New wheels!!

Hey azine! i have been a member here since i got my 2007 acura tl a year and half ago! i got with 46k. the color i believe is CGP. i just got my new wheels and thought i would share! i know everyone is gonna say drop it or aspec lip kit but im only 17 and this is my first car! my plans for this car are to just keep it classy looking i dont want to be like evry other teenager who just does cheap mods.

so without further a do. the wheels are bremmer kraft br09. 18x8 +45mm offset

so far the mods are as following
-Fujita CAI
-Plasti dip grill
-debadged
-painted brake caliber
-25% tint all around

let me know if the picture doesnt work and let me know what you guys think!

Very nice-be sure to shoot some daytime shots too.


By the way, I reposted your picture for you so it shows up. With Photobucket, use the IMG code (the last one available) to post to Acurazine.

You have a very clean TL, especially for only being 17! Dem wheels

Just one small suggestion, I would paint the calipers a color other than red. The stock brakes aren't anything pretty and I wouldn't want to draw attention to them.

Besides that, continue the good work!

Better than the car I had at 17. So far so good. I agree with Tyler and paint the calipers a different color.

Thanks for the compliments! And I am very lucky to have this nice of a car for my age. I think I will rock the red for a little bit but I might change to black later down the road. And yes I do plan on dropping it I will.be ordering ht spec 2 soon I hope. I need to sell some stuff first! And I'm also getting the type s bread bumper this winter so that means quads!

thanks azine!! i plan on getting a 10mm spacer so the offset would be +35. i guess i should tell you that me and my brother have a project car also. its a 2004 mustang gt supercharged on h&r coilovers. We are currently installing air ride suspension and the new boss 302 motor! so thats the real money pit. it is rolling on 3 piece forged wheels with an astonishing 18x12 in the rear!

yes air ride suspension on a mustang! the whole front suspension pretty much broke from the drag strip and me and my brother were like why not bag a mustang? haha we have only seen one other bagged mustang and we have actually decided not to go with the boss 302 crate motor we are gonna rebuild the block and prep it for twin turbos because the stock v2 block can only hold around 400 horsepower. you guys probabaly think i know a lot about cars for my age lol but cars are my passion! my brother got me into working on cars since i was about 10 and i know a lot about the tl thanks to all you guys from azine!
