TL-s Wheels done a different way...
Let me know what you guys think.


7.5 rear end




Inspires


Powder Coated TL-S Wheels






Lastly, the painted brake calipers that weren't supposed to last.

Not a fan of black wheels, but it doesn't look too bad.

Love it! Well done...I've always liked the TL-S wheels. If they were 18s, I never would've gotten A-Specs on my car.

Yeah the only reason I put it here was to show the TL owners a different option rather than selling these bad ass wheels. LOL!

$320 was the total. That was powder coating the whole rim and repairing some of the rash.

Gotta be quick! 17 minutes after he posted them I was on it! LOL!


Thanks everybody for the comments. I've been waiting to get this done for a while as Melvin pointed out. LOL

I've thought about doing the rotors but won't feel like doing them a year from now again. LOL. They actually came in black but that wore off pretty quick.

That's the reason I posted the pics of the wheels here so you TL guys would try something different rather than selling them off.

That's how it is for the 06-07 coupe bodystyles. It is custom in a way because mine is a 03' but when I was rear ended back in the fall I get a hook up on Honda parts and the dealership I work for has a bodyshop so I got a hook up on labor. So I did the rear end swap essentially for free and came out with some $$$ in my pocket.
