WTF, wow, that's crazy looking...
Colormatch is nice looking... Never been a fan of staggered, but that's my opo.
Looking at that dish and drop, you have to be scrubbing all over the place. No way that car is moderately drivable. It's a show queen now.

I would only assume 20's would slow the TL a tad bit. That was the reason why I went with 19's. But heck..seems like everyone else is going 20's now. Looks and stance of the TL is a priorty over performance I guess. hehe!!! Seeing so many 20's now, I am tempted to switch over to 20's myself.

Stumbled across a picture of your TL on www.importatlanta.com ! I have to say the stance definitely looks impressive...very thin sidewall!

The car drives great! No scrubbing, and it is a daily driver, I will never have a show queen..I drive 60 miles a day to and from work...

Handling- you can tell a lil bit of a difference from the 19's to the 20's but I don't take it to the track everyday so everyday driving and handling has not changed a bit for me.

Eric - thanks for posting that pic you found...always looking out Looking at that pic, I couldn't imagine trying to drive on those wheels around here...South Blvd, Woodlawn, 49 up by you, etc.
ptk681 - that is HOT!! I'm amazed you don't rub.

I don't ask any questions when the girl at the body shop does the work, she is awesome, She even taped off the "HP DESIGN" logo on the chrome portion of the wheel and painted it white too, can't really see it in the pic..D&D customs in Forest Park, GA did the work, They are great!
I was very surprised that I don't scrub as well, If you have ever been to ATL, and Lenox Road, they aren't the best roads and thats the route I take everyday, knock on wood, the past two days have been scrub less...lol...
I'm sure if I have folks in the back seat it may be an issue, but I rarely have anyone in the car other than the passanger seat..

Yea it's wierd. The other night when she picked the car up and we went to the gym, she wouldn't let me drive it. Generally if we go somewhere together, I have to do the driving.
I would have pushed for this look earlier if I had known it make her drive everywhere. hahahahaha
