New wheels on my RBP TL

Not for every one, but I like them. MRR HR3's, 20" with 245/35 tires. Carlos from MRR custom drilled a set for me.

I know everyone is going to say "LOWER IT", but I'm a Realtor and have lots of people in the back seat, so I don't think I will. I don't really think it looks "4X4". I would agree that a small drop would look good, so we'll have to see.

Just being honest here, I think that style of rim would look better on a car a tad larger than the TL, let's say Lexus LS,GS,7 series, S class. It doesn't look bad but the rim is so massive looking. As long as you like them that's all that counts, enjoy your new car and rims.

rims are good looking but needs to be lowered, wider, and lower offset.

Haha, ^^^ shares my same thoughts. Love the house but not the rims. To each their own though. How do you like them? Sometimes picturing what wheels will look like on a car and actually seeing them on the car can be quite different.

LOL.


I'm 99.9% sure we've seen those wheels on a blue 4G before, would that happen to be your car or did you recently get those?

I'm not a fan of the wheels or the stance and agree with above posters. You should also get the trunk spoiler; stripper TL's look so naked

Thanks for EVERYONE'S comments, good or bad...

Someone above asked how I liked them. I LOVE them. I knew they would be pretty controversial, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and in this case, I'm the main beholder

Thanks for the props on the house, and yes, the garage doors open the normal way.

I want to address the drop...I know a drop would look good, but you have to remember, this is my everyday work car that I haul clients around in. Below is a pic of my "fun" car and believe me, it's scraping. There's about 1/2" of clearance below the grill when it's lowered (it's on air).

Just to show everyone, I know how much slamming a car looks bitchin...just not in the cards for this car!
