They are 22x9 Lexani LSS-8. I always have so many problems when i drop it like I did with my 06 Anthracite TL..Actually my car is less than a millimeter higher than stock. .7mm I think to be exact. I ran a 22" Rim with a 245/30/22 Tire

your literally a whole inch more than your stock sh-awd 18's.

since 25.4mm = 1 inch.. i believe your about 12.5mm taller than stock. about half an inch.

btw, doesn't your car feel wobbly with it being so high up off the ground?

Doesnt feel wobbly at all. I can definitely feel the road alot more becuase of the thin tires but that is about it. Yeah i didnt the tire calculator and I thought it was .7 inches not an inch...oh well...i accidently wrote mm before.

Damn, an entire inch larger? I'd hate the torque loss! Better for warranty though ;-). Not loving the wheels myself but it's not my ride. Liking the rest of the mods.

I like the wheels, but they look a little too large for the TL.

Wheels are too big for me. That must be very hard on your brakes.
On the other hand your lights are sexy as hell.
Do the underbody kit next.

Hey Guys, thanks for all the comments. I know 22's arent for everybody. I just didnt want to do 20's and lower it drastically like my last one. I had a 06 Anthracite TL and lowered it 2.5 - 3" inches on Tien SS with 19" wheels. I have never had so many problems in my life. Busted struts, bent wheels from having no suspension give ect ect...I figure I will put a lip kit all around and maybe bring it down only 1.5 -2 inches

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I dont like the tints on the head/tail lights; too much black.

Minority or not, its all about what YOU like...I know alot of the guys like the all red tail lights which also looks good. I just personally like the blacked out lights with offseting hints of silver/chrome...

Big pimping. everybody got different taste. I too will not lower my TL due to past history with lowered car. Post pictures once you get the underbody kit put on.

Why would you tint your headlight? By tinting your headlight you significantly reduce your light output. I bet it sucks driving at night.

I like the wheels, but 22's seem much too big for the car. I think 20's would look much better. But then, that's just my opinon.
