Nurburging finally on the car

Hello all, i have never posted a picture of my car on here but people are asking me to post pictures on the new wheels i got so here is a couple of quick pictures i took with my iphone really quick before i went in to work, more pictured will come later, I have also use plascti dip to black out the emblems on the rear and the front grill, I still have lots of work to do, i have to order new suspencion new rotors and brakes, I told my self that i would not put any money into this car but the mod bug is hitting me hard after seeing so many nice TL's around me More pictures will come later with better camera, Im also looking into blacking out the taillights next, also looking local peeps to help around me since im new to the car, being driving Euros for a long time and i dont know much about this japanese car, so im down to meet up with some locals and xchange some ideas, thanks for looking.

i really like the wheels, but not sold on the black on black look. but, a drop might change my opinion

love the grill and rear minus the dark emblems. i am still a fan of a little contrast there. but overall nice work! I have been thinking about either dipping or vinyling my front and back...that dip looks great!

Thanks for those kind words, i also like the contrast but i decide to go with the all murder out look on this car knowing that is not everyones cup of tea, but is what i like

He's right they do look just like type s wheels...how do they not come close? Whatever company they are thought it would be a good idea to try and remake perfection!

they do NOT look like type s wheels!

what size are the tires? maybe its the lack of drop but the rim/tire combo looks HUGE. love the rims though, great choice.

The wheels are a nice choice for a NBP. Drop it, Aspec Kit and you're golden!

I'm sorry guys but the two wheels look nothing alike other than they are both darker colored multi-spoke wheels.

OP, wheels look awesome. Still considering these for our TL.

They look way better than the Type-S wheels. I've never really liked the Type-S wheels honestly. They just look so blocky and bland.

one suggestion is removing the pin stripping. it looks tacky and breaks up the flow
