ACCURATEin the specs are 19-8.5 offset 39mm. I already have them. Waiting to drop and purchase tires. Can not make up my mind on what tires, leaning towards the GSD3. My actual question was which type of seat either cone or ball? TIA guys for any info.

...awesome wheel specs,...should fit like a glove. Just stick your finger in one of the holes and see if its flat or curve shaped. Flat would mean cone and curve means ball seat lugs. More than likely, theyre a cone seat, but i'm not sure as i've never even seen a GT-M in person.

...Hurry up and mount some tires on them bad boys im anxious to see what they look like on the car!

ACCURATEin thanks for your help. One more final question . Do you think I should go with the black lugs or the new ray r26 which is almost like a rainbow chrome. BTW my TL is black.TIA .

You're welcome man....I have the black lugs and they've proven to be quality lugs, but the new Rays lugs might be something worth trying out. I keep looking at the anodized coated wheels they keep releasing on the market and the rainbow effect is pretty neat looking.

Rays extended lug nuts in black- set of 20! Lightweight!


Time Attack sizing chart...18's are the largest size I would go with on the TL according to the offset being offered.

I don't have a Brembo brake kit installed.... my pic was used as a quick photoshop edit.... but I do like the way it looks behind the spokes, minus the red line around the rim. I do need to update my pic's since I installed the A-spec body kit though.




What happerned to the pic's of a TL sitting on GT-S's... I thought there were at least 2 guys here waiting for them to be delivered...

The 77W's look great, Ryan.

I haven't seen them side by side, anyone notice a difference between the GT-S and 77W? Forged and cast, or is there any other difference?

I just found out that these are not 100% forge. The outer part of it is forged but the center is cast. It is a little heavier by 4lbs on 19' rims. I like them too but now im leaning towards CE28 or Progressive ME.

I believe there are some progressives for sale in private sales and trade section. You might want to check them out.

Ewwww....maybe it's the pic but the wheel looks like it has a disease of "balancing weights" around the inside.

The one I saw for sale the other day was staggered. Dont see any point of getting staggered rims. Thanks for looking out.
