What up guys? I haven't really posted a new thread on here for a while because I haven't done much more to the TL. I am going to flood this thread with pictures so sorry in advance.....

I have 140k on the car and she drives like the day I got her two years ago with 30k...The car came with the ronjons on it already so it was a bonus. I loved the rims and they really made the car look great. In my many travels, I have hit a couple of pot holes in areas where I am not familiar with Atlanta, DC, Baltimore, Arkasas, etc. So the rons got the use and served me well.

I got new tires put on at Speed Styles in Indian Trail, NC and Marcus informed me while they were balancing the wheels, three of the rims were bent.... I decided to look for new 18 inch wheels and replace them instead of fixing these.....Already sold the rons to AJS800 (Adam) as he is going to hhave them repaired and put them on his WDP. I bought a set of 1 year old A-spec (8.5) Gunmetal from Nic (Nico) who was a pleasure to business with. Enough yapping already....Here are the pictures.

LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE...........




IN THIS CORNER WEIGHING IN AT A HEALTHY 56 LBS............RONJON!!!!!!!!





AND IN THIS CORNER WEIGHING IN AT A SLIM 53.5 LBS.........A-SPEC!!!!!!






I took the wheels off the TL and brought them down to the shop to take my new tires off the rons and put them on the aspecs...I have an extra set of tires come winter time.....






The TL up on stands......




Putting the wheels on....



Ron in the rear Aspec in the front....

looks awesome mmade22! the WDP is looking on point. both sets of wheels looked good. i always loved the a-specs, better than my extra set of type-s wheels sitting in my garage.

Wish my Aspecs were that clean...

Wish I had a garage that clean to work on my car in...

Wish I had a trailer to haul stuff in...

Anyways wheels look great man.

Great look man. Clean as hell. Can't go wrong with Gunmetal A-specs for sure. I like your red calipers too.

Jesus CHRIST both those wheels are heavy as shit.... My 19x10.5 work varianza was 53.45 WITH tires... How are those 18s so heavy??? But they look great.

SlimTL

Maybe the tires are heavy or the psi is dense?

Either way, the ride looks nice.

I'm still so shocked at the weights, lol.....



And the 19x9.5 came in at 51.7 lbs.. How are my 19s which are wider lighter than your 18s? lol

eh? spec

Its cause those are rubber bands... not tires.

mmade22

Thanks..The car is a head turner no matter what rims are on it...

Change is good and thanks!

Thank you sir

JPT...Coming from you, that means a lot...Your car is the cleanest whip on here. Keep it up man, I wish I could grow up and be like you some day...

Anytime you are coming down, give us a call....Eric was over last night eating chicken and having a blast pool side. Bring your suit.

You are young and will have it all one day...when I was your age, I drove a new civic SI and thought I was the shit...You got a great start with that sick TL you own! Keep it up!

Thanks, the red calipers were done by me and I have a DIY on here if you want to do yours.

Thank you!

I love them, they look a tad smaller than the rons because of the offset but I like it. I am going to lower the rear to fill the gap in.

Brian, you call those tires?? Your sidewalls are half the size as mine....The weight was with rims and tires....The rons without tires weight 28 lbs so the tire had some weight to it. When you go up to 19's the side wall is half the size as the 18....More rubber = more weight. I think these rims aren't that heavy...Am I wrong here? You are the wheel whore so you know better than me....You had both these wheels back 12 sets ago..lol



Thanks!

The wheels look awesome Jon! What kind of tires did you put on?

Huge improvement imo. RJ rims had their "coolness" factor when they first came out, but they soon grow to just look like the rims seen on the hotwheel toys I used to have as a kid. Good looking TL with that A-Spec set.
