No. The HP racing Evo's will not work on the 6 speed man TL. The offset on these wheels is only 38. They have a kit that will alow them to go on the car but its not worth the $250 they want for it. The AZA Z-2's, Exel E-2's (only come in a 7.5) and the ADA M-Sport classic will all work on the 6 spd man TL. Some come with a 40 offset and a small spacer might be needed.

I just ordered the AZA Z-2's in a 18x8.5 They will look awesome on my silver TL.

They are supposed to be in late this week or early next week. I got the Dark Hyper silver ones. I saw a silver TL on sounddomain.com with the hyper silver but i think the dark will look better than the hyper silver.. I'll post pics when i get them installed.

I definitely want to see these also. Comptechtype-s, you have a 6mt I assume? If they fit, I think these may be my wheel! I'm still a little skeptical that they will fit w/o a spacer due to the amount of lip they have. Let us know! Also where did you order them? Wheelmax has 18x8.5 in only 35 offset. :\ I assume you got the 45 offset?

I got the AZA'a and they come with a 42 offset. I will be useing a small spacer (if needed) and a different type of lugnut that will go a little deeper As soon as i get these wheels on i will post pictures.

A friend of mine had a wholesale account with wheelmax. He ordered them for me. He also has a wholesale account with Discount tire. Im still trying to decide which tires to go with.. The Falken GR Beta FK-451's or the Nitto 555's?? The Nittos are only $2 more (each).

The shop i am getting them from is charging me $850 for the wheels, valve stems, lugnuts, mounting and balancing and shipping. All i need to do is take my tires down and have them mounted up and i'm out of there.

Doh, how disappointing. You should put one on just to see if it clears the brembos

We already tried it with a set of the black wheels, they worked fine and cleared everything. I plan on doing a 3mm spacer just to be on the safe side.
