I honestly dislike TEs but they look great on your car, in fact probably one of the only cars I like the TEs on! And the black works, saw it on IG but full res is nice

Because I personally see them every where in Toronto (Canada) both real and replicas. Also because there's like a dozen different versions of these wheels and theyre starting to all look the same even with all these variations. Which leads me to feeling TEs are way overplayed. I admit, they are nice---but i dislike them :p

Thanks! I think I like the black the most too.
Damn driving from Chicago!? That's awesome. Dedication! Thanks man. We are staying at the embassy suites for that free alcohol happy hour and the buffet breakfast. 
Thanks. I've always been a fan of the one spoke sticker. My friend said he wasn't sure about it when the car is rolling though. Said it might be too much. But it looks good when the car is parked.
haha thanks man. I have an infatuation with TEs. They look good on everything in my eyes. I will probably be 67 years old and will still love them lol.
Thanks Vinny.
It was pretty cool but the finish was starting to annoy me so I had to do something. Next color will probably be red.
Thanks guys.
lol It will be tragic if Rays ever stops making them.
Thanks man. I'm loving the black paint. I keep wanting to drive the car just so I can look at it when I get out.
Not sure when the next time will be when I make it to VA beach.
I see quite a few cars on TEs with Ontario tags. It would be like heaven if I was up there. 
The bmw guys are running the hell out of some TEs lately. I see photos of them all over the internet. Wish I could see them more often in person or on a daily basis.

Very soon to be, thanks for asking! 
Also, why did you put the SL sticker on one side and the regular stickers on the other?

I did that to see what everyone thinks about the two types of stickers and to see which one I liked better. It's hard for me to pick which one I like the most. I need to go set my camera down and do a rolling video to see what the SL stickers look like when they're chopping.
Thank you!

Personally, at least with this setup, I like the SL stickers. And they probably look sick when they're rolling.

I'm amazed that people don't like TE's!!! They look amazing! I cant wait to own a set of SL's for my TL.... That being said I think the SL style spoke sticker really sets off the look of the car!

Oh Yeah!! Always a great time Took a real good look over your car. I hung out by your car for a bit hoping to catch you.. really wanted to see under the hood
Its always a good time seeing friends from far away and make some new ones at the same time.
Saturday I was parked with the Atlanta TL and TSX's guys.... Sunday I was up in the vendor area looks most likely like I was on the opposite side from where you were (from the pic you posted).

okay, i'm diggin the black now.
I'm about to pick up my very first set of TE37's.
it's a used set with the perfect specs of 18x9.5 +22
butt in white.
My car is silver, and while it'll look okay, I'm thinking of changing the color.
cant wait to get them!

Thanks!
Would have been cool to meet another acurazine member.
Thanks!
Thanks! Those are gonna look awesome. I wish mine were +22.
haha
I love the side profile of the TL. Next time I want to park my car on the light rail tracks and run a little ways down the track and shoot straight at the car looking down the tracks.
