Help! Need new wheels!
Hey guys, new AZ member here. I'm trying to find new wheels for my '08 WDP TL ( already fallen into the $$ pit ).
It's a toss up between the 18x8 Lorenzo WL19 and 18x7.5 RL-15. I need opinions from people who are more experienced than I! Give me anything you got.

if you are willing to pay a little over your budget then id recommend the VarrsToen 2.2.2. Its basically a TE-37 Rep. Simple wheel and always looks good in black and the quality is good as well. you can get a moderately aggressive (ET 22ish) staggered setup for $1099. but that doesnt include tires

I would keep saving to open up more options. I hope you have kept in mind that while $1000 for wheels is a decent amount, you still have to pay for tires, mounting, balancing, and an alignment afterwards.
If I were you I would spend the $1000 on coilovers and rock the stock wheels until you save up again for wheels.

I looked at the advance, but i think the XLR8s have more adjustability. The TIENs are a tad cheaper, have a longer track record, and everybody seems to run them, but I'm not sure. Enlighten me!

i was running TIENs before i made the switch to air. I had the basics which are discontinued but from what ive heard their newer line is much better than the generation of TEINS i had (basic/SS).

Cali, I just installed the Tein Street Advance.
I heard great things about Tein constantly, very good quality, they rode great, ect. They are adjustable enough for the person not looking to slam the car and they have 32 way damping adjustment, which IMO is great but can be overwhelming as well, you'll be adjusting them constantly! Overall, I'm very happy with them

Or do what I did and get both at the same time and as you're doing the coils put the new wheels on and adjust to your liking.

He must not have done a clear coat over the black, resulting in dirt and such removing the gloss finish.
Personally I think the stock wheels look great untouched. If anything, get some spacers.

Ohh, don't get those confused with Acura. A-Spec (Acura) is the sport package for their cars.
That spacer you linked it just a company called A-Spec Wheels.
As for them, I haven't heard anything on them. It's best to research and then buy a set. I wouldn't cheap out on spacers, get a reputable brand
