I love it.. I think they look sick but the only downside is you don't have any protection for the curb Keep them clean and congrats!

So nice man! Love the setup you have running. What would top it off is a-spec kit...

looks good...but i'm surprised people put megans and sportmax's on such newer/nicer cars though. even in the 240sx crowd that's frowned upon but i guess just for looks it's fine

spacers would look good but i don't want to put them on cuz i think the way it sits right now is perfect and with a little more of a drop without spacers would even look sexier and ya black on black is getting old.....a guy in my neighborhood bought same TL as mine and bought my MRRs and now people think thats me but from now on gold stands out and is more aggressive gives the car its own unique look

am I the only one who doesn't like this??? I love the color combo, and from the side they look great (pic 6). But those spokes sticking out past the lip is just something I fucking hate (2nd last pic)

I like them a lot! Looks good already with that drop. Can't wait to see them when you lower them somemore. Enjoy your new rims.

At least you still get to see your old rims rolling around. haha...

PEACE!

dont always judge a product by its price. i agree with the sportmax's, but megan is a quality suspension company.

Most of us just get use to the roads and remember where it is bad to avoid it. I hope you put that awesome suspension to work by lowering it. Even with air i still scrape on everything but i just get use to it

just drive slow, everyday when i go to work, well actually when i go anywhere i have to cross railroad tracks, people behind me get pissed cuz i go 5mph or less over them i think it is funny when we pull up to the next stop light they look at me like im an idiot, but i chuckle inside everytime i guess i like pissing people off.
for real just be carefull, dont be in a hurry and you will be alright
low and slow is the way to go
