I love the way your 4G TL looks Oscar. When is the next time you are going up to Frederick so that I can come up and see this Beautiful Whip?

The ride performance is better than oem specially I can adjust my damping on the fly which a EDFC is a must to have when you carry passengers around for adjustment.

The tint looks good man, where did you get it done at?

Thank you lawn, the teins are completely different from the tein CS I've on my RL but it's growing on me even though the wheels in the other hand is not. Considering another set of rims but nothing written on ink yet.

Yeah I saw your post and those were my first choice but Vossen could never provide me with the weight of the rim so I move on, however I'm having thought on a new line of wheels vossen have this year but with my coming vacation I will have to think about this next year.

I know but I don't drive on good road like you guys have in Florida. I'm actually thinking on selling my current wheels and move to something more agreesive but haven't decided yet. I know 20's will looks good but I'm also concern about the weight. If I decide on pulling the trigger I'm going to stay away from stealth look so I may go for different color wheels. I've my eyes on the Vossen CV4 but Vossen don't know the weight of the rim which is hard to believe. My current wheels only weight 20 lbs which is lighter than my DWS tires is the only thing I really like but I feel the color is not matching very well with my CBP. I think gunmetal looks better on white.

I like the way yours came out too, I had a 2010 white with the kit but never did wheels. I just got a silver SH-AWD and put the spoiler kits on it and need some advice on what else to add

((Update))

Hi guys, I'm planning on doing some changes on the TL for next year since the winter is coming and there's no point doing them now but I will be selling my current wheels as soon as I take them out of the car.
