those tires look so stretched its not even funny! Are you going for that look or what? I would put at least a 255 on a rim that's 9.5 wide!

In the 1st pics I had the 235s on, and yea, it was a mild stretch. In the last pic where the wheels are painted, I put the 245s on, and thats not even a stretch.
When my axis' came in, I had the 235s dismounted at work, and the 245s on the rdx aspecs. When I got the new wheels, I mounted the 235s, bc I wasnt sure how they would fit. When I saw how they were, and how much clearence I actually had (the next day), I dismounted my 245s and put them on the axis'.
I wasnt really sure what I was gonna do until I saw and fitted it.
It really does fit/sit a lot better just going up one size.

Cool Bro!
, but like I stated in a previous post, I didnt want 18's, and the concavity wasn't the sole basis on my decision.

I like your new wheels, not a big fan of the stretch but its your call. I'm a RDX wheels fan, as you know, but those weels are hot. Just a bit more drop and its perfect, IMHO 
My opinion right before

Ordered these....give me ur opinions (although it doesn't really matter, since they are already ordered)
the ones in the pic are 20s, but I ordered 19s. I searched and haven't seen anyone with a 3g TL with these. So I hope I'm taking a good gamble. I'm not really good at picturing what rims will look like on cars.
Pretty aggresseive fitment imo, will drop my car more if I have to.

Ya I did leave the stripe..g2 caliper paint...not sure if I could get it off, even if I wanted to. Lmao The last pic with the stripe and the 245 invos is how she sits now. Thanks for the kind words...maybe a shoot after the coils come..

Not sure why I stuck my head in, but it reaffirms why I don't come to 3G anymore 
.
OP - a few too many spokes for me, but I like the color. The time attack stripe really helps since the wheels are so dark, and it works nicely with the calipers. The new drop is a big improvement.

I clicked on this thread from the for sale thread of a guy selling these same wheels...I am so tempting...But IDK... They are sweet! But not smacking me. So I don't wanna settle just becuz they are sweet and affordable when there maybe a better wheel for a lil more that is even more desirable. But dam they do look good. I really want to see more pics all around lowered with these wheels... I also have a NBP TL and looking at the MATTE finish set as mentioned... It would really help. Thx

May I add...The guy that was selling 2 sets (1 silver set and 1 Matte Black set) seem to be a fraud... Woke up this morning expecting a final response from some back and fourth contact that was being made... But waiting for a final contact to make some kind of deal... Seem to be a FRAUD as some (Including myself...) and his entire thread was deleted completely and no further word (TLDream)... He just would not post pics ignoring all request to do so. His final contact with me was asking for email or # to email or text pics... I don't think so now...
FK!!! I was hoping it was legit!!! I love these wheels!

I actually prefer the RDX wheels, but these aren't bad. Props for being unique.

Dino did you have to do any fender work to get them under? Just ordered a set of wheels in the same size, width, and offset and the place I ordered from was trying to tell me I would have to do some work to get them to fit w/o rubbing.

Thanks Justin! I'm trying to justify a rear bbk now! Lmao
Yes, I did. They are rolled front and back, and slightly pulled. With this drop, the fronts only rub a tiny bit on an incline or decline, with my wheels cut. It only rubs plastic tho, as I check my tires regularly for cuts, damage. I don't have a camber kit on the front, only an ingalls on the rear and it's set at -2.25 degrees. -1.75 camber naturally on the front.
Are u stock height? What size tires?
Btw, I like my cars like I like my women, black and wet! Lmfao

Na, lowered about 2 inches on BC racing coilovers. I also have no front camber kit but do have an ingalls rear camber kit. Its about as low as I plan on going. I would like to go lower but I use this vehicle for work and if I go any lower I wouldn't be able to go places I have to. I ordered 245/35/19's as I don't care for the stretched tire look.

Dino...with em being 9.5, any steering issues (hitting/rubbing) from full radius rt & left?...
Not for nothing... I ended up pulling the trigger on that guy that was selling these same wheels and bought them! After I saw u post your link on his FOR SALE thread and confirming how the wheels would look due to their size... Sorry I jumped on your band wagon and got the same wheels...LOL! I just love em! They offer a aggressive performance look and still being sleek and sexy... Just a good set up IMO. I had to for that $$$ also!!! I SCORED A DEAL!
