GFN, nice wheels! Actually, both sets look good, but it seems like so many people have Aspec wheels. New wheels need a new drop!

Thanks for letting me know what you guys think so far. I do plan on painting my brake calipers and then lowering the car on a set of Eiback Sport Springs with Koni Yellow Shocks.

Looks good, but would have gone to the 245 instead of 235.

Looks good but I'm in love with A-Spec's in any color.

Maybe a little drop and some better pics could sway my opinion to the other side. I understand your problem with it always raining, it's been the same here for the last week. Very annoying when it comes to keeping the car clean.

Nice look man. Very similar to the ones I'm really thinking about getting. Glad I can see what that style looks like on a TL. I like it a lot!

The wheels look good but you have to go lower with 18s.
