Lovin' the new setup man! The drop is extremely sexy all around, especially on those wheels. A couple of things though...

You should consider getting the lip spoiler on the trunk...never really noticed how much a difference it makes till now

Also, who did your headlights for you? I want to do mine but I need help doing them. Let me know man!

All in all, good stuff!

As you said, AM FTMFW!

yeah, they are actually 18x8.5 when we measured them... but 18x8 is stamped on the wheels and shown on the labels on the box.

good thing I went with 245 tires. lol

I have softest on all four for now. front and rear ride the same.

I had full firm on rear before, and the rear was very bouncy. It seems your front is on the firmest/stiffest setting?

I also have it set on the softest setting. I like the look but the ride was too harsh on the firm settings. The car still handles great and the ride is smooth.

Hey man...I thought we had the same wheels but yours look different than mine. I am trying to find out what it is...I think the lip on mine is different. Is this what you were asking me about that one time you asked me if I had gotten a certain type of GTR wheel?

TL FTW!

yupe, I saw your avatar, and I wasn't sure which you have - GTR (no lip) or GTR Technology (lip). It looks like yours is GTR Tech, and mine is just GTR.

I like the looks of the lip on yours especially on NBP!!

are yours 18x8 +38mm?

No they are 19x9. Have you thought about a rear spoiler or lip spoiler? On a TL I think the car looks great with or without a rear spoiler, I'm just used to having a rear spoiler on my cars which is the reason I have one. I actually went a little over a year without a spoiler and then I finally put one on. Here's another pic of the car.

I have thought about getting a lip spoiler and roof spoiler, but I have other things on the list.

what's the offset? they look hot on NBP. 19x9

btw, all the pics were taken with my cell phone, so they are a bit blurry.

I just went on the momousa.com website and I found out that my wheels are not the GTR or GTR Tech, they are the GTR two-piece, I don't know which of the three is better or if anyone of them is better at all? I do specifically recall the guy at the shop making a big deal about the fact they were a two piece wheel, I don't know if he was trying to sell the wheels to me or not (I was going to buy them regardless!) I don't know what the offset is but let me check and find out cause now I want to know..

It looks like...
Momo GTR = Non-chrome, Non-lip
Momo GTR Tech = Chrome Wider Lip
Momo Two-Piece = Chrome Smaller Lip

Heres a link to the website:

Let me know what you think.

I always thought GTR Techs were 2-pc. I didn't know there is 1pc GTR Tech.

Good info!
