day just matters as long as you like it. That's all that matters!

You dont like the pinstripe? Why?

I actually think its cool. I dont notice it missing on other TLs. I'll have to take a looksee to see if I like it.

I was thinking about dropping her to get that Bippu look...but that would take negative camber and premature tirewear......it aint worth it.

The pinstripe takes away from the clean black color of the car, thats why I dont like it...

The negative camber you speak about is not bad at all, I have neg. 3.8 rollin for like 10K miles and still no significant wear on the tires. All comes down to findiing a shop to do a proper alignment....

Yea...if it was up to me I would've picked a different design....not to take away from the wheels i have, I think the design is decent.

I got these off of my uncles 05 Chrysler 300. He passed away this past April(R.I.P.) and his car was just sitting in storage. Repo guy started looking for the car so I took the rims off and put the factorys back on for the repo guy. I wondered if these wheels would fit the TL....to my suprise they do(universal lug fitment) and it clears the brembos....just had to purchase smaller tires. I thank I came away on top regardless of the rim design.

Needs a drop and it will be complete. Rim design isnt too bad, spokes are just a little too wide.

Yea, the spokes are a lil wide...these are only temporary. This time next year I'll be gettin some Sevas. I had my eyes on the S-22s in the black finish for a while now.

Lol. I'll never go bigger than 20s on this car. Thats too much for a sports sedan. Hell, 20s are pushing it already.

I detailed the car. I was in Auto Zone trying to find the perfect soap for my ride. The Ice Car Wash seemed to be the most promising. No wax since I bought the car back in July....just the Ice Car Wash by Turtle Wax. Meguires seems to work well with NBP too.

I plan on givin her a good waxin before it gets too cold outside. Maybe in the next couple of weeks.

@stillhere: Nope...no spacer. I think the offset is in the low/mid +20s. Plus they are 20x9 all around. Thats prolly why it looks like I have a spacer.

not feeling the rims dude. If you are comparing it to 22s whip I like the design of his rims.
Sell them. That's why those rims were on a 300.

P.S. Def remove the pin stripe

^^^LOL....why everybody hatin on the pin stripe? The pinstripe is sooooo gangsta yo! lmao.

Nah....on a serious note....the pin stripe actually doesnt bother me that much. Maybe I actually like my car with it. Thanks for the suggestions though, but I think I'll pass on that mod.

And to all those who's not "feeling it".....Ok. Thats fine. Thanks for looking!
