Wink Type-S WORK'd Up!
Wheels came in Friday and got mounted and balanced Saturday. I took a few quick pictures today. Next on the list are coil overs and I think that will be it for a while. My girl is pretty happy with how her car is turning out and I have to admit I'm a little jealous .

^^^ The RonJon kit looks great. The TL looks awesome-the drop will top it off. Your girlfriend is a lucky person.

Nice wheels, always liked those. As others said the drop will make it complete. Personally I think you should ditch the RJ and just get the A-Spec front lip, that RJ bumper is disgusting.

Thank you all for the compliments and constructive criticism it is all much appreciated. The car is definitely getting dropped soon. The RJ bumper is not coming off the car. We both like the way it looks on the car and prefer it over the aspec front.

Damn that looks great! Your girl has good taste

Get a dremel and get that rust off of the rear brake hubs, then paint them black

princelybug-Thanks man.

cltothetl32-I was thinking about doing that but I may just buy some drilled or slotted rotors with the coating on the hub area already.

fresh23- 19x9 and 19x10 I'll have to dig up the offsets. We ordered them back on 11/25/09 and they were in the US 2/18/10.

I'm going to change out the mesh for a different one and have them painted to match the centers of the wheels.

I drive it when she's with me. I don't like to drive it when she isn't around. I only bought a few things like the aspec stuff and steering wheel everything else she has paid for. She even paid cash for the car!

Funny thing is this was suppose to be left stock to daily drive so she could park her little Celica

Hate to use this saying but the pictures just don't do it justice. Saw the car in person and it has the perfect look. The wheels are just plain sick!

They look perfect, that's why I'm asking about the offsets. I'm considering rims that are the same size and if mine look like these I'd be a happy man.

Thanks guys. The car will be lowered in about two weeks. Have a bachelor party and wedding to attend the next two weekends but after that it will be dropped.

blueac-The front offsets are 34mm and the rears are 36mm.

those offsets will be perfect for rolling inside the fender but if you wan to be flush with the fender a little more aggressive offset will do the trick.
