^ those springs look very familiar.. where have I seen them?

Are you planning on doing the job yourself?

TLX_DallasTX

Those are really nice wheels. Your car is going to look really nice.

Vteck_10....Congrats on your TLX! I think it looks amazing and will be even better when it gets lowered. Not sure I am feeling the wheels though but that is just me and I am conservative.

^ agreed. Looking forward to seeing pics.

MrBlaine

Good choice on color, I look forward to seeing the car after you put the new rims on it.

Vteck_10

I'm gonna have a shop install the springs. No time for DIY.

Randy4

Good luck with that

Those rims are going to look amazing.

50% Ceramic Tint all around. Love the look. Not too dark. Just perfect.

Vteck_10

RS-R Down Spring installed (Pictures to come). Love the look and the drop. Ride a bit rougher than stock and bumpier on rough surface but still smooth.
Attached is my alignment from my local Acura. Mostly toe and rear camber that was way off. Rest is acceptable.

Very nice choice on the Volks .
Can you share tire size that you plan on adding?
Will that offset have any impact given oem are 50 offset?
Thanks for sharing.

Any updates?

Vteck_10

Stock Height vs RS-R down spring.
The Drop is quite good. Fill in wheel gap pretty well.

Before and after pictures

Vteck_10

More Pictures. Liking the drop.

^^ Wholly f'in crap those pics are hot!!! My favorite one is the 3rd one...simply stunning and such presence! Man I wish I had one in my driveway....maybe I'll convince the g/f to swap her ILX for one (lol)

Vteck_10

Finally, Wheels are here. Will put them on this weekend and share photos. Wheels look awesome.

Nice. They mimic the factory 18's.

SWEET!!!!! I was looking at those, too. How much did you get them for?

I love Rays/Volks and always had them on my sports cars (350Z TE37, G35 Cp RE30, S2K CE28), but not sure if I can justify the price for my TLX... I was thinking about cheaper alternates like Enkei and maybe even Konig. Don't really like any Enkei wheels, and only Konig I like are Oversteer, which are G25 replicas or close copy...

Dilemma, dilemma...

Let us know how they fit with 35 offset. If there's any issues with rubbing and if you're using spacers, etc.

If you think about it, your TLX is worth more than any of those cars

Now if you were thinking of throwing them on a rusty old mazda, different story

emailnatec

actually, my z and gcp was actually higher in cost.

i can't justify volks because tlx isn't a performance car and don't really need light weight wheels to reduce unsprung weight. it's more for looks.

Vteck_10

Yes, The OEM stock is similar to the G25 D-BK. But the G25 D-BK is much darker in real person. Almost Black but with a nice greyish bronze reflection under light exposure.

Vteck_10

Wheels installed. Looking good.

Due_Diligence

Cleannnnnnnn! I wonder how it would look with a blacked out grille with the "A" left silver? It might flow well with the black and white theme you have going on.

K3RMiTdot

That looks fantastic!! any rubbing etc??

emailnatec

nice. tastefully done.

Vteck_10

No rubbing. RS-R lowering spring just lowered it enough to look good without rubbing. Also, my new wheel width and offset sit pretty even with side panel with no rub.

White Venom

Looks Great!

bla8291

Very tasteful drop. I like everything else you've done to the car too.

advan031

Great looking car and can't go wrong with Rays Engineering wheels!
