Its probably not sumthing I would put on my car, but in all honesty, the wheels are not that bad. I just think the A-Spec kit, and minor drop (a-spec suspension drop?) might set off the entire car and make it all flow much better.
Photos dont always do justice.
before i forget...Good god! Wat a house!!!!! Me likey!

Beautiful car. that color on that car is what swayed me on buying the TL. The wheels set it off totally differently than pretty much anything else I've seen. The problem with the import message board scene is that, for all the talk about tryin' to "stand out" and be different, anything that actually is different gets hated on. I think they're classy wheels that set off a classy car.

If you go with a mild drop you'll be fine. Check out the H&R sports which would reduce a good amount of that unwanted gap.
Warranty, no unless your shocks go out your dealer might say that it's because you put springs on but as a whole I've noticed a lot more dealers or service dept. have been getting much more lenient on aftermarket parts.

So sorry bro, to each his own but I'm not feeling the rim choice, Your car is nice though.

big mike 13-Yessir, Gabys pizza all day errday! Are you from that area?
izmyttz- I know what staggered is, and mine aren't but I do agree that it's senseless to stagger front wheel v's But it looks wayyyyy better with a deep lip in the back. One other thing I would suggest to you is the a-spec kit. I had my rims and no kit and then I bought the kit and it made a HUGE difference.
