1. Aaron, maybe I missed something, but where did you end up buying your rotors/pads?

2. It looks like you got Falken FK452s...didnt you want Dunlops Direzzas?

3. As guys we've all met some teases, but you sir are THE BIGGEST TEASE EEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!

being put on the car sunday AND using your spanner wrenches to play with the suspension.

got the wheels mounted/balanced/TPMS yesterday and everything went smooth. i was worried their machine was gonna fuck up the wheels...but it all turned out great.

1. brakemotive, a vendor in the sponsored sales section. good quality, good price, and they look great IMO. if you're trying to upgrade, i say go for it!

2. yeah originally i wanted the direzzas...but there was a national backorder of 8 weeks...so i decided to get the falkens. they are both great stretch tires so i'm happy with either one.

3. sorry brother. everyone else does it, why can't i!?

There is a special tool that you bang with a hammer while twisting and it comes right out.

The wheels will set off this TL since you have the drop/kit and other aesthetics. probably could've kept the vet with all of this money being spent on this TL..

Sometimes the screws need to be heated even with the impact screwdriver. I wouldn't suggest buying one from harbor freight as I bent/broke the bits on theirs. I ended up drilling them out.

I can't wait to see these wheels!

Just went through the entire thread and the car looks great. I'm in the market for a TL at the moment, just trying to get rid of my 02 Lightning. The anticipation is killing me with the wheels lol.

Aaron, love the wheels man. They look badass!! I'd def rock them. Still gotta get back to you on the wiring thing for the iPhone. To get video from both DVD and iPhone you'll need to add a video switcher. I'll draw up a schematic and get back to you. It's a little more complicated than the other one.

yup, sure is. you know what else is very interesting? when someone is selling wheels for $950 and says the lowest he can go is $900. buyer agrees to quoted price. then that person hand delivers the wheels to the buyer...who conveinently only has $860 after everything is all said and done.

you want that spare tire huh? i'll be at spunk wednesday at 5pm.
