Dank's Progression Thread

New wheels... TSW Nurburgrings, 20x9 +35 offset in Continentals DWS Extreme Contact 245/35/20. I wanted 20s since the TL is a bigger car and wanted forged wheels due to the bad roads in the area. This was a good compromise without having to spend $700+ per wheel. Plus they only weigh 23.3 lbs each.

I plan on dropping using the H&R or Tein H-Tech, I dont want anything too agressive.

Hope you guys like it.

Those wheels seem like a bargain for the style and weight. Good job!

Congratulations dankgummy, I think you choose the right wheel however it needs a minor drop. Are those tires stretch ?

Thanks guys.

I guess a tad stretched.. 245s on 20x9. I wanted to get 255s, but I was scared it may rub in the front tires and definitely did not want to have to roll my fenders...

I do need a drop and will do so next month when my buddy has the time. I'm thinking of using Teins H tech, I think the 1" drop will be enough of a good look and still maintain modest ride comfort.

Hope to find a good/affordable paint shop in the DC metro area soon, that will likely be my next mod.

Paint the front and rear all black with the exception of the Acura logo.

Man, now i'm wondering if I should've gotten 255s or if I'll have issues with 245s, that's not a bad stretch is it??

LOVE the Nurburrings! I've considered some for my Type S myself.

Its been a while since I updated, but I had my windows tinted 30% all around with 20% for the rear window. I also had my front and black grills painted black by a local body shop. I got the tint and grills painted all for $400 (super nice guy)!!

I personally think they could look much better with 255's, but I don't see a point in wasting your money switching over. Just do it next time you need new tires.

A drop will also help it a lot and you can even consider throwing on some 5-10mm spacers.

Looks great otherwise!

Nice wheels. Can't wait to see the drop.

It'd also be cool to see black window/roof trim on a '12 since the handles and lights were already de-chromed.
