I searched all over for what I thought would be the perfect rims for my TL-S. I was close when I ordered some MB Battles, only to find out not once but twice that they wouldn't clear the Brembos(even with 5mm H&R spacers). I told myslef I was not going to go through that fitment BS again, so I sucked it up and ordered some wheels that I knew would fit with no problems. I present to you my brand new matte gary Work Emotion XT-7, 18"x8.5", wrapped in some Z rated Gerneral Exclaim UHP 245x40. Red Work valve stems and red Rays extended lugs finish off just the look I was going for. Center caps should be here in few weeks.

Onto the pics










Here are a few pics from Eric's big boy camera



One random shot of my engine bay after a fresh wax job

2 questions
1) what'd you do with the type s rims
2) is the engine bay color matched? we have the same color, that's why i'm interested.

the wheels look really sick. they match the car well. nice choice man

Glad to see you got these over the battles. They look great and best of all they are Works and not MBs lol

I hung the stock wheels onthe wall of my garage

Yes the engine bay is color matched

Thanks for the compliment!

I saw these in person this past Saturday and they are gorgeous! Well along with the rest of the car too

Jesse you did a great job picking these out. Once you get those center caps and a drop, they will stand out even more. Both my girlfriend and I approve the wheels

Welcome to the forums. I edited your post and removed your request.

You will have to wait until you are eligible to go to the Black Market Forum and then wait for a thread to be posted for whatever you want to buy.

Not bad not bad. I think I would like the car more though if you lost the red accents just doesnt seem right on a $30K+ sport/luxury sedan, but hey thats just me.

I will say your engine bay looks BEAUTIFUL!! I really like that!!

Nice Type S man.

218TL

Yes...what is the offset?

golfjwr

I was pretty pissed off with the MB situation, but I would say that it worked out for the best. I really never thought I would have a set of Works in my possesion...

Thanks! Offset is +38

Thanks Tyler! I am glad the GF approves as well, more importantly my Wife approves

The matte gray was the closest color I could get to gunmetal and I am really happy with how they look next to the CBP.
Thanks!

A drop is needed badly, however if I tell the Mrs. that she might drop me. All kidding aside a drop will probably be the next mod. Just not sure if I want to go full coilover or just springs. Springs are cheaper, but coilovers are a little more badass.

I wasn't going to post that pic because I was blasted when I first got them installed. However, I am glad that you did becuase I think they look hot as shit and it really sets my car apart. Thanks Tyler.

This site is full of great info and people who are ready and willing to help. Research what you want to do, then research it again, then make a plan. When I got the car, I had no idea that there were so many options that could be done.

looking real good jesse! i would do coilovers instead of springs, might as well just spend the extra money now....while you still can

but if you choose springs, i haven't had any problems with mine

very nice set of wheels!

Sorry for posting that picture if you didn't want it! Feel free to have it deleted. I think before you got the wheels, the red angel eyes may have seemed out of place, therefore people weren't too fond of them. Now that the red is visible from every angle of the car, the angel eyes bring it all together

And bring your wife to the next meet! You can tell her that she won't be the only female there, I promise

I just don't like the red letter decals in the front.

Your car look hot though.

golfjwr

It's not decals they are painted on.

Golf, you've got it now brother. Everything looks great. The red accents look excellent-especially with your Angel Eyes on! Are the center caps red?

iTrader: (1)

good choice, those wheels look nice on the S. followed the red theme with the lugs huh, pretty sweet. the offset on em look right on. perfect. the bay is looking spectacular. fresh coat of wax! ha ha! awesome.

whats next on the list?

mmade22

Jesse, Santa needs to bring you a new camera for X-mas. Your car looks so much better in person brotha. The modding never stops...Get those H&R sport springs and call it another mod chcked off the never ending mod list.

i think if u paint the acura word in black it would look better than the red

ACCURATEin

I have no doubt that this car has not reached its full potential. With your passion for this beast, it will continue to impress us through time. Excellent choice on wheels Jesse.

nice broo...

Nice looking wheels. Dump the red lugs. Even with the the other red accents the red lugs are a .

If I saw those red halos creeping up on me from behind at night, I don't know if I would get excited or scared...

JwongTLS

that ride is screaming to drop it like it hot!!

nice whip!

TonemanTLS

Yup i agree everything is awesome but the red lugs don't do it for me but that's my

dumpedk24

You could have gone with a concave setup with
Mb battles and it would have cleared brembos. Works a better choice. Drop it! Lookin sick with the devil eyes

golfjwr

Thanks JNC! You know the red halos are looking mean as hell and I get some really crazy stares when I am turn them on.

I agree, they cost a good amount of $, but they are well worth it.

I am working on it...lol

Thanks man!
Thanks for the kinds word Jamie. Next on the list would have to be to lower it with some H&R's, but that might be a few months out...well actually, am I too old to believe in Santa Claus?

You know it just might be the way I have the settings adjusted on the camera, I will have to check it out. Believe it or not those pics were taken with my wife's camera, which is far superior to mine.

Stock rims are gonna stay on the wall for now.

Thanks Eric, I am gonna have to agree with you that this car is far from done. However, I am pleased with it's current look...I can promise you that the modding will continue!

I have had a few offers on the wheels, but I really like the way they look on the wall, plus it's always good to have the stockies laying around just incase something happens.

Thank you!

I know the lugs will turn pink over time but, for now I really like the way they look.

I am telling you man this mod gets the most attention by far. I have had people stop in thier tracks and just stare at them. I get more questions about them, and I actually have had a few people move over on the highway and let me pass. My intention is to no way pretend to be a law enforcement officer or ride up on peoples asses, but its kinda cool when I see them look in the rear view and pull over immediatley

Thanks man! I swear its gonna get dropped, I swear

Trust me I tried almost every setup I could with the battles, they might have worked if I ordered 17" rims, but I wanted 18". I didn't see the point in getting another set of 17" when in my opinon the stock type-s 17" wheels are hot as hell. Thanks for the compliments.
