New wheels, lowered, black roof.....

Hey guys, I just got my new wheels, with a 1 inch drop (Eibach Pro Kit)

Wheels are TSW Jarama's...fronts are 19x8, rears are 19x9.5...im running Yokohama S-Drive 235/35-19's in the front, 265/30-19 in the rear...

The black roof I got from BlueBatMobile, it was really easy to install, I love the look...it came in 2 pieces but was easy to do, it just took some patience....Bluebat was really friendly, I really recommend him....

anyways heres the pics...

thanks

i only really wanted a little bit of a drop, just to get rid of the gap.....2 reasons, i wanted to keep the ride quality, since i drive this car all day every day....and i'm not really into lowering to have my tires tuck, just not my thing i suppose.....

thanks for the feedback....aspec is next

Wheels aren't my style.

Liking the black roof, though.

It needs the A-Spec lip kit now =)

Love the wheels but just not for our TL's. Had you gone full shiny blk, it would compliment the Shiny blk roof, blk window trim, ant dark tint. Had the car had the chrome window surrund (which i hate), those wheels would be a better match. My .02 but the roof and suttle drop is dead on... .

I know the wheels aren't for everyone, I like them tho....

Car will look better with a spec. Black wheels dont flow well with silver cars. Other than that car looks good.

Looking good man! I'm jealous of the black roof.

The only thing I would recommend is doing something with the headlights. The orange sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the car. I'll be looking forward to seeing when you get the A-Spec kit on

They are not rolled yet...if I have a full car, and I'm going around a bend at a decent speed, I can rub a bit....but normal everyday driving by myself, I get no rub

Nice! Not a fan of the wheels. Car looks nice though.
Drop it lower! Also your pics have a lot of
noise in them. You taking pic's with a super high ISO?
I'd like to see your ride with stockies...
Bet it would look sexy!
