Those doors DO look stupid.

Should be renamed to Lame-o doors

I suppose the different strokes for different folks thing applies here. At the end of it all though, i assumed they would look more out of place and way less proportional. If it has to be done, the TL's pictured dont do too bad a job with 22"s on them, not my cup of tea, but hey. I think its also a result of the latest donk/bubble/box craze going on. It makes it look more appropriate if thats even fair to use in this situation. Anyhow, it never seems to work well when you put huge wheels on a sport sedan. Clean/tidy/simple is normally the best route.

omg god forbid!

it for the same reason people put racing stickers on ther car saying supercharged and turbo i mean we can hear it but they put the sticker on there.

"Yeah, man. Im turbo charged". It says so right there on my fender. In case you didn't know, turbos are cool, so I need to let everyone know just in case they're not privileged enough to have the time of day to come up and ask me.

everyone has there thing respect theres and they will respect yours you dont have to like it cause you dont drive it.....point blank...if u dont like it so be it some people do your opinion doesnt speak for everyone....so dont try to just be you in your culture.

this size of rims on TL or any other sedans is just

crazymonkeytl

Wow

eh? spec

If 22's are too heavy why not go with wood?



Would Pirelli custom fit tires for these?

Thanks for "setting me straight" and "laying it down." People who use "u" for "you" and randomnly capitalize or not depending on how lazy they're feeling at that moment in that sentence really have an impact. I think I could dump a bag of marbles on a keyboard and create a more legible argument than yours; with better grammar.

Good luck finishing third grade.

lmao!

Besides your like 30 if you run around judging everyone and correcting grammar on the internet maybe you should go be a english TEACHER(oh look i used caps again oh my) and make use to what u do instead of trying to pimp out your TL....lol. Wait your 30 with a 2nd Gen TL what happen that management job at Burger king never fell threw....hhhahaaah. I bought myself a TL at the age of 20 sky is the limit for me when im 30yrs old like you....But dont get me wrong you car is cool but you should really have a 3rd Gen at your age..Im playing man dont take it serious or go correcting my grammar im typing this all off the head no Rough Draft teach...lol but its all good man dont take this serious its just funny how people take words seriously... im cool if your cool..just keep everything above the belt man if you dont like something state that dont use words like CULTURE in you opinions especially if its not a good one....Lets all be grown up here you know.

Wow. :sarcastic-clap-emoticon:

Do I even bother with a response?

If you're gonna call me out, be prepared to get schooled, whether that's on the internet or real life. I'm surprised you're even capable of figuring out how to submit a message, considering that you somehow missed every single one of my 8,000 posts with pictures of my 3G. (or never mind the fact that you could have researched that little tidbit by looking at my signature...)

If you want to say things like "keep everything above the belt" then don't go implying that I'm somehow inferior to you, because obviously if written word was any indication whatsoever, you're not.

That's just one of your "sentences." You look like a fool.

Now take your toys and go home.

Thats where 22" wheels belong. AT A SHOW. WAY TOO big for everyday driving, IMO Good luck if you go that route

illjuan3

oh you have a 3rd gen time to upgrade to a RL.... hhahaha time 2 ^grade 2 a RL....im done....this is going nowhere...lol...you're prolly seriously getting mad.


22" do belong at a show...but i have seen some 3rd gen tl's that look ok and some that are butt ugly

brettallica

Juanito, don't flatter yourself; I'm not getting mad...

But you are right about one thing: you're done.

sik01cls

22's + tl3rdgen = 0-100 mph in 16m:49s

illjuan3

i hope no one actually tries to go 100mph on 22" wheels..lol..they cost to much to drive that hard on anyway...19" max if im gonna be hitting speeds of 100+

puppit

Can you say "chuck wagon." Sorry, not my cup of tea.

trancemission

bottom line is 22's do not belong on a TL. Hummer yes, TL no......

i guess going bigger is the new fab nowadays? And here I am thinking about getting 18's ... i guess my style is obsolete siighhh lolol

You are so write. And if yore thing isn't English, its cool with me. You do whatever you want to over their. Just my too cents.

Bearcat94

Pirelli's might fit, but they'd be rubberbands. Sure, steel belted, but rubberbands none the less.

ha ha...You people just dont give up....At my age texting and acronyms are in and proper grammar on the internet and phones is the least of my worries, maybe on my next literature exam but not here.

If you guys wanna hi-jack this thread with gramma issues take it to the Off Topic forums. This thread if for point of views, opinions, and pics of TLs on 22".

brettallica

LOL OMG STFU ... JK

I think he was just messing around, and possibly siding with you. I wasn't, though. But, I will apologize for being a jerk earlier.

I get offended when people try to imply (or express) that I'm sort sort of racist or anything related to it, because I'm the furthest thing from that. I even said in my original post (the one that got your attention) that I "probably just [don't] understand that culture." Basically, I was just throwing out a disclaimer that I didn't get it. It wasn't intended to be spiteful; I was just questioning it because it doesn't make sense to me, personally.

To be clear, there's nothing wrong with questioning a "culture." This whole AcuraZine thing is a culture, and I'm sure people who aren't interested in online forums, or in modifying their cars, would be very quick to question the culture, but there's nothing wrong with that, per se.

brettallica

How about some fresh new 19s?

lookin' good brett..... drop in the future ?

FWIW - I didn't see the whole "language flame war" thing on page 2 until AFTER I posted mine.

So, I was supporting your choice to do what you wanted to your car, while taking a jab at your post language. But, would not have done so had I seen the 2nd page sooner.

I was too late to edit/delete and did not have a "report post" option on my own post to request deletion.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

brettallica

Definitely. I'll be taking it a bit easy for a little while, though, while the checkbook recovers a little bit from the rims and tires hit it just took (~$2000ish). I'm strongly considering the Tein with the EDFC package, but I want to be careful before making any commitments because I've heard a lot of good and a lot of bad about Tein.

illjuan3

Nice Tl Brett...drop it and you're done

chill_dog

Brett - I didn't want to comment here, but it's the only place you've posted pics of the new wheels (not allowed to comment in the sticky in the Wheels subforum)....they look great! You need to start a clean thread with a lot pics from all angles.

All - text messaging is the most assinine form of communication ever, and the subsequent "language" of abbreviations it spawned is just sad. I don't care if all the kids are doing it...all the kids used to where Jams and parachute pants, too. It was summed up best in an episode of The Boondocks.

brettallica

Will do! The only thing is, I don't want it to turn into another "your white grill sucks" thread. hahaha!

darksom1

Hay Brett, wheels r smokin' butt btw...da white grille steel sux!

Hahaha...funny ass thread...just kidding about the grille tho buddy! But do like chill_dog said and give those boys a proper coming out party!! WTF breaking them out in a language thread??? LOL!
