T1S are pimp. i was going to get them, but the wait really killed shit for me. god forbid you bust up a wheel... another 3 months til you get a replacement

i guess its the same with the Sevas these days, so its not like you are worse off... atleast you can go lower and dont have to ssttreettcchh your tires!

Yeah but they gave me 10x more problems. SEVAS are great for a AT. No need for any mods other than rolling the rear fenders and you can drop the car very low, but for a 6spd they don't work. My

i think the similar wheel design shows what you like in a wheel... and because of this I see you chose the better fitment... I think the low disk clear rear looks damn hot

they look good...

But I think you could have done better with the fitment... why custom order some wheels and go with an off the shelf fitment???

My 1st option was staggered 20's just like the SEVAS. Then I remember how my wife messed up one rim with a curb and decided to get more tire protection. I wanted to go low and I knew that with a 32+ with a 245 tire in the front wasn't going to work and the 255 tires bearly clear the rear. So I decided to play safe. Got the height I wanted, tire protection I was looking for and staggered look. I'm a happy camper.

Your ride is absolutely sick. One of my favorite TL's on AZ.

I like the previous wheels a little better, I think its the color of the spokes.

El Bori... Obviously the New Wheels are NICER and BETTER... there's no question about it...

However... what makes a wheel really stand out on a car is the FITMENT... with that said and proved over and over again by the people responding on this thread... because the Sevas where sitting right in terms of FITMENT... people became more attracted to them...

Finally... I totally understand your situation... sometimes you just have to be practical... and please yourself and your standard of comfort...

Nice choice! I personally prefer the sevas though. Just curious do you have any complaints with the Sevas? I want to pull the trigger on a set but I want to make sure I don't have any regrets once I do. I'll have Tein SS w/ edfc installed with them

Love those T1's wheels. Classy and agressive.

Lets make sure we hook up for Richmond, Va beach, HIN DC or something.
