Sorry, it is ridiculous. I don't understand the infatuation of looking like something the TL is now. RWD. What is wrong with doing it with the same size wheels all around? Just get a RWD car!

This is one sad trend seemingly growing as the cars price drops....

I dont know how I feel about those wheels in general, I don't really like the design and it doesn't seem to flow well with the car, sorry. I like the last 3 pics, because of the masive lip on the wheels but from the side, it just doesn't work for me.

I am also kind undecisive about the wheels. I think they look better on larger VIP styled cars.

but overall you have great mods

its not about the RWD its about the look and the style. doing something new. same size wheels all around isn't a bad thing, but its not a must either. we got all our own opinions glad you have yours

thanks. one thing that makes me love these wheels a lot is just the fact that theyre old school (2001?) makes them something else you know?

Hey bud, he's free to voice his opinion, don't take it hard.

Myself, not really feeling that face at all on those wheels, but OMFG that rear lip

What's the specs on those wheels, what size tires you running? Any spacers?

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and it's all good. My personal response to the "RWD" comment and "same size all around" would just be that the TL's rear end looks bigger, especially with the Type-S Aspec kit so I think it looks better when the sizing is different. As for my car (the RSX in the first picture... still needs a better drop bad... on springs right now) I have the same sizing all the way around and i like it that way.

I was disappointed that we didn't get to stay at the spot longer so I could get more shots but the popo passed by and we decided to jet before anything happens.

Ok, i dont wanna be a hater these are just my opinions

Im not really diggin those wheels. They are a little "too much". But they're unique though

And the photography just looks like some mediocre tripod'ed long exposure shots. I know black is hard to shoot but lighting could have been much better and white balance is inconsistent and all over the place(assuming first and last shot was intentional).
