New Rims on 07TL-S NBP

I just got these rims put on Thursday. The weather was really nice today though. Sorry the car isn't that clean. Next time I clean it I'll head down to the beach and take pics there. Lemme know what you guys think.

They're 19's. The black part itself is about 18" but the chrome lip takes up the rest. If you measure including the lip it comes out to about 19.5"

If you only want a 1 inch drop go with the stock A-spec suspension.

Go with Tein Basics. They are affordable and they let you adjust your height if you don't like it. If you want to go a bit further, and spent a bit more too, go with the Tein SS. Those let you adjust the height, and shocks as well.

I don't think I'll be dropping it because the roads suck around here. Also, I already can hit my wind deflector on the ground if I'm not going slow enough.

The A-Spec suspension kit is the coilover, shock and coil, correct? The Einbach Pro kit is just the springs put on the stock shocks, correct? Will the Einback coils cause the stock shocks to go to low and wear out early? I want my car a little lower, but noy too low. The streets north of Chicago aren't the best. How much does the A-Spec coilovers cost? How much lower do they really make the car? Thanks.

I could tell by the brick driveway. TOO many cars around. Especially Gurnee, use to be all open. A ZOO.

I am going nuts trying to find a wheel to fit my 07 TL-S. Its at Libertyville Acura now. Somebody keyed $1,100 worth of scratches. So I was upset about it and told them this morning when I droped it off to order the A-Spec body kit and put it on I NEVER get dents and scratches. UNTIL now! I want 18-19" wheels. I MIGHT lower it. But wheels is a must. And I want to put on a light grey tint on all the side windows, not the back.

I'm looking into some tint from a place in Kenosha. I was gonna do 35% on the front side windows and 20% on the backs.

To get the wheels I worked with D & R on 41. They did an awesome job and I recommend them. The guy there, Dan, got the gist of what I wanted. Then he did some searching and came up with a couple wheels that would fit. Eventually I came away with these.

I'm sorry about your car man. I hope your insurance covered it. I'm also weary about the drop because the roads suck. Two seasons... winter and road construction.

No way, that sucks. I took my car to Acura of Libertyville on Friday to get the recall fixed on my car.

You guys should come to the Acura meet this Saturday. It would be awesome if you guys showed up with your TL's. Im definetly going to be there. If you guys want more info, just check out the meet section and it should be a sticky on top.

Hope to see you there
