New wheels, tires, rotors, brakes
Preliminary pic when I was working on the lift. Type-S replicas from Tobacco Road, pads and rotors.
I LOVE IT.
I mounted and balanced myself. Rotors and brakes.... Myself. Tightentened up the alignment.
It was an indoor pic and it started raining.
Wheels? Absolutely great. Cheap Nankang tires? Great.
All in all, wheels, tires, brakes an rotors were under $1k
Better pics to follow when the rain stops.
Love it

the car looks a lot better with the waffles!! Me personally I went OEM and wouldn't buy the reps but I haven't necessarily heard anything bad about them. I was just worried about them bending or something

I left the center caps just for a little color in there. I can paint them, buy new caps.... Or if I decide to lighten the wheels, I'll need brighter caps... I'll see after a wash and tire dressing.

Looks great congrats on the purchase. The reps are a tad too dark for my taste but still look good. Oh and no more curb smacking or front bumper damage to that TL ok? Too mint and low mileage to be doing that shit! lol

Lol no shlt..... In time, I may have them sprayed a lighter shade.... Maybe a silver. But for now, I'll see how I like it.
I've gotten far more compliments than negative comments.

Looks good. Congrats
Even the OEM S caps won't match, so you might as well save the $ and paint your originals

Don't want to paint the center caps. I like the lug nut/cap contrast.
I've seriously gotten more compliments that I would ever have expected and they're not even on for 24 hours yet.

Thank you.
Tobacco Road was great.
Discount Tire was great.
Next up- replacing my scratched tint with the next darker on the sides.
This is absolutely MUCH better than when I bought it.
