How many more sets of wheels do you need to have for one car?

i think the only way those wheels, or any wheels for that matter, are going to look good is if you lower the car. our first gen TLs look like 4x4's. you must have a pretty high paying job to afford a 3.2 and 2 sets of wheels for it...

well i was already planning on lowering it. i have 1.5'' drop springs i just need to get a camber kit. well the car was handed down to me from my mom about 6 months ago when she got her new car. and as far as the wheels go i paid $550 for the stocks and $200 for the white ones so i didnt spend that much

TSX wheels look GREAT on our cars. And IF you can find them the Legend GS wheels look good as well.

The CL-S rims look nice. Have you gone off-road with the TL yet? JK.

Drop it and ditch those mudflaps and it'll look great.

i only have one set of wheels for the car now. i sold the white ones. i am getting all the dings fixed soon when i get some money and i am lowering it and takin off the mudflaps.
and as far as the firebird it IS for sale. it has a 6 in it though it is my brothers car. i will have to check and see how much he is asking for it. the only mods it has is a alarm system and a remote start. and it doesnt have black wheels it has chrome wheels
