You shoulda told me, John...I had em on ebay for 100 bucks (what I paid for them with no upcharge for the 40 bucks I had to pay to replace the 4 they drilled out!). I sure will though...you were right...they looked nice, nice and chunky and filled in the lug holes nicely...
I was also slightly concerned with how far out the 50MM extended lugs would stick out and how easy it would be to throw a pair of channel locks on them to take them off.
J.
GP...ok, then you're young...then I take it back again and MORE FRIGGIN PICS OF YOUR OLD AVATAR GIRL! Dangit!
She was beautiful (in a non leg humper way...).
You do plenty o mods, man...I wont' be able to do this forever so I enjoy it while I can!

It's all good. I'm not that worried about it right now. I'm really brainstorming what kind of A/V mods I want to do now...

Yeah, Dom's nav2go, but not just for movies. I have a slingbox, so I'd be able watch live Directv on my nav screen. 
Totally safe to do while driving, right?

Holy motherfuck...that just made me seriously consider a nav conversion. WOW.
Catching up on Californication while taking a road trip...yes please.
Only problem is the massive amount of tits would make me take my eyes off the road constantly.

Yeah, honestly it's more of a novelty bc I don't normally travel with a lot of people in my car that would enjoy it, but there have been times when I've been on the road and I've wanted to catch part of a live game or some program briefly. With the Slingbox at home and the Slingmobile app on my iPhone, you can mirror the live feed to the nav screen with the nav2go unit. Then I'd probably just use the AUX input for the audio feed. Don't think I've seen anyone integrate live tv into their TL's nav yet. Maybe I can be the first to showcase it.

Don't worry...if #17 keeps playing like he did last night, I'll just stick to watching the highlights on Sportscenter.

I definitely wouldn't call them glorious. Half of them were from free throws.

Well, Barkley DID keep mentioning that this was a playoff type of game and Linn wasn't really accustomed to playing the level of players that the Heat has right now.
When the heat loses, it's because they are having an off night or are not working well together...not for lack of individual talent. I'm still in awe of Wade...almost every game him and LBJ do SOMETHING that blows your mind. I'm slightly biased but still...

Yep, Wade and James were out of control last night. You don't sense the same chemistry from Anthony and Stoudemire.

Honestly in terms of last nights game......I really feel the Knicks would of done better if Anthony was still on the bench or if Shumpert was playin. Lin and Anthony still havent found a way to balance each other and its truly hurting the team...ie last night....Anthony like him a lot as a player but his ball movement skills just blow takes way to long with the ball....beyond the knicks lack of penetraction ahhh cant talk about the game im still HEATED lol
Sidenote: That sounds like a good idea in terms of the Navi conversion I was thinking of something similar but not using slingbox....mhmm

I had not seen it, but I agree with the very last posts...have you seen the amount of metal on a 10MM spacer...even I KNOW it's not enough to safely hold a stud on the back. You won't have that problem with a 20MM spacer, regardless of the brand.
PS, I've seen threads like this even about project kics and ichiba spacers...don't freak!

Naw man...I been running type II's for a year and a half and I'm BRUTAL on these things. Even run em with 4 lugs when I stripped em...torque to spec and you're good. But, do NOT get type 2's any smaller than the 15MM's.
Tyler (CLtotheTL) drove 1100 miles on 15MM type I's up front and 20's the on the back.
John, ok, I'll take some pics, man...
Here car is due for some pics soon anyway.

Now you guys freaking me out a tad...i was looking at putting spacers on my aspec 18x8.5 with 245 tires i wanted to do 10 in front 15 in the rear will i be safe or should i go with 15 and 20. ...i plan on lowering little less than 2 in all around without having to roll.....what you guys suggest?
. Championship baby!!!

^^^Looking forward to that game tonight, actually. Bron and Wade...
if you do a 10MM, do a version 1. If you do a 15, do a version 2. I would recommend lowering and figuring out how much space you have to work with first...lower, camber kits (if you're going to) and THEN spacers.

New one from last week...car was filthy but I edited to clean it up a bit.
Waiting on my 40MM studs to come in to swap out and be able to run the work lugs...that and a couple of things on my birthday wish list Mainly for washing and waxing and maybe even shifting.

^ Nice Accord pics! I love the newer coupes....if they ever made a TL coupe, it should look very similar to that. The channel that runs down the sides through the door handles is so TL...

Right?!!?! I agree...totally.
Got her 15MM akata spacers for the front finally...version 1's. ALMOST scared me out of it with the 10MM thread we saw where they failed...but we should be just fine with the 15's....will make it look great.

Looks like she could go with a 20mm up front and still have some space left!

Yeah, I hadn't even THOUGHT of that...I was afraid of the fronts popping out too much and then having the rears look like they weren't enough. I think the 15/25 combo will be good...the 8th gens have ridiculously sunken in rears and without the springs were OFFROADING!

HDIZZLE...
I am on those...and I would HIGHLY recommend buying them. The only reason I would dissuade you from buying them is so that when I need new ones, there will be 4 more in stock. 225's are supposedly discontinued.
So far, quiet...smooth as fawk...wear (haven't had em long enough)...great in the rain.

Thanks fellas...
Got a tight weekend...sister is in town from Switzerland and it's her birthday. So I'll be running around. That only leaves me tonight and tomorrow morning till about noon. I am swapping all my front studs for the 40MM threaded studs rather than the 45's I had that came with the eibach (ichiba uses a 40MM for 10MM spacers and a 50 for 15 and up?!?!) Since I had to drill out two of the original eibach 45MM ones and quickly replaced with oem sized ones...I want to swap ALL of them over to 40's which will leave me with plenty of room to run my Work closed ended lugs (that ones for you ebelp!)
So work lugs will be back on tomorrow.
Then I'll try and swap out a rear lug with a good oem one that i take off the front to see how hard that is. I had cut into one of them when removing one of the badly stripped nuts on the spacer in the back. If I can do that, I'm going to get another set of 10's to be able to keep the same offset on the back when I rotate the tires.
These have to last more than 12K miles.
