I guess another small update is that my aspecs are back on...I actually love the look, if I'd never been on AZ I don't think I'd ever have gotten wheels. There are a few days in transition where I won't be able to park in the garage so I didn't want to risk the advans.

Beautiful as always, J! Are you running 235s on the A-Specs? Spacers?

Didn't think the Aspecs would look good on your car... but they definitely do.

That is awesome buddy....your garage is now perfect with a weekend car, a sedan and an SUV....and you pulled the trigger on the right time, before kids is the best time to own a 2 seater....I dont think I will be able to own one until I turn 50

I think they are 17.2lbs...which is very lightweight....
I wanted to target the 15lbs range but thats out of my budget I know some vendors do a thanksgiving sale and am waiting for 18x9 +32 on a particular rim....run some 245 tires on that bish...
but then again, it depends on my mind....since about a month or 2 back, I just dont want to do anything to the TL and leave it as is....its funny that I havent spend any money on the TL this year...whatever I bought, I sold it....I just put an AFR gauge in and the tablet and spacers....$500 all in all....i like how it sits and drives, might as well just leave it be and enjoy it before buying a particular car you know I want

i remember that place...I totally declined running my manager an errand when I worked at a clothing store in the Elizabeth outlet mall....
he wanted me to take the money from the register and deposit it in the bank....i used to take the bus from Elizabeth mall to Newark and a train to Journal square to go home...the bank was in Newark....I told him, I choose life LOL

LMAO,
Just got home, the texting will continue, Anil...I wasn't totally prepared to come up with a number I could live with just yet and seeing that rolling shot isn't helping me part with them either. LOL. I should probably at least test fit them to the S even though the offsets are going to be ridiculously aggressive for that car. Stock offsets on the S are +55/+65

usually the s's ride 17x10 +40 to +50 range....
and sure thing man...as I said, am in the same dilemma boat as you are....wanna finish the look of the car but at the same thinking of going to stock....so rather than spending sooo much on rims, why not just get some XXR but dem Advans be sexy and lightweight doe

- 18"
- Great looking rims, unlike sacrificing the look like that other classic lightweight ugly rim that everyone has
- Gunmetalish whatever, it looks great on black TL as we seen
- 17lbs is damn good for all those things I listed
- What the hell is wrong with you son
J. don't sell it to him. Let him cry
Oh shit, yeah yeah try them on S2K hahahaha
Really wonder how it will look
Anil, do you know how much does xxr530 weight? 18x8.75

Jeremy messaged me and I was actually honored he gave me first dibs....he knows I have been eyeing the setup...he knows it right from the minute he send me the text saying "look what I got"....
I was on my way to Chicago, eating Jimmy Johns on one of the exits (wait that didnt sound right)....I saw the setup and was drooling over it...the wifey thought the jimmy was that tasty LOL....
If I wasnt sooo unsure of my car, I would have definitely said yes to buying and probably sent Jeremy a paypal as well....
